Thank You!

As our faithful readers may, or may not realize, the Massillon Review has no advertising budget to speak of.

But we do have a champion. A man (not a boy) who is crusading tirelessly to increase our readership.

The Honorable Massillon City Councilman Larry Slagle.

Larry is working diligently to increase our readership, and for this we thank him.

We should probably add him to our crack marketing team.

As a matter of fact, he is our marketing team.

All by himself.

Unfortunately, others, certainly not us, but others may see his recent tirades, we mean well reasoned, necessary discussions, as evidence of his thin skin.

We do not.

We acknowledge the error of our ways.

We realize our vicious, personal attacks where we (gasp) repeat his quotes and share his proposed ordinance is unacceptable.

Using a man's (not a boy's) own words to explain what he said.

Shame on us.

We now give those with weak stomachs fair warning.

Lock the doors and hide the children.

We will now present a quote from the Honorable Councilman, the Estimable Larry Slagle.

Some people (other people, not us, of course) might want to say something like, "if you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen."

And some people (other people, not us) may wonder why the Honorable Councilman is still in the kitchen. After all...

Here it comes.

Last chance to turn away from the screen.

Close your eyes.

“I don’t believe that people in the same household should be elected officials in the City of Massillon and taking paychecks,” Larry Slagle said Tuesday night. (The Independent, January 30, 2013).
 
AGHHHHHHH!!!
 
A vicious personal attack if ever there was.
 
We warned you not to read this.
 
You should have listened.
