This email came from one of our faithful readers;
"A public relations company by the name of Wern, Rausch & Locke (WRL Advertising) produce Mayor Cicchinelli's campaign advertising. As they are located in Jackson Township, I would imagine they are ineligible to assist the mayor in his next campaign."
Yes, that is correct. Thank you for pointing this out. WRL Advertising would indeed be "carpetbaggers," as they are located outside the City of Massillon. Our crack Massillon Review research team has discovered that WRL Advertising is located on Dressler Road, in the heart of Jackson Township.
Let us refer to Saturday's (July 31) Independent;
"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."
WRL Advertising would qualify as a carpetbagging advertising firm as they ARE NOT located within the corporate limits of the City of Massillon. Mayor Cicchinelli will have to hire an advertising firm located within Massillon to help run his campaign, or else he would be considered an appalling hypocrite.
We urge any of our readers who are involved in the advertising business to send their resume to our mayor. He's looking for a new firm.
