Lock Down

I had to put the blog on temporary lock down. It is open again, but comments will be viewed by me before posted. Pornographic, defamatory comments will NOT be posted. I have also added a "gadget" to track computers that send this trash - which is a "federal offense to send obscenities" in any format. It's a shame that the rantings of a poor sport started the trash talk, then went on to add Amber Mylam. who posted as "a" and was "found out" because she bragged what she did on some one's FACEBOOK page. Also "found out" was "tthomas" who bragged on the same FACEBOOK page to Amber about "how evil they are"--Chelsea Wright Bishop. Note to the Amber's and Chelsea's of the world, there have been several news shows lately trying to make people understand that when you post on these sites, future job prospects DO look you up on the web sites - FACEBOOK included and people have lost their "dream job" because of something stupid they said on the Internet.
Although I have gone through and "deleted" the "a" and "tthomas" comments, I cut and pasted them so if they are "needed" at a later date for legal purposes, they are saved in many locations. I have also sent the comments and the names of the "posters" to the people in City Hall who were attacked by these 2.

75% !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

By a vote of 3 to 1 ............... Jackie WE THE PEOPLE have booted you from office! Your "silent majority" as you so often referred to...either forgot to vote or hmmmm wanted YOU GONE TOO!!!

THE PEOPLE OF WHITEHALL HAVE SPOKEN!!!!!

YOU -JACKIE-----will NEVER EVER EVER do to ANYONE what YOU DID TO JANIECE MILLER again!!! NEVER NEVER NEVER!

For comedy relief, I read the Dispatch today where good old Jackie Thompson said she's running for Mayor next! Hey Gerry...this gives you time to paint up more sandwich signs....or er....PAINT YOUR HOUSE! In the time you took...in the energy you took....you could have made well needed improvements to your home. Instead, you wasted time, energy and $$$$$$$$$ on the likes of the sinister Jackie Thompson!!! You stepped into a battle that you took NO TIME to investigate and only chose to support Jackie because it was "different"!
You "chatted up" the children of Council Members Howard and Bailey and tried to humiliate them by sandwich signing your way across WYHS saying LIES about their Dads. You are not capable of an adult "conversation" and instead picked on the kids. Leave the kids alone NOW!!!!
Jackie and Gerry, you both humiliated yourselves and deserved no less than either of you got or what is still coming to you in ways of various charges. Not a threat - A PROMISE. -CJ

Have We Really Been Given Fair Reporting?????

Oddly enough, when Mr. Corvo of the SNP Whitehall News wrote the story “Backers of Issue 32 report raising $2,115 toward effort” 10/29/09, he did not see any interest in reporting the list of contributors that live outside of Whitehall who gave to Council Member LaCorte’s campaign. Only 3 out of 15 contributors live in Whitehall – LaCorte herself is included in the 3. LaCorte was her own biggest contributor at $700.00 while Tim Cooper of Westerville was second at $500.00.

La Corte Contributors
Tim H. Cooper - Westerville $250.00
Pam Elliot –Westerville $100.00
Heidi Mason -Canal Winchester $50.00
Roberta LaCorte – Granville $125.00
Gene Cook – Columbus $100.00
Roy Adkins – Whitehall $25.00
Bonnie Warrick – Reynoldsburg $40.00
Mary Cain – Carroll $5.00
Tim H. Cooper – Westerville $250.00
Paul Snyder – Worthington $50.00
Mike and Ann Sbrochi – Westerville $50.00
Carol and Pauline LaCorte – Columbus $25.00
Jackie Ashton – Columbus $50.00
Chelsea Wright – Whitehall $200.00
Leslie LaCorte – Whitehall $700.00

In response to Council Member LaCorte saying she relies on contributions from those who “support her” in looking at her list of contributors, 12 contributions came from OUTSIDE of Whitehall while ONLY 3 came from Whitehall residents of which one was Ms. LaCorte herself.
INTERESTINGLY ENOUGH, Jackie Thompson has NOTHING to say about the OUTSIDERS who back LaCorte – who only had 1/5 of her contributions from Whitehall residents.
This is just another example of how COUNCIL MEMBER THOMPSON plays her dirty politics. Report any outside contributions of other financial reports…..but NOT of her friend.

The ballot reads as follows:
ISSUE 32
Shall Jacquelyn K. Thompson be allowed
to continue as Council At Large?
VOTE NO on ISSUE 32

The Citizens For The Positive Future Of Whitehall

Another “interesting” note – this story was pulled from SNP on-line Friday as comments were sent “breaking this news”. Let me also note at this time, that SNP let the story of how Jackie Thompson claimed "Outsiders" were trying to get her voted out...aka Skip Teaford (my guy-Columbus) and The Committee For The Positive Future of Whitehall's Treasurer (Sandy DiCocco -Reynoldsburg) stay on-line for 2 weeks...but NEVER ONCE noted that Jackie's Treasurer when she got Elected was Maria VonVille of Columbus---AN OUTSIDER.

THE DAMNING E-MAIL FROM JACKIE TO GLAZERS

Here is the e-mail that according to Jackie "does not exist" when asked for by City Attorney Mike Shannon for Janiece Miller's public record request that Janiece made to the city last April directly following her firing from Glazers.

