The 12 Days of a Massillon Christmas Part 2

OK faithful readers, lets sing together, with feeling!

On the Fifth day of Christmas the Mayor for Life gave to me...

(The suspense is killing us)

On the Fifth day of Christmas the Mayor for Life gave to me

FIVE RUBBER STAMPS;

Donnie Peters, Paul Manson, David McCune, Taxman Hersher and Ron Mang pass the unbalanced 2010 budget on a 5 - 4 vote.

In 2010, Council authorizes spending almost $200,000 dollars of Park Tax money to purchase the restaurant at the Golf Course, a restaurant with no business plan, on a 5 - 4 vote.
Ron Mang, Taxman Hersher, David McCune, and Larry Slagle, with Council President Glenn Gamber breaking the tie provide the five votes.

In November, Taxman Hersher, David McCune, Ron Mang, Paul Manson and Larry Slagle vote 5-4 to give the citizens of Massillon a brand new tax, a "storm water utility fee" which will be tacked on to our sewer bills.

And to no one's surprise, Taxman Hersher, Ron Mang, David McCune, Paul Manson and Donnie Peters voted 5 - 4 against Councilman Tony Townsend's plan to honor the late T. Roy Roberson, even after the Mayor for Life "pledged" to the people of Ward 4 that he would support these efforts.

Eight paranoid delusions

"He even suggested people in his own party intentionally left him out of the loop" (The Independent, October 26, 2010).

"And I really feel bad for the mayor because every time someone comes up with something and is an independent thinker he thinks there has to be a conspiracy. The guy's got a serious case of paranoia" (Tony Townsend, The Independent, November 20, 2010).

"One there will also be anti- (Mayor Frank) Cicchinelli people. If he says the sky is blue they will think it is green..." (Parks Czar Kenn Kaminski, The Independent, May 10, 2010).

"I absolutely anticipate (personal attacks)... It's going to get nasty" (Frank Cicchinelli, The Independent, July 31, 2010).
