I am Legends

According to the Stark County Board of Elections, the City of Massillon is divided into 26 geographically defined voting districts. These are called precincts. Each of Massillon's 6 council wards is comprised of 4-5 of these precincts.

In Tuesday's primary election, voting turn out was very low.

Except in one area.

In the Massillon mayor's race, 2,274 Democratic votes were cast.

Over 10% of these votes came from just one precinct.

The precinct which comprises the homeowners around the Legends of Massillon Golf Course.

Under the leadership of the Cicchinelli clan, who live adjacent to the golf course, the residents around the Legends have been whipped into a political frenzy because they believe their basic rights are under attack.

The right to life, liberty, and a taxpayer subsidized golf course.

Mayor Catazaro-from-Perry did not fair so well with the Cicchinelli/Legends coalition, receiving less than 34% of the vote.

Even though Catazaro-from-Perry has promised to keep the golf course open, and merely wants to improve operations, they want someone more amenable to their views.

The City may be broke, the parks may need major improvements, but by God, we better have a golf course.

The Legends homeowners clearly know who their daddy is, the man who brought us unsustainable golf course debt, the man who broke Massillon's parks so we could pay for the ill fated golf course expansion, a fellow golf course homeowner, the Extraordinary One himself, Frank Cicchinelli.

And Cicchinelli surrogate J. Davis Ress received over 64% of the Legends vote.

Because the apparent big problem in Massillon must surely be that we just aren't doing enough for the golf course.
