RECENT DEVELOPMENTS IN QUESTIONABLE REAL ESTATE TRANSACTIONS IN MEDINA COUNTY, SPECIFICALLY LAFAYETTE TOWNSHIP, INCREASINGLY POINT TO THE HOMICIDE OF LAFAYETTE TOWNSHIP TRUSTEE BRYON MACRON.
NOW, THE BLOGGER UNDERSTANDS THE MEDINA COUNTY SHERIFF IS RELUCTANT TO MAKE A DECISION AS TO THE MANNER OF MR. MACRON'S
SUSPICIOUS DEATH.
THE MEDINA COUNTY SHERIFF AND HIS
DEFECTIVES ARE PROCEEDING ON THE WORKING THEORY THAT MR. MACRON, WHILE WORKING IN HIS TOWNSHIP OFFICE, SUSTAINED A NUMBER OF
SEVERE PAPER CUTS, LEADING TO THE DEPOSIT OF HIS BLOOD IN HIS OFFICE. MR. MACRON THEN APPARENTLY DROVE HIS SUV FROM THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE TO CHIPPEWA LAKE, AS THE THEORY GOES, TO CLEAN UP. WHILE AT THE LAKE, MR. MACRON APPARENTLY DECIDED, ON THE SPUR OF THE MOMENT, TO DIVE INTO THE WATER TO CONDUCT A
FISH COUNT FOR THE OHIO DNR!
THIS IS BUT ONE WAY TO WHITEWASH THE
HOMICIDE OF MR. MACRON.
48 HOURS HAVE LONG AGO ELAPSED SINCE THE HOMICIDE OF LAFAYETTE TOWNSHIP TRUSTEE BRYON MACRON
FOR SEVERAL YEARS, A REALITY CRIME SHOW ENTITLED "48 HOURS" HAS AIRED ON CABLE AND SATELLITE TELEVISION. THE PROGRAM DOCUMENTS THE EFFORTS OF REAL HOMICIDE INVESTIGATORS INVESTIGATING HOMICIDES IN VARIOUS CITIES WITHIN THE UNITED STATES. THE MANTRA OF ALL OF THESE REAL HOMICIDE INVESTIGATORS IS THAT THE CHANCES OF SOLVING A HOMICIDE DECREASE EXPONENTIALLY IF NOT SOLVED WITHIN THE FIRST 48 HOURS OF THE MURDER.
COMPARE THE DRIVING FORCES OF REAL HOMICIDE INVESTIGATORS WITH THE CONDUCT OF MEDINA COUNTY SHERIFF'S DEFECTIVES WHO ARE STILL FLOUNDERING IN THE DARK TRYING TO DETERMINE WHETHER MR. MACRON WAS THE VICTIM OF HOMICIDE.
PERHAPS MEDINA COUNTY SHERIFF'S DEFECTIVES HOPE FOR A RESOLUTION OF THIS CASE IN THE FIRST 48 MONTHS, IF EVER,
INNOVATION PARK, ALSO KNOWN AS MEDINA'S ALBATROSS, AND THE RELATED PUBLIC CORRUPTION SURROUNDING IT, PROVIDE MORE THAN REASONABLE BASIS TO CAUSE THE DEATH OF BRYON MACRON WHERE BIG MONEY IS INVOLVED.
READERS BEWARE! YOU JUST CAN'T MAKE THIS UP, EVEN IN YOUR WILDEST IMAGINATION!
INNOVATION PARK, APPARENTLY SPEARHEADED BY BETHANY DENTLER'S, EITHER THROUGH MEDINA COUNTY DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION OR THE MEDINA COUNTY PORT AUTHORITY, OR BOTH, HAS BEEN NO MORE THAN A COLOSSAL FLOP AND MONEY PIT.
