Less than the millions in EPA fines, less than a couple of the cabinet salaries, less than the land giveaways, and less than the mayor's travel and dining budget over the past few years. Democracy and elections aren't free. It is our civil right to have an election if we get the signatures. Katie, I think the recall is pretty straight forward. Democrats, Republicans, and Independents are supporting the recall. Your position is opposed to our Charter and our democratic rights.Warner Mendenhallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05776084935439728465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1709715062681399199.post-28673184103568702492009-03-16T12:25:00.000-04:002009-03-16T12:25:00.000-04:00Abe~Just like Honest Abe you got this one right. ...Abe~<BR/><BR/>Just like Honest Abe you got this one right. Warner has been planning this for years. It comes down to the following. If you want to see change in Akron that is fine but don't skirt the election process to do it. Wait for the next mayoral election and run. You know that you will never beat Mayor Don because of his accomplishments and the fact that you are completely unqualified. Don't give me the line that the Mayor cheated in the last race because you sound like a 1st grader on the playground. The key to winning is having a candidate that is worth voting for - you and Joe Finley are not that candidate. You are costing the taxpayers a lot of money with your petty fight. Not too mention the fact that you are making a good cover for the Republicans who are really behind this. You talk about the Mayor's sneaky tactics. How do you explain that one?Katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08661153274994528875noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1709715062681399199.post-86902835541877252942009-03-14T22:22:00.000-04:002009-03-14T22:22:00.000-04:00Who is Grumpy Abe?

What does he think that recall machinery is for? Oh, it costs too much, so we shouldn't use it. Well, I think that it makes sense, so I am going to sign it.<BR/><BR/>Robert M Kraus<BR/>Akron citizen for 88 yearsAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1709715062681399199.post-71979065099903416332009-03-14T11:21:00.000-04:002009-03-14T11:21:00.000-04:00Warner: Just so you know (as you put it), you sti...Warner: Just so you know (as you put it), you still have not addressed the question of how much your misguided slam at Plusquellic is costing the city (i.e, taxpayers) in a desperate national economy.

Joe had the guts to start telling the truth about Plusquellic's behavior a long time ago when he forced Joe Kidder to resign from the administration. Do you understand what Joe Kidder did? You have never condemned his behavior.Warner Mendenhallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05776084935439728465noreply@blogger.com
