A Line in the Sand

At our Mayor for Life's Friday Press Conference, where he declared that he would run for a 7th four year term as Massillon's Supreme Leader, he was adamant that "outsiders" not involve themselves in Massillon City Politics.

"Cicchinelli also said outsiders should not dabble in city politics. He said he will call out such "carpetbaggers" for involving themselves in the mayor's race or other citywide races. There's going to be a line drawn in the sand, he said, refusing to identify such people" (The Independent, July 31, 2010).

Today, The Massillon Review will list these carpetbaggers. We have called them out. We have drawn a line in the sand.

We are confident our mayor means what he says, and will not be a hypocrite. He must practice what he preaches, or it will be clear that he lacks integrity. We are drawing the line in the sand for him, right now. We ask him to stand with us to repudiate these "carpetbaggers."