WITHIN THE PAST 15 YEARS, THIS "COMMERCIALLY DEVELOPED" 60-ACRE PARCEL HAS FAILED TO ATTRACT ONE SINGLE COMMERCIAL PROJECT - NO DEVELOPMENT, NO JOBS, NO INCREASE IN THE TAX BASE. IN OTHER WORDS, INNOVATION PARK WAS NO MORE THAN AN INNOVATIVE WAY TO PISS AWAY PUBLIC MONIES!
RIGHT OFF THE BAT, THE BLOGGER HAS POINTED TO THE FIRST MAJOR FAILING.
INNOVATION PARK, ALTHOUGH PROMOTED AS "COMMERCIALLY DEVELOPED," IS NOT.
THE EXISTING INFRASTRUCTURE, SUCH AS IT IS, WILL NOT SUPPORT ANY COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT ACCORDING TO AN INFORMED SOURCE!
ACCORDING TO THE SOURCE, THE GENIUS WHO AUTHORIZED AND APPROVED THE "PLANS" FOR THIS "COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT" ALLOWED THE INSTALLATION OF A WOEFULLY INADEQUATE 8" SEWER PIPELINE TO NOWHERE! THE EXITING SEWER LINE IS INSUFFICIENT TO SERVICE MORE THAN 2 RESIDENTIAL DWELLINGS, MUCH LESS THAN A COMMERCIALLY DEVELOPED CONSTITUENCY.
MOREOVER, THE SINGLE 8" SEWER LINE IS NOT HOOKED UP TO ANY REASONABLY SIZED MAIN SEWER LINE THAT WOULD CARRY ANY SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF EFFLUENT ANYWHERE. TWO TOILET FLUSHES AND THE "SEWER" IS FULL AND NON-FUNCTIONAL!
EVEN MORE, THE 8" SINGLE SEWER LINE WAS LAID IN SUCH A MANNER AS TO PREVENT ANY DEVELOPMENT OR BUILDING ON THE SO-CALLED "IMPROVED" LOTS, ACCORDING TO THE SOURCE.
THESE DEFICIENCIES, ALONE, SMACK OF GRAFT AND KICKBACKS! THE DEVIATION FROM STANDARD AND ACCEPTABLE BUILDING PRACTISES IS NOTHING SHORT OF "PISS-POOR"(PARDON THE PUN)!
MEDINA COUNTY GAVE AWAY A PORTION OF MEDINA'S ALBATROSS TO AKRON UNIVERSITY TO CREATE THE FALSE IMPRESSION OF "PROGRESS" WHERE THERE HAS BEEN NONE
BETHANY DENTLER, THE DE FACTO "MAYOR" OF MEDINA COUNTY, AND THE MEDINA COUNTY DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION GAVE AWAY A CHUNK OF THE PROPERTY AT INNOVATION PARK (DENTLER'S ALBATROSS) TO THE AKRON UNIVERSITY FOR A SATELLITE CAMPUS, AT NO COST. FORTUNATELY, THE UNIVERSITY LAID ITS OWN APPROPRIATELY SIZED SEWER LINE AND HOOKED UP TO A MAIN SEWER LINE.
THE NET RESULT IN BENEFITS TO COUNTY COFFERS AS A RESULT OF THIS GIVEAWAY IS $0.00.
THE COST TO THE COUNTY OF THE ENTIRE LAND PARCEL IS UNKNOWN SINCE IT IS REPORTED THAT THOSE RECORDS DOCUMENTING THE COST HAVE DISAPPEARED, A USUAL AND CUSTOMARY PRACTICE FOUND IN MEDINA COUNTY "GOVERNMENT."
DENTLER AND THE MEDINA COUNTY ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION "GAVE" AWAY 8 ACRES IN DENTLER'S ALBATROSS TO LAFAYETTE TOWNSHIP FOR A FIRE DEPARTMENT BUILDING
HERE IS WHERE THE PLOT THICKENS!
THE MEDINA COUNTY PORT AUTHORITY ENGAGED A REALTY COMPANY TO SELL THE 60 ACRES, PLUS OR MINUS, THAT CURRENTLY CONSTITUTE INNOVATION PARK (MEDINA'S ALBATROSS)! WHAT IS THE ASKING PRICE, READERS MAY ASK. THE ANSWER IS, NO COST. THAT'S RIGHT, THE MEDINA COUNTY PORT AUTHORITY, ACTING ON BEHALF OF MEDINA COUNTY GOVERNMENT, IS GIVING AWAY 60 ACRES OF LAND FOR FREE! THE BLOGGER IS NOT QUITE SURE HOW GIVING AWAY 60 ACRES OF COUNTY LAND FOR FREE CAN BE RECOGNIZED AS SOUND FISCAL MANAGEMENT BY MEDINA COUNTY COMMISSIONERS. AFTER ALL, THEY ARE JUST TAXPAYER DOLLARS, PLENTY MORE WHERE THEY CAME FROM, GOES THE THINKING!
THE SELLER'S AGREEMENT EXECUTED BETWEEN THE MEDINA COUNTY ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION AND SVN REALTY, EXCERPTED IN A PRIOR POST AT THIS BLOG, IS INTERESTING.
FIRSTLY, IT IS REPORTED THAT THE SELLER'S AGREEMENT BARS THE "SALE" AND TRANSFER OF MEDINA'S ALBATROSS TO ANY MUNICIPALITY.
WHEN THE MEDINA COUNTY DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION CEDED 8 ACRES LOCATED WITHIN MEDINA'S ALBATROSS TO LAFAYETTE TOWNSHIP FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF NEW LAFAYETTE TOWNSHIP FIRE STATION, THAT "GIFT" BREACHED THE SELLER'S AGREEMENT.
ANOTHER INTERESTING FEATURE OF THE SELLER'S AGREEMENT INCLUDES THE FACT THAT THE BREACH OF THE SELLER'S AGREEMENT, WHERE THE TRANSFER OF MEDINA'S ALBATROSS OR ANY PORTION THEREOF IS ACCOMPLISHED WITHOUT THE DIRECT INVOLVEMENT OF THE REALTOR, MEDINA COUNTY IS BOUND, BY TERMS OF THE CONTRACT, TO COMPENSATE SVN REALTY IN THE AMOUNT OF $10,000.
IN THE FINAL ANALYSIS, THE SELLER'S AGREEMENT EXECUTED BY BETHANY DENTLER'S MEDINA COUNTY PORT AUTHORITY, REQUIRES TAXPAYERS TO PAY $10,000 TO SVN REALTY WHERE MEDINA COUNTY IS GIVING AWAY, AT NOT COST, 8 ACRES OF COUNTY-OWED LAND TO LAFAYETTE TOWNSHIP! WOW! ISN'T THAT AMAZING?
ONLY INSIDERS CAN GET IN ON ANY OF THAT ACTION!
THE "GIFT" OF 8 ACRES OF MEDINA'S ALBATROSS TO LAFAYETTE TOWNSHIP COMES WITH SOME VERY EXPENSIVE STRINGS ATTACHED, WHICH, BEST GUESS, APPARENTLY THE LATE TOWNSHIP TRUSTEE BRYON MACRON CAME TO REALIZE.
THE "FREE" 8 ACRES OF MEDINA'S ALBATROSS WAS NOT SO MAGNANIMOUS AS IT MAY APPEAR AT FIRST BLUSH.
LET'S EXAMINE THE FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS TO LAFAYETTE TOWNSHIP AND THE TOWNSHIP'S RESIDENTS.
FIRST, YOU HAVE THE INITIAL COST OF ERECTING A NEW FIRE STATION, NO SMALL SUM, TO BE FOLLOWED BY THE CONSTRUCTION OF A NEW TOWNSHIP HALL ON THE SAME PROPERTY (AS IF THE CURRENT TOWNSHIP HALL IS INADEQUATE). OF COURSE, RESIDENTS HAVE NO INPUT HERE AND CAN RELY ONLY ON THEIR ELECTED REPRESENTATIVES - MINUS BRYON MACRON. THEN TACK ON THE 8% CONSTRUCTION SURCHARGE THAT GOES TO "JERRY" THE INSIDER BROKER.
