CORRUPT POLITICIANS PERPETUATE CORRUPTION AND BREED OTHER CORRUPT POLITICIANS! HERE'S A PERFECT EXAMPLE:
A faithful reader of this blog has forwarded information to the blog concerning ANOTHER CORRUPT MEDINA COUNTY POLITICIAN, COUNTY TREASURER JOHN BURKE.
The reader has forwarded the following links, which may be of interest to the reader:
http://www.topix.com/forum/
If you have perused any of the material at any of the above links, you are likely to have found that BURKE seems to have evoked the public ire in years past because of his shady dealings.
In fact one reader, apparently from the venerable Medina firm of A.I. Root Co., posted the following message:"Be very careful of Medina County Treasurer John Burke. Those who are aware of his past would certainly avoid dealing with him on financial issues."
It seems that BURKE, like HOLMAN, has more than a few skeletons rattling around in his closet.
One particular reader comment however, caught the eye of this blogger: "John Burke was convicted of tax crimes, filed for personal bankruptcy and miswired half a million dollars of the library's money to a bankrupt boot company in Texas!!!!"
The blogger also found another reader comment enlightening: "SPENT OVER $50,000 OF OUR TAX DOLLARS to fly to HAWAII, NEW ORLEANS, MONTANA, NEW MEXICO AND MORE. You've got to be kidding me. Say bye-bye Burke."
I'll bet BURKE learned an awful lot about managing Medina County finances in Hawaii, New Orleans, Montana, New Mexico, and more, all on the taxpayers' tab.
The representation that BURKE was convicted of tax crimes was particularly intriguing to the blogger, who decided that it might be a good idea to check the records at the website of the Medina County Clerk of Court. WHAT AN INTERESTING TURN OF EVENTS ARE REVEALED THERE!!!
Under Criminal Docket No. 97CR0183, found at http://www.co.medina.oh.us/medct_epublicnodr/pages/DetailForm.aspx?case=97CR0183 , the file discloses that BURKE was indicted by the Medina County grand jury on July 1, 1997 on SIX FELONY COUNTS OF FILING FALSE TAX RETURNS.
BURKE'S FELONY INDICTMENT is not publicly displayed at the Clerk's website, for all the obvious reasons to be found in a corrupt "criminal justice" system.
The blogger, therefore, can only speculate that BURKE had been indicted for violations of Section 5747.19 of the Ohio Revised Code, if only for HOLMAN to falsely portray to the public that he was dealing with the dishonesty of another CORRUPT MEDINA COUNTY POLITICIAN.
Here's the l aw:
747.19 Filing incomplete, false, and fraudulent returns.No person shall knowingly fail to file any return or report required to be filed by this chapter, or file or knowingly cause to be filed any incomplete, false, or fraudulent return, report, or statement, or aid or abet another in the filing of any false or fraudulent return, report, or statement.Effective Date: 12-20-1971
5747.99 Penalty.

Effective Date: 12-20-1971
5747.99 Penalty.
(A) Whoever violates section 5747.19 of the Revised Code, or whoever violates section 5747.06 or 5747.07 of the Revised Code by failing to remit state income taxes withheld from an employee, is guilty of a felony of the fifth degree.
Of course, neither BURKE nor HOLMAN wanted to have the full facts put before a jury of voters. So, on October 17, 1997, BURKE waived trial by jury.
Then, surprise of surprises, on November 10, 1997, BURKE'S INDICTMENT WAS DISMISSED UPON MOTION BY HOLMAN!
Lest justice be recognizably denied, at least for appearance sake, on October 20, 1997, HOLMAN filed a MISDEMEANOR BILL OF INFORMATION CHARGING BURKE WITH DUTY OF AGENTS TO REPORT AND TESTIFY, IN VIOLATION OF SECTION 5703.43 OF THE OHIO REVISED CODE! You can find the docket at http://www.co.medina.oh.us/medct_epublicnodr/pages/DetailForm.aspx?case=97CR0332
Here's the statute with which BURKE was then charged:
5703.43 Duty of agents to report and testify.

Here's the statute with which BURKE was then charged:
5703.43 Duty of agents to report and testify.
No officer, agent, or employee of any public utility, company, firm, person, partnership, corporation, or association, subject to any law which the tax commissioner is required to administer shall fail to fill out and return any blanks required by such law, fail to answer any questions therein propounded, or knowingly or willfully give a false answer to any such question where the fact inquired of is within his knowledge, or fail upon proper demand to exhibit to the commissioner any book, paper, account, record, or memoranda of such public utility, which is in possession of such officer, agent, or employee or under his control.
Effective Date: 10-01-1953
Interestingly, the blogger finds no reference at all to prohibitions by a PUBLIC OFFICIAL referenced in Section 5703.43, so that BURKE WAS CHARGED WITH A MISDEMEANOR OFFENSE FOR WHICH HE COULD NOT BE LEGALLY CHARGED, EXCEPT IN MEDINA COUNTY.
On the same date, October 20, 1997, BURKE, A PUBLIC OFFICIAL, PLED GUILTY TO 6 MISDEMEANOR COUNTS AND WAS FINED $250.00 ON EACH COUNT.
BURKE WAS NOT ORDERED TO PAY THE COUNTY RESTITUTION IN THE AMOUNT OF THE TAXES THAT HE HAD AVOIDED PAYING.
The essence of BURKE'S conduct, as best the blogger can reconstruct from available information is that BURKE Tampered with Records (a violation of law) by issuing falsified real estate tax bills to himself, reducing the amount of tax due and owing by BURKE to MEDINA COUNTY. The blogger's best guess is that BURKE'S criminal conduct was discovered during an audit of his office by the State of Ohio. It is likely that state auditors turned the matter over to HOLMAN for prosecution, putting HOLMAN between a rock and a hard place.
This was the only way that CORRUPT COUNTY PROSECUTOR DINO HOLMAN could wiggle out of this ticklish situation without disrupting the cozy love fest between Medina County politicians.
HOLMAN could have, and should have charged BURKE with THEFT IN OFFICE, using as the predicate felony offense TELECOMMUNICATIONS FRAUD, in violation of Section 2913.05 of the Ohio Revised Code.
Of course, just as in the matters of former Medina County Commissioner MARK WHITFIELD (See http://medinacorruption.blogspot.com/2010/12/equaler-protection-under-law-in-medina.html) and former Brunswick Service Director SAM SCAFFIDE (See http://medinacorruption.blogspot.com/2011/07/fix-is-in-dino-holman-wont-prosecute.html), HOLMAN did not want to forever bar BURKE from holding public office.
However, HOLMAN had no problem prosecuting the purported sex slave of his best bud, Erie County Prosector Kevin Baxter (See http://medinacorruption.blogspot.com/2010/12/holman-implicated-in-malicious.html AND http://medinacorruption.blogspot.com/2010/12/just-side-note-on-holmans-best-bud-erie.html).
GIVEN THE UNEVEN PLAYING FIELD IN THE MEDINA COUNTY COURTS, WHERE CITIZENS ARE DEPRIVED OF THEIR CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS BY HOLMAN AND LAPDOG MEDINA JUDGE COLLIER, ACTING IN CONCERT, AND WHERE POLITICIANS ARE EXEMPT FROM PROSECUTION FOR THEIR FELONY CRIMES, IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT THE CRIMINAL DIVISION OF THE UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE CONDUCT AN INDEPENDENT INVESTIGATION OF THE ENTIRE MEDINA COUNTY "CRIMINAL JUSTICE" SYSTEM.
MUCH MORE TO COME ....
