THERE'S BIG PROFIT FOR PRIVATE INTERESTS IN MEDINA COUNTY "GOVERNMENT" IF YOU ARE ONE OF THE PRIVILEGED FEW MEMBERS OF THE GOOD OLD BOY NETWORK AND THE MEDINA MOB.
MEDINA BANK ONE BUILDING
BANK ONE, FORMERLY LOCATED AT 60 PUBLIC SQUARE, HAD CLOSED UP SHOP AND MOVED ON. MEDINA COUNTY THEREAFTER RENTED THE PREMISES AT 60 PUBLIC SQUARE AND PROVIDED THOSE QUARTERS TO "OHIO-MEANS-JOBS," A SUBSIDIARY OF MEDINA COUNTY JOBS AND FAMILY SERVICES.
AT A LATER DATE, MEDINA COUNTY PURCHASED THE OLD BANK ONE BUILDING AT 60 PUBLIC SQUARE.
COUPLE OF QUESTIONS IMMEDIATELY ARISE:
- HOW MUCH RENT DID MEDINA COUNTY PAY AND TO WHOM DID THEY PAY IT?
- FROM WHOM DID MEDINA COUNTY PURCHASE THE BUILDING AND HOW MUCH DID THEY PAY FOR IT?IS THE MEDINA COURTHOUSE REALLY TOO CROWDED AND DO WE REALLY NEED A NEW ONE AT AN EXORBITANT COST TO TAXPAYERS?
MEDINA'S FINE "PUBLIC SERVANTS," LED BY PROBATE JUDGE KEVIN DUMM, WHO ALREADY STANDS TO MAKE A BUNDLE FROM THE UNNECESSARY AND UNWANTED CASE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM AND WHO WILL UNDOUBTEDLY PROFIT HANDSOMELY FROM THE BUILDING OF THE PROPOSED NEW COURTHOUSE, HAVE DECLARED THE CURRENT COURTHOUSE IS JUST TOO SMALL AND TOO CROWDED.
BULLSHIT! HAVE YOU, THE READERS, EVER WITNESSED THE COURTHOUSE JAM-PACKED WITH PEOPLE? NEVER HAPPENED! THE PRESENT COURTHOUSE IS MORE THAN ADEQUATE TO MEET THE NEEDS OF THE CITIZENS OF MEDINA COUNTY, PARTICULARLY WITH CROOKED JUDGES LIKE "WEASELPECKER" COLLIER AND KEVIN DUMM WITH THEIR WORTHLESS FAT ASSES SEATED ON THE BENCH!
MEDINA PROSECUTOR MOVES OUT OF THE COURTHOUSE, MAKING PLENTY OF EXTRA ROOM!
FORREST THOMPSON, MEDINA COUNTY PROSECUTOR, HAS MOVED HIS ENTIRE OPERATION (FOR WANT OF A BETTER TERM) TO THE OLD BANK ONE BUILDING AT 60 PUBLIC SQUARE, MAKING PLENTY OF ROOM IN THE COURTHOUSE!
PROBLEM SOLVED . . . SORT OF!
GIVEN THAT MEDINA COUNTY PROSECUTOR FORREST THOMPSON HAS MOVED INTO 60 PUBLIC SQUARE, HE HAS DISPLACED THE WORKFORCE OF THE MEDINA JOBS AND FAMILY SERVICES' AFFILIATE PROGRAM "OHIO-MEANS-JOBS." WHAT TO DO WITH THOSE COUNTY EMPLOYEES?
AS IT TURNS OUT, "OHIO-MEANS-JOBS" WORKFORCE HAS BEEN MOVED PERMANENTLY INTO THE COURTHOUSE. HOW ABOUT THEM APPLES. THEY CLAIM THERE IS NOT ENOUGH ROOM TO CONDUCT COURT BUSINESS IN THE COURTHOUSE WHILE, AT THE SAME TIME, PERMANENTLY PLACING THE WORKFORCE OF THE MEDINA COUNTY "OHIO-MEANS-JOBS" INTO THE ALLEGEDLY OVERCROWDED BUILDING.
YOU CAN BET JUDGE DUMM AND THE COUNTY COMMISSIONERS, PARTICULARLY BULLSHIT ARTIST BILL HUTSON, HAVE BEEN TRYING TO SELL THE PUBLIC A BILL OF GOODS!
WHAT ABOUT THE $3 MILLION TAXPAYER DOLLARS THEY INTEND TO PISS AWAY ON "TEMPORARY"COURT QUARTERS?
JUDGE DUMM AND THE COUNTY COMMISSIONERS HAVE BEEN NOTICEABLY SILENT ON THE ISSUE OF TEMPORARY QUARTERS FOR THE MEDINA COUNTY COURT FUNCTIONS DURING THE CONSTRUCTION OF THIS PROPOSED PINK ELEPHANT.
HERE'S THE SCOOP ON THAT ISSUE!
ACCORDING TO INFORMED SOURCES, VARIOUS COURT PERSONNEL ARE EXPECTED TO BE DISPLACED FROM THE OLD COURTHOUSE FOR AN ESTIMATED 3 YEARS WHILE CONSTRUCTION IS ONGOING AT THE MEDINA COUNTY PINK ELEPHANT.
A DECISION HAS BEEN MADE TO RELOCATE THOSE FUNCTIONS AND PERSONNEL TO THE OLD LITCHFIELD ELEMENTARY SCHOOL FOR THREE YEARS AT A REPORTED COST TO TAXPAYERS IN THE AMOUNT OF $3 MILLION!
YOU CAN BET THERE IS SOMETHING GOING ON IN THE BACKGROUND TO ENRICH SOMEBODY WITH CLOUT.
THE LITCHFIELD ELEMENTARY SCHOOL WAS SOLD TO A PRIVATE CITIZEN TO THE TUNE OF $150,000.00. ALL OF A SUDDEN, THAT BUILDING IS NO WORTH A COOL $3 MILLION. THE BLOGGER WOULD SURE LIKE TO KNOW THE IDENTITIES OF THE SILENT PARTNERS IN THE ORIGINAL SALE OF THE BUILDING, LIKELY NOT AN ARMS-LENGTH SALE.
AN HONEST GOVERNMENT WOUD NOT BE TAKING TAXPAYERS TO THE CLEANERS WITH A NEEDLESS EXPENDITURE OF $3 MILLION. IF THE COUNTY TRULY NEEDS THE OLD LITCHFIELD ELEMENTARY,THEY SOULD HAVE TAKEN CUSTODY OF THE BUILDING BY EXERCISING EMINENT DOMAIN AND PAYING THE CURRENT OWNER FAIR MARKET VALUE FOR THE PROPERTY, WHICH WOULD SEEM TO BE $150,000.00.
THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE UNNEEDED MEDINA COUNTY PROPOSED COURTHOUSE NEEDS TO BE PUT ON THE BALLOT AND DECIDED BY VOTERS RATHER THAN BY "PUBLIC SERVANTS" SEEKING TO LINE THEIR OWN POCKETS WITH TAXPAYERS' MONEY.