AS A MATTER OF GENERAL INTEREST, IT HAS BEEN REPORTED THAT THE LOT DESIGNATED FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE PROPOSED LAFAYETTE FIRE DEPARTMENT IS A WETLAND, AN UNBUILDABLE LOT!
THE COSTS, HOWEVER, DON'T END THERE. GIVEN THE FACT THAT THERE IS VIRTUALLY NO FUNCTIONAL INFRASTRUCTURE, LAFAYETTE VILLAGE WILL BE REQUIRED TO SPEND MILLIONS TO ADD UTILITIES, PARTICULARLY SEWER, TO BRING THE PROPERTY TO CODE.
BUT WAIT. THE COSTS DON'T END THERE! LAFAYETTE TOWNSHIP WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR CONSTRUCTING A SEWAGE LIFT STATION AT A COST OF $10 TO $20 MILLION DOLLARS.
DON'T YOU, THE READERS, BELIEVE THAT MR. MACRON, BY ALL APPEARANCES AN HONEST GUY, MIGHT OBJECT TO SUCH EXTRAVAGANT EXPENDITURES OF TOWNSHIP RESOURCES?
THERE IS EVEN MORE TO THIS SORDID TALE!
READERS MAY AT FIRST QUESTION WHY LAFAYETTE TOWNSHIP WOULD WANT TO CONSTRUCT A FIRE STATION WITHIN MEDINA'S ALBATROSS, ESSENTIALLY OUT IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE!
THERE MAY VERY WELL BE A REASONABLE ANSWER TO THAT QUESTION, AS WELL. THE BLOGGER HAS RECEIVED INFORMATION THAT A PUBLIC OFFICIAL OWNS A SUBSTANTIAL TRACT OF AGRICULTURAL LAND LOCATED REASONABLY NEAR, PERHAPS ACROSS THE STREET FROM MEDINA'S ALBATROSS.
THE CONSTRUCTION OF A FIRE STATION AND IMPROVED SEWER SYSTEM WOULD SEEM TO INCREASE THE VALUE OF THE PUBLIC OFFICIAL'S AGRICULTURAL PROPERTY SIGNIFICANTLY, MAKING IT A DESIRABLE LOCATION FOR RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT.
ALL OF THESE MACHINATIONS WOULD SEEM TO IMPUTE A CONFLICT OF INTEREST BY ANY ELECTED PUBLIC OFFICIAL WHO MIGHT URGE AD INFLUENCE THE EXPENDITURE OF PUBLIC MONIES FOR PERSONAL GAIN!
THE BLOGGER ASKS READERS TO PRESUPPOSE, FOR A MOMENT, THAT THE LATE TOWNSHIP TRUSTEE BRYON MACRON INDEPENDENTLY DEVELOPED THESE FACTS AND WAS PREPARED TO OBJECT AND BLOCK THE INTENTION OF OTHERS TO BUILD THE NEW LAFAYETTE TOWNSHIP FIRE STATION ON THE GROUNDS OF INNOVATION PARK (MEDINA'S ALBATROSS) INVOLVING THE EXPENDITURE OF MILLIONS OF TAXPAYER DOLLARS.
IS IT POSSIBLE THAT MR. MACRON BROUGHT HIS CONCERNS TO FORMER MEDINA COUNTY PROSECUTOR DINO HOE-MAN? IF SO, THAT SHOULD CERTAINLY RAISE SOME EYEBROWS AND WARRANT MORE THAN A FEW QUESTIONS!
WOULD THE POTENTIAL LOSS OF SO MUCH MONEY BY ANY NUMBER OF AFFECTED PERSONS, INCLUDING CONTRACTORS, PROVIDE MOTIVATION TO MURDER THE LATE BRYON MACRON?
THE BLOGGER THINKS SO!
