The Suburbanite.. Not Fair or Balanced!!
The suburbanite continually published hate articals against our current trustee Vince Mealy before the election. I wrote a letter to Tamara Proctor of the suburbanite on the Nov. 24 with my concern how Bruce Killian voted down a measure to insure Lakemore Ohio would receive federal money to repair there crumbling infrastructure. She wrote back and said she will not publish any political pieces before the election. Three days later she printed a hate piece by Nora Rice supporting Bruce Killian and Nancy Rodriguez. Below you will find the actual email regarding this.

I wouild like to comment on the thanks but no thanks article. I feel Mrs. Funk has a great point. I have lived in Springfield for many years and have not even heard of Mr Killian untill he voted againt Lakemore getting the revitalization money with the Mayor of Akron. I am pretty sure there was six people who voted for Akron to take away the 33 million dollars from Lakemore residents and put a extra burden on the tax payers of Springfield township. How can a fiscal officer think thats fiscal. I am not saying Mr. Killian isnt a nice guy but you cant just keep giving to Akron..... from Jedd, to the revitalization project. Which now Lakemore`s sewers, water plant, roads are in shambles. Whats Next?..... does the Mayor of Akron need something else? My Votes and my familys will be for Vince Mealy and Debbie Davis. Keep up the great work! Larry Boso

This should concern people in the football comunity. Vince Mealy has done so much good with his support. He supported the youth football during the j-shack hearings and does keep all the stats every friday night for the high school.

There are 3 trustees and 2 seats were open (mealy & davis) Mealy should have been a shoe-in, he has done so much for this community as well as the sports. I would have loved to see the same trustees again, they have done an awesome job. In my opinion, the only reason Killian (Mr. Grinch) won is the "old" vote, he has been around for a long time & he preaches "fiscal responsibility", but he cares nothing about pleasing any of the residents. This was the most nauseating election result I seen. We can only hope that Young & Davis keep him in check;) Just watch a trustee meeting on tv & you will see what I mean!

Thats a shame.... hope he decides to run again... why the heck would people of voted him out?? he was looking to raise Springfield out of the same old same old ideas and had great ideas for the future and making Springfield attractive to buisness like our surrounding communities have, while we sat and rotted under trustees who did not want to be bothered with "big projects".. He also was all about developing our best geographical attraction.. Springfield Lake.. :shrug: :shrug: :shrug: Springfield voters make me wonder sometimes WTF!!

The suburbanite went right along with the bashing of Vince and the other trustees. Its going to be a great loss for our community. All of Killian's paper bashers were also against the levy s...

If i was Vince, I would ask for a recount. All the old people were being told major lies about him. A couple few of those ballots might be stuffed in a couple of them diaper depends.:stirthepot:
