DISPATCH VOTER's GUIDE READERS

READ THIS for a FULL comprehensive statement as to why to VOTE NO ON ISSUE 32 !!!

VOTE NO on ISSUE 32
Whitehall Council Member Thompson should be recalled from office:

- Willful and blatant violation of Whitehall City Charter, Section 8 . . . “The Council shall have legislative powers only and not perform administrative duties”. Councilperson Thompson consistently involves herself in administrative processes of the City.
- Commission of Acts wholly beyond Councilperson Thompson’s official duties:
Procured the firing of a constituent from her job because the constituent spoke out against Councilperson Thompson’s legislation.
Unsuccessfully attempted the procurement of at least 4 other persons jobs
Attempted to negatively influence the administration of a local business where a taxpayer was working because the taxpayer spoke out against Councilperson Thompson’s legislation.
- Harassment of City Employees.
- Consistently disrupts City Council meetings.
- Placing the City of Whitehall in precarious legal positions by willfully and blatantly disregarding opinions and advice from the City Attorney.
- Nonfeasance – Failure to perform required duty.
On 08/04/2009, Councilperson Thompson willfully chose not to fulfill her duties as member of Whitehall City Council. She arrived tardy to a meeting and chose to sit in the audience rather than working with other city council members as they performed their legislative duties.
- Promotes a decidedly unfriendly atmosphere to hamper creation and expansion of new business development within the City of Whitehall.
- Promotes a decidedly unfriendly atmosphere to hamper home purchases and sales in the City of Whitehall causing negative effects on property values
Contrary to the multitude of attempts made by Council Member Thompson to “change the message” of the RECALL, it is NOT about pit bulls. This is merely a political ploy, last ditch effort on Council Member Thompson’s part to try to hoodwink the good citizens of Whitehall into believing her lies.
FACT- there is NO mention of any pets on the RECALL petition
FACT-the laws of Whitehall are ignored by Council Member Thompson when they do not “suit her needs”. She has an upcoming TRIAL BY JURY in Franklin County on Tuesday October 20. WHY? Because though the Whitehall Ordinance 505.13 permits NO MORE THAN 3 dogs, Council Member Thompson had 5 dogs registered in 2008 and 4 in 2009. That’s 2 years alone that she has been in violation of the law.
FACT- Council Member Thompson wanted to change this ordinance to benefit herself by suggesting that someone with lap dogs be allowed by weight of dog to equal someone’s Great Dane!
See “How Many Chihuahuas = 1 Great Dane?” on www.youtube.com/cjot1
FACT- The “quote” used by Council Member Thompson regarding Dr. Mandi and HelpFido are in FACT an example of how Council Member Thompson twists words that she cuts and pastes to try to spin her way. This quote was in FACT from JULY 1, 2008 when Dr. Mandi was expressing the irony that Council Member Thompson wants to copy Bexley and Reynoldsburg in one moment but the moment before Council Member Thompson was saying that NO ONE BUT WHITEHALL RESIDENTS should have any say in what goes on in our city, and that everyone else is an “OUTSIDER”. Interesting how Council Member Thompson twisted THAT around.
FACT- Council Member Thompson tried to “negatively affect” Dr. Mandi’s livelihood by calling the animal clinic that employs her and stating that if they did not “do something” she would organize “her friends” to boycott the business.
FACT- Not only did Council Member Thompson OPPOSE the SCHOOL LEVY, she also wrote to the School Superintendent to “chastise” her for having a veterinarian speak at a school assembly to educate children on their pets…A YEAR AFTER THE ASSEMBLY!
FACT- Council Member Thompson attempted to overshadow President’s Day with “Darwin Day” and take away from the celebration of African American Heritage Month by naming it “Science Month”. When asked by Council if she knew what else was celebrated at that time, she said no.
--It’s this kind of negative behavior, continual circumvention of rules and law and the plethora of lies from Council Member Thompson that the good citizens of Whitehall are done with!
This IS about the dirty politics OF COUNCIL MEMBER THOMPSON.
VOTE NO on ISSUE 32
PER THE WHITEHALL CHARTER- THE QUESTION MUST BE POSED AS
