Son of a Preacher Man

The Mayor's Loyal Enforcer, Council President Glenn Gamber, has sent out a mailer to Massillon's voters.

This is what Gamber writes;

"As a minister's son, I learned at an early age that service, in all its many aspects, is highly valued."

Glenn Gamber writes of 'service.'

"He stormed out of council chambers after hurling obscenity-laced remarks toward Councilman Larry Slagle, who is offering an alternative to Mayor Frank Cicchinelli's proposal. "This is dumb. This is (expletive) dumb," he said, only to return minutes later to apologize and then continue to question the proposal" (The Independent, March 30, 2011).

When Kathy Catazaro-Perry and Tony Townsend objected to Gamber's interpretation of the rules during the park renaming debate, Gamber attacked them personally, accusing them of taking their marching orders from Gamber's now opponent for council president, Scott Graber;

"What did Mr. Graber tell you to say next?" (Glenn Gamber, The Independent, August 26, 2010).

Glenn Gamber launches into profanity laced tirades while presiding over council.

Glenn Gamber lied when he announced his 'retirement' from politics, only to be part of a bait and switch, under the patronage of our Extraordinary Mayor for Life, to become city council president, and avoid an election in the Democratic primary.

He has called Kathy Catazaro-Perry a "political game player," and it has been reported that on a local Massillon Sports web site, he referred to her as a "typical dumb blonde."

This is Gamber's idea of 'service' as the presiding officer of city council.

Perhaps Glenn Gamber should reflect more often on the lessons he probably learned as a minister's son.

Like the one about casting the first stone.
