Pickerington Area Taxpayers Alliance

Reade's shadow government and finances are still under investigation according several media sources.

The posting about thefts from volunteer organizations should give us all a wake up call. Who knows if the Friends or the CommUNITY group will be next.

SAME OLD TIRED BS!!!

it's amazing how some postings are timed. It seems Mark and friends are pretty predictable!

Facts?

Can you site specifically which media is reporting continued investigation (or any investigation) of the finances or other aspects of either the community first, or friends of the library group?

Do you know the nature of those investigations? (Specifically what they are looking for)

How do you rationalize associating a newspaper article about an increase in theft from organizations that have no affiliation with any of those you note here as a ''wake - up call'' for those who support this particular school board candidate? That's quite a stretch.

As with many prior postings regarding Lisa Reade, this one seems to be mostly unsupported accusations, and questionable ''guilt by association'' suggestions...Do you believe she will try to set up ''shadow school boards''? Do you think that, as a single school board member, she would be in a position to initiate, or facilitate theft from district funds?

Again, I am not a particular supporter of Lisa Reade, but the only reason I can think of to personally attack her on these issues is a fear that, if elected, she will cause so much harm to your cause that you are willing to engage in this effort.

That leads me to wonder, what is your agenda that would be so threatened by someone like Lisa Reade?

An honest response might be:

''I'm an enthusiastic athletic booster who believes she doesn't understand how important these activities are''

or

''I make my living either from development, or I own a business that has more potential if we add as many residents as possible''

or

''I work for the city of Pickerington, or I am a supporter of the direction of the council and I don?’t want someone on the school board who will make trouble for that effort''

I respect any of those positions...I just wish everyone would stand up and actually say what they think instead of this kind of..well, crap! I doubt it will happen...instead you will conceal your true agenda and manufacture reasons to oppose those who don?’t agree with your position. Surprise me?…respond honestly and not anonymously.

I agree, Gary Johnson

Gary,

I agree 100%. I wish the mud-slinging by unknown sources would stop. The personal attacks on Reade, Raymond & Sigman were all inappropriate.

Let's keep it positive and professional ...
