"EVERY ROSE HAS IT'S THORN" poison

Well we were presented another 'Rose' when it came to Prairie State Energy Campus. Power promised at $48.00 MW no need to worry about price fluctuation. 99% complete turn key operation, no mention of something called Lively Grove. What could go wrong. The 'Thorn' nothing promised ever came true. Operating expenses, rates of $48.00, promised reliability. Painesville's officials will tell you they acted responsibly in this purchase agreement with AMP-OHIO.

Alright lets all agree to take them at your word. Now would it not be a responsible thing for our administration as well as city council to pass a resolution to send a letter to Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine to ask him to investigate the decisions and promises made on behalf of Painesville and 59 other Ohio communities by AMP-OHIO /Prairie State? I have asked Ward I Councilman Andy Flock to put a resolution for a letter to be sent on behalf of the city to the Ohio Attorney General. Now we have to hope it gets a 'second' and a positive vote? Or we could just sit on our hands and pray that the city can manage the expense this deal possible will cost us. 'Nothing ventured nothing gained." Unless Painesville has ties to AMP-OHIO we are not aware of?  I can see no objection to this letter being sent?
Will inform you what or if council decides to do if anything Monday night.

*********************************************************************************

Painesville Board of Education. Seems they have been sitting on Dr. Hanlon's modified contract for quite some time.
Let's be fair and give them the opportunity to be as they claimed to be to Painesville citizens . Show the TRANSPARENCY they claim to possess when it comes to  this modified contract. It can't be a secret Chardon's Board of Education even has a copy. What sane reason for Painesville taxpayer's not to view it also? You can even explain your reasoning for this contract at the same time. I see no reason why Dr. Hanlon would be opposed to this, Everything is above board and legal. Right? What's stopping you? Shame? Fear? What?
I guess we deserve an explanation how Dr. Hanlon can serve full time in Chardon and serve us here in Painesville 20 days a month also? As residents we are obligated to keep the BOE as well as Dr. Hanlon's feet to the fire and the contract honored. If changes are to be made produce them. Multi-tasking to a new level maybe?
Please to the Board of Education don't believe this will all go away.

Now here is an chance for Painesville residents to let their voices be heard. email your councilman, email the BOE let's see what shakes out?

Term, you seem like a reasonably smart guy.
All this contract does is allow Dr. Hanlon to retire from Painesville in December and then be able to double dip in Chardon.
Consider it an early Christmas present from our Board.
They did this under the radar never expecting to be caught.
Soon the Board will produce numbers how this all saved us money. Please be wise enough to see the truth.

The Board and Hanlon kept this under wraps until the levy passed. Simple as that. So this is where our levy money is going? Certainly not for our kids.

Galion numbers are showing the city electric reserve fund will be wiped out completely in 12 months once we have to pay for the MEIGS county fiasco and Prairie State.

I don't understand. Isn't all of this considered "public record"?
I was always told anyone can go there and do a record search on any employee. So why is it so hard for the News Herald to get the facts? Where are these documents? If this information is true, then why isn't it in the board minutes? I skimmed and scanned but didn't see anything in plain English or black & white that states the board approved all this. As an employee, the buzz about Dr Hanlon having both positions had been going on well before school let out. Guess it was more than a buzz.

You must be crazy. Soon you will see the problems your battle with the school board brings.
