Keep trying Brian II

You?’re welcome Bruce & thanks for your efforts with these needed recalls.
I promised more so here we go.

?“Well basically ?….?” are the first words that emanate from Councilman Brian Fox?’s mouth when he is put into a position of defending himself. This is usually followed by something of a pregnant pause and then words ?…. ?“The fact is ---------?” what follows is then Brian?’s attempts to lamely justify something he has done, voted on, or expressed his seldom heard opinion in public.


Being a veteran of some years in attending Pickerington City Council meetings I can knowledgably attest to these basic ?“Brian-isms?”. I can also attest to the truth that the real facts and details never flow following his utterance of ?“The fact is?….?”

?“ Well basically since the 4/2/03 Pickerington Times ?– Sun has a ?“Fox Speaks?” section on page two I believe it is time for that papers readers and the viewers of this website to learn the TRUTH over the ?“Brian-isms.?”

4. Fox said his voting record shows that he has always been a proponent of slow growth.

Truth over Brian?’s fact is - Mr. Fox voted in favor of EVERY ONE of the 2000+ lots slammed through this City Council last September.

5. ?“These folks will tell you it?’s all about growth ?…. That?’s just a bunch of bull?… it?’s a political smear job,?” Fox said.

Truth over Brian?’s fact is - Brian takes offense at anyone looking at his voting record and proving that he is not a man of his word.

6. He (Fox) said a $7,000.00 for a special election, ?“it?’s just a waste of
taxpayer dollars and the people pushing this don?’t even live in the city, they live in the township.?”

Truth over Brian?’s fact(s) is (are) - What else has Mr. Fox and his fellow elected officials considered ?‘reasonable?’ $7,000.00 or greater expenses:

a. Would it gall you to know that the City paid over $15,000 for a float to ride around in during local parades? - TWICE AS MUCH
b. Would you cringe just a little knowing that the city funded an initiative to defeat Senate Bill 5 (the fair annexation law) to the tune of nearly $150,000? - TWENTY ONE & A HALF TIMES AS MUCH
c. Would you scratch your head if you knew that you had paid $700,000 to build a road that dead ends into NOTHING? - ONE HUNDRED TIMES AS MUCH
d. Would you be a little uncomfortable with the thought of paying another $1.5 million than had been budgeted for the new police station? - TWO HUNDRED & FOURTEEN TIMES AS MUCH

Truth over Brian?’s fact(s) is (are) ?– { regarding residency } Three of the four Committee Members sponsoring this petition live in the City of Pickerington. All City residents are also Township residents.
