For those of you who want to hear about the budget, the Finance Committee will meet sometime after 6:15 tomorrow.
I can’t give you an exact time, because the meeting will start immediately after the Planning Committee, which starts at 6. Before getting to the budget, the Finance Committee will discuss eight other items. Realistically, you’re probably OK if you arrive at 7, but you also might not get a seat, because I have heard that the mayor is trying to jam the council chambers with her people.
Other notes…
– In today’s Stow Sentry, Mike Lesko did a nice job breaking down the numbers of Fox Den in his article.
It has been 10 days since I challenged the Good Ole Boy Network to give me a single benefit that Stow residents get from having the course owned by the government, rather than a private owner. I know of some illegitimate benefits, such as their friends maintaining cushy jobs with public pensions, but I have not heard anything that helps the average Stow resident.
I will continue to count the days until we pass an ordinance seeking bids from a private party wishing to lease or buy the course.
– It is looking good for Ron Marhofer to keep his Chevrolet dealership at the corner of 59 and 91. This is great news. The dealership has been in the family since 1919. Congressman Steve LaTourette worked hard to overcome Barack Obama’s “car czar,” who pressed to close Marhofer Chevrolet. Here is a Beacon Journal story about it.
– This week was the second-highest total of Web traffic since I started this site in July. Election week was the only seven-day span that surpassed this one. It encourages me even more to read everyone’s positive e-mails. As a result, I will try to remember to post one per week on the site. Here is the first.
Thank you for standing up to city council regarding selling Fox Den Golf Course. The city never should have purchased it to begin with. Not one person I have talked to in this city feels the city should have purchased it and totally agree with you that if it is between selling it or raising taxes what is there to think about? This city has made very poor choices the past several years and now you want the taxpayer to bail you out. Well, we don’t have the extra money anymore. The mayor of this city has to start being held accountable for all her boneheaded decisions.
Thank you for standing up for us – FOX DEN SHOULD BE SOLD.
