Poor Attendance

According to one of our faithful Massillon Review readers, Loyal Rubber Stamp Dave McCune, Massillon's 6th Ward Councilman, has been having trouble coming to the council meetings.

According to our check of the minutes, McCune has missed two out of the four regularly scheduled council meetings in January and February, as well as a number of work sessions/committee meetings.

Members of City Council earn $7,555 dollars per year and only meet once a week, or less, depending on whether or not council members Donnie Peters and Larry Slagle want to schedule summer vacations for city council.

This comes to about $145.00 per meeting. Most meetings don't last two hours.

The mayor needs your vote.

As a loyal rubber stamp, our beloved Mayor, King Francis the Eternal, needs Dave McCune's vote.

Attendance is critical.

McCune has an obligation to show up every week and vote however the mayor tells him to vote.

The voters of Ward 6 have elected a rubber stamp, and they expect that their rubber stamp should show up every week and fulfill his stamping obligations.

As the number of rubber stamps on council is dropping, and because council members Donnie Peters and Larry Slagle sometimes dare oppose our Lord Mayor, McCune is often the critical fifth vote to pass unbalanced budgets, and to buy restaurants.

It's only one meeting a week.

Get to work.
