FROM AN ONLINE ARTICE PUBLISHED BY THE MEDINA GASSETTE ON JANUARY 21, 2017, FOUND AT http://www.medina-gazette.com/Medina-County/2017/01/21/First-interview-with-new-Medina-County-Prosecutor-S-Forrest-Thompson.html
[Medina County Prosecutor Forrest]Thompson said he also has long been concerned about financial exploitation of the elderly; he worked on a number of civil cases in his private law practice.
“My personal opinion is that a civil remedy is inadequate,” he said. “When people exploit the elderly, they should be held criminally accountable.”MR. THOMPSON SHOULD CONSIDER SLUG MEDINA MUNI JUDGE DALE CHASE, A LODI SLUMLORD, FOR REVIEW IN THE MATTER OF EXPLOITING THE ELDERLY, SPECIFICALLY AN 85-YEAR-OLD MARRIED COUPLE LIVING IN A DECREPIT SLUM IN THE VILLAGE OF LODI OWNED BY CHASE.
THE HOVEL, OWNED BY CHASE, IS BELIEVED TO HAVE BEEN BUILT IN 1895 AND HASN'T SEEN ONE LICK OF UPGRADE SINCE, SO IT SEEMS.
CHASE'S RAT HOLE, WHICH HE PASSES OFF AS AN "INHABITABLE DWELLING," IS A "DUPLEX" (SIDE BY SIDE) FOR WHICH HE CHARGES THE 85-YEAR-OLD COUPLE IN THE AMOUNT OF $600.00 RENT PER MONTH.
SLUGLORD CHASE CHARGES THE OTHER TENANT IN THE SAME AMOUNT.
WHAT THAT MEANS IS THAT SLUGLORD CHASE IS CHARGING THE ELDERLY COUPLE $7,200.00 PER ANNUM TO LIVE IN THIS DUMP!
WHEN TAKING INTO ACCOUNT THE CHARGES TO THE OTHER TENNANT IN THE SAME AMOUNT, SLUGLORD CHASE IS CHARGING TENANTS OF THIS SHITHOLE AN ANNUAL AMOUNT OF $14,400.00.
THE FACT THAT SLUGLORD CHASE IS GOUGING THIS ELDERLY COUPLE IS NOT THE WORST OF IT.
ACCORDING TO FAMILY MEMBERS OF THE 85-YEAR-OLD COUPLE, THEY HAVE REQUESTED SLUGLORD CHASE TO MAKE REPAIRS FOR THE PAST TWENTY YEARS.
THE FAMILY REPORTS THAT, WITHIN THOSE PAST TWENTY YEARS, SLUGLORD CHASE HAS IGNORED THOSE REQUESTS AND HAS NOT MADE ONE SINGLE REQUESTED REPAIR.
