There was a telephone poll conducted last week in Tigertown. One of our crack Massillon Review staffers reported receiving the phone call. The poll was asking questions about our beloved Mayor for Life, Kathy Catzaro-Perry, and who you would choose as mayor, the Mayor for Life, or Kathy Catzaro-Perry. The Massillon Review is working feverishly to obtain the results for our loyal readers.
What we do know was that our Mayor for Life was huddled up last week with his carpet bagging advertising firm. So much for his self proclaimed 'line in the sand.'
It is believed that our Mayor for Life just ain't as popular as he once was among the citizens of our fair city.
The mayor almost lost four years ago to former councilman Tim Bryan. Bryan didn't run much of a campaign, and never criticized the mayor or his record, yet almost won the race.
It is assumed should Catazaro-Perry run against the mayor, her campaign would be much more active and aggressive, and most folks on the inside believe she would dispatch of our beloved mayor.
A reliable Massillon Review source claims that a number of the Mayor for Life's political support team and aides de camp have already jumped ship, and that Team Cicchinelli is in disarray.
We are sorry to hear that.
City government wouldn't be as much fun without Frank Cicchinelli at the helm.
His paranoia, delusions of grandeur, and paper thin skin have come to symbolize leadership in our fair city.
Besides, the majority on city council would be lost without him.
Who would tell Taxman Hersher which taxes to raise?
Who would explain the city's budget to the Lap Dog of the Treasury, Paul Manson?
The Mayor's Loyal Enforcer, Council President Glenn Gamber wouldn't know who to strong arm.
The Boy Wonder, Larry Slagle wouldn't know who to suck up to.
Who would host the Friday Poker game?
No, the mayor needs to get it back together fast.
The city would just fall apart without him.
