Carpetbagger Exposed!

During our Mayor for Life's press conference this past Friday, Mayor Cicchinelli was adamant that people who do not live in Massillon should not be involved in city politics. He referred to such people as "carpetbaggers." Cicchinelli promised to "draw a line in the sand," and call out such "carpetbaggers." Mayor Cicchinelli has thrown down the gauntlet, and the Massillon Review accepts the challenge. We are drawing the "line in the sand." We are calling out the "carpetbaggers." We are calling out Massillon Mayor Frank Cicchinelli.

On Monday, we identified the campaign contributors to Frank Cicchinelli's campaign who DO NOT live in Massillon. We anticipate he will be returning the over $7,000 they donated to him in 2009.

During our Mayor for Life's press conference, our mayor made the following statement;

"People in Massillon should decide. People that live in Massillon should decide who their mayor should be, who their council member should be. They shouldn't be influenced by anyone on the outside, any individual that doesn't live within the corporate limits of Massillon should not be concerned with who the mayor is and who council members are."

OK, it appears that the mayor's position is pretty clear. If you don't live a political subdivision, you shouldn't participate in its politics.

Our mayor actually lives in the Perry Local School District. He pays his school taxes to the Perry Local School District. Why then does he meddle in the affairs of the Massillon City Schools, and Massillon School Board Elections? Is he not a "carpetbagger." Must we draw a "line in the sand?"

On September 22, 2009, Mayor Cicchinelli's campaign made a $500 contribution to the campaign of Massillon School Board candidate Tom Seesan. Cicchinelli was also spotted attending Massillon School Board meetings during the "head football coach should be the athletic director" saga.

People in the Massillon School District should decide. People that live in the Massillon School District should decide who their school board member should be. They shouldn't be influenced by anyone on the outside, any individual that doesn't live within the corporate limits of the Massillon School District should not be concerned with who the school board member should be.

Enough said. End the hypocrisy.

We are certain the Perry Panther Football Booster Club is anxiously awaiting his membership application.
