Face facts, Mangini was a bad hire. With his secret agent personna, his penchant for wanting to remake Cleveland as New York Jets west, Lerner was duped into hiring this guy..........cut your losses immediately. There is no happy ending waiting in the wings with this guy treating adults like children....
er umm the Blitz says Mooney lost 12 to nil. That is strange because I was at game and the score was Mooney 28 to Watterson 12. Mooney ran at to a lead and took its foot off pedal. Come on the Blitz, peopl from all around state are tuining in and being misinformed.
Old Henry Guzman, one of the great bureaucratic infighters of all time, finally got what he had coming all along. He was less about good government and more about enforcing loyalty to King Henry's way, the public's well being be damned. In this instance he was caught red handed delaying implementation of a new regulation that would have ended this practice whereby the Ohio system was used to register vehicles. He was done in by the same tactics he had used against others on countless occasions.............like when he recently leaked information against the Patrol leadership for buying meals from an account to the tune of $30. If his name were Smith or Jones he would be flipping burgers at Wendy's, another poor hire by Strickland.
This conviction was a waste of federal resources by people with a vendetta against Big Jim. He fought for the people as much as anyone. He did possess some crudish ways but his offenses were nothing compared to what those other pukes do regularly. Ket him blend in to society at his own pace and wish him well. GO PENGUINS!
Henry had to go, Ytown ties or not. He was so bent on enforcing his sense of control of this massive department that good governance was lost. He forced out the BMV registrar in a power play and was moving on the patrol chieftain. he lost sight of the purpose of his job and deserved what he got. Now if Strickland will show the same door to a few other idiots like the nincompoop pulling the same tricks at the Department of Commerce, all will be well.........GO MOONEY!!
Pathetic performance by all concerned. GOV painted himself into a corner on taxes and is paying a price. Meanwhile the entrenched Senate Repubs are playing games with the state's future. Ball is in Repub court to propose solutions. Here is betting they don't and we go to interim budgets. Few can feel proud. This probably cooks the Dems' goose in 2010. I bet then Strickland will regret not trying to be more responsible with his opp to lead.........PS: you want to watch a rat crawl into a hole, watch Kasich duck every chance to weigh in.......
To rebut the last ignorant remarks from djmck616, miserable Repub governance paved the way for Dem gains state and nationally. Sixteen years in Ohio of misguided priorities sunk Ohio and the Strickland agenda. I will concede it may well cost Strickland in 2010 as the natives have every reason to be restless. d-616 and his ilk would have mored street cred had they not been perfectly content to sit idly by while Bush and Cheney drove the buggy off a cliff in all aspects of our well being. The youth of our country , already tuned out by the Repub noise machine, will not respond to name calling "marxist gunk" that has no basis in fact in their lives....Good grief, grow up....
All of Marc's wounds were self inflicted. The office did go to his head, "I can hire anyone I want to, even if they are scum." Marc forgot what he himself had said about the repubs and Taft on his way to the top, "Incompetent or Liars." In the end, by hiring bozos, he proved incompetent. I still believe that he should have gone to court to challenge the extraordinary authority conferred upon the inspector general, a nice man with his own agenda items, and fought for his office: LET THE VOTERS DECIDE HIS FATE. In the end, Marc panicked and chose to flee, when his chasers would never show him any mercy no matter. I respect Bentley's continued loyalty to Marc Dann. No one is in a position to speak to the private and personal matter but them. Many families stand loyal, look at the Clintons/no one is perfect. (How many Notre Damers who railed against Obama this past week have cheated on their wives.famlies? What is sad is that Marc had a set of priorities he was fighting for that would help a vastly larger number of Ohioans. From out of office, he cannot continue that fight. If only he could have kept his own ego in check and been more selective and selfish about his own fortunes in his hiring. But no, he had to bring in the goon squad or a chief of staff with no clue as to where the Statehouse restrooms were located (but who was to be the eyes and ears of the spouse......... not a good reason to hire a chum when your political future hangs in the balance). As for Bertram, he tips his hand in every matter. He is not objective. He is willing to stretch his version of the truth to support his agenda EVERY time. It is a good thing he caught on with the VINDY, otherwise he would be selling insurance or flipping burgers. Either way, Marc brought this on himself. Let us wish him well in the next chapter of his life.
Betras is a bright, intelligent attorney whose success in the legal field has removed him from conversations with the rank &file of the party or the community. He has the attention span of a fly. They might have to come up with a provision where he can communicate with people without looking them in the eye so he can continue to text uninterrupted...........I still haven't seen where Lisa is resigning the post yet.
