Dear Redvert, Thanks for the credit! This region is doing great as we compare to the rest of Ohio and even the Nation! Why did you know that we had the single largest manufacturing construction project in the country last year and a good part of this year? Our Democrat Congressman is superb. Our Mayors are doing wonderful jobs and it is all thanks to Democrats. I am glad you agree.
1. When the original charges were filed, the prosecutors had no knowledge of any FBI Tapes or evidence, they allegedly had enough evidence to proceed wit their charges and case.
2. In fact, they had nothing in the way of evidence that a crime had been committed. All persons are allowed to petition their government officials over their grievances, which is what the Cafaros did. This is a 1st Amendment right of all citizens. There was never a claim of money changing hands so no real crime was ever committed.
3. Paul Gains and his staff according to testimony and clearcut evidence stayed involved in the case after he publicly recused himself.
4. Today the hearing on the motion filed by Cafaro attorneys to show Paul Gains' misconduct, was supposed to begin. They had evidence that was clearcut that he had stayed involved after recusal, this would have caused the case to be dismissed and possibly caused Paul Gains to lose office and be disbarred.
5. Rather then have the prosecutor (Gains) found guilty and the charges totally dismissed by the judge for prosecutorial misconduct, the special prosecutor chose to use the recently discovered FBI tapes as an excuse to dismiss the charges.
6. This newspaper knows this and is refusing to report it this way because they were involved in the prosecutorial misconduct and the political vendetta being carried out against the defendants.
7. The real corruption in this case was on the side of the people doing the charging and the newspaper reporting the charges.

From the beginning this was just a 'political hit' in which the Vindicator helped with a cover-up. The 1st Amendment allows any of us, the Cafaros included, to 'petition' our government for redress of grievance. In simple terms, you are allowed to complain to any public official as much and as long as you want about anything, including business you are doing with the government. Unless the FBI has that party clearly using cash to bribe the public official, then no crime has been committed. Unfortunately, just the name Cafaro makes people think that their public officials are guilty of a crime when they are not guilty of anything but following the constitution. On top of all I have said above, what the special prosecutors did not want happening was for Paul Gains and his staff to have to testify on the stand as that would lead to Paul's disbarment at the least. Paul Gains was guiltier than these indivdiuals he tried to have 'hit' with false charges. Too bad the Vindicator was on the side of the real criminal, they obviously are not living up to their own name.
Well it is all well and good to say that critical thinking should be a priority. But when the state and federal government don't see it that way, when funding and academic excellence is not based on critical thinking, but passing 'the test', then it is downright foolish to work on anything else but the test. If you really believe what you are saying in the editorial, then write another saying let's stop making a test so improtant and go back to making thinking important. As long as the school systems are graded on a test, that's what will be taught, and nothing else.
