The stories about the temper tantrums Massillon's Mayor for Life has been throwing over his perceived snub by the Democratic Party are spreading fast and furious around town. It has been well established that the mayor's bruised ego was primarily responsible for him kicking the 42nd President of the United States out of Massillon. The editors at the Massillon Independent seem to concur;

We anticipate after reading that particular editorial, the mayor will commence one of his monthly "boycotts" against the paper until they start treating him with the respect that a mayor for life deserves. Only write favorable stuff, or the King will not grace you with his spoken word.
Our favorite story from the mayoral bunker is that Frank didn't want President Clinton around because he believed "Kathy Catazaro-Perry would be on stage with Clinton." We believe this story.
When Ohio Governor Ted Strickland popped by the Catazaro-Perry home this Summer, Frank blew a gasket. He felt "snubbed" because Strickland didn't show our mayor for life enough love, and that he dared visit the home of the person that Frank decided was his arch-nemesis, Kathy Catazaro-Perry. Catazaro-Perry actually invited the mayor to her home, but our King complained because he required more notice. Perhaps the royal robes were at the cleaners.
We don't imagine that if the roles were reversed, that Frank would have invited Kathy to the Cicchinelli homestead, short notice, or not.
We believe this incident was at the root of our mayor's recent tantrums, and his decision to quash the presidential visit.
Yes, he is that petty.
