The Akron Beacon Journal is not on board with selling the golf course, or so an editorial in today’s paper suggests.
The story says the course had $1.4 million in revenue last year. And it leaves it at that.
See? This is the kind of deception that the Good Ole Boy Network has perpetuated for years. Rather than accurately stating that the golf course was NOT PROFITABLE, or at least stating the expenditures, Sara Drew only provided its revenue.
As a consequence, the Beacon Journal reported the number, and people assumed the golf course is profitable.
This deception was present during the entire election. It was even present during the mayor’s State of the City address, when she explicitly said the course was profitable. That is a bold-faced lie. No other way to describe it.
So use that background when you consider this editorial. I intend to reach out to the Editorial Board and provide the entire picture, rather than just the number that Sara Drew and the mayor want them to know.
By the way, it has been five days since I reached out to anyone who could answer my question: What benefit does the community of Stow receive by Fox Den being owned by the government, rather than a private individual/corporation.
I received my first response.

Unfortunately, this is an anonymous personal attack and not a serious answer to my question. So my quest for an answer presses on. Five days and counting.