From: jacquelyn.thompson@whitehall-oh.us
Subject: FW: Attacks on Elected Official

CC: jacquelyn.thompson@whitehall-oh.us
Dear Mr. Lepow-
The following e-mail was sent to me. other city officials and people outside of government using your company’s e-mail system. Does Glazer support this unfortunate and outrageous use of Its system to attack a duly elected City official? This is not the first emails that have been sent out by Janiece Miller under the auspices of Glazers Distributors of Ohio that attack me. Your hold harmless statement "All personal messages express solely the sender's views and not those of Glazer's Wholesale Drug Company, Inc." does not relieve your company from the harm that may have been caused to me nor does It enhance the reputation of your company, which has it's distributorship on Poth Road in Whitehall. Surely you have a system in place to weed out emails such as this. Does Glazers Distributors of Ohio support her attacks and opinion? One can only wonder. I will appreciate a response from your company and would hope that in the future your company would not be implicated in Ms. Miller's attacks upon my good character. From her email I think you can deduce that things are very volatile in our city right now and threats have been made. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Very truly yours,
Jacquelyn K. Thompson
City Councihwoman-at-Large

Jackie had also attached Janiece's e-mail(remember- it's posted on the blog already)...but cut it so it looked like it was sent JUST TO HER!!
What a piece of work YOU ARE JACKIE!!! I can smell the legal proceedings coming your way!!!

Public Records Request

Well - Council Member Jackie Thompson has refused to hand over the public records requests that Attorney Mike Shannon informed her she was to surrender. The requests were made by the Columbus Dispatch, Janiece Miller and myself. Nothing to hide??? Ummm. You be the judge! Just more delay tactics from Jackie!!

Well...yet MORE Jackie LIES!

So......I was going through the blog, council minutes, public records, the videos...you know - just checking the facts like any good journalist does. Any way....I saw in the minutes of Feb. 8, 2008 when I went to a Council Meeting for the first time since Jackie had been elected. I had gone previously many times, but none since she was sworn in. I made it perfectly clear that she has caused me enough trouble in the past with her harassment of citizens and them in turn calling my home to complain to her. I added that now that she was on Council, she needed to have the backbone to publish her phone number. I left directly after my statement. She said in the minutes of the meeting, that she had "NEVER" heard of me before and if I hadn't left, she would have gotten my address to send me a card. Right! Chris Rodriguez pointed out that all speakers have to give their name and address before speaking. Okay....so at last Tuesday's meeting, while she was slicing and dicing, she said that she first heard of me in 2001 when she was running against Chris Rodriguez and I wrote letters to the editor to tell people not to vote for her. Okay...let's "do the math"....2008 - 2001 is 7....count em SEVEN years that you LIED about JACKIE!! Oh...that's not it people...she told a resident while passing out her slew of "free" fliers (and I say "free" because she sure did not file financials for her "campaign" to stay seated, so they must have cost NOTHING at STAPLES...or for the postage for the 2200 she mailed out! And still no disclaimer on them!!)that "the MEN on Council have all voted to recall her". LIE LIE LIE Jackie...LIE! What the "vote" was- was as per the CHARTER rules, to set the date of the recall. That's it! No vote yet to boot her off council...THAT vote is November 3rd. Oh...and BTW, as you stay free from H1N1, remember to thank Jackie herself. According to "her", SHE is responsible for the Mayor following the CDC guidelines of alerting the public of any dangers. Ah come on Jackie!! Even YOU can't really expect that any citizen will fall for THAT line of CRAP! The CDC warned everyone last year that H1N1 would be back in full force this year....so don't even bother blowing your own horn on such rubbish Jackie!!!! So far Jackie, ALL that you've done for Whitehall is DAMAGE!!! Blood curdling, bone retching damage to any and all that have been in your way!!
VOTE NO on ISSUE 32!! Stop the carnage!!!

Mean Nasty Jackie!

As Jackie speaks for what she "believes" is her last poll council (God Willing!!), Jackie takes stabs, jabs, hacks, wacks, slices and dices through "the men" on council, the Mayor, Mr. Shannon and of course me! As I tried to contain myself, I found myself so darn amused at watching her head virtually spin off her neck as she spew hatred through out the room! Jackie in her own little mind, has decided that I am a robot of the city. It seems "the city" brings me out whenever she leaves her house. LMAO! Jackie said that THE FIRST TIME she EVER heard of me was when she ran against Chris Rodriguez in 2001. Seriously Jackie?? Really?? I purchased my home on Maplewood in 1985. You dirtied my neighborhood when you purchased your house in 1989. The point?? Oh Jackie Jackie Jackie. You started your crap with the neighbors shortly after you moved in. The blue tarps drove you insane. (I don't think you ever really recovered!) My daughter was 9 when you moved in so in the spring/summer of 1990 is when I got "the HATE letter". I called the Whitehall police. I gave the letter to the detective. The local paper ran a story titled "The Tale of Two Thompsons" at my request so people would stop calling me to bitch at you! You say you did not receive a call from the police...well...you hardly remember what it is the vote is about, so I doubt you remember if a detective called on you or not. Especially since you have such a "selective" memory! Then you complain about being filmed since April!! Oh Jackie!! You just never ever "got it". The entire point of the video was to get you to curb your behavior. Nope! Not Jackie Thompson! No no...you just HAD to act out a life time of evil, conniving, lie filled hatred at the expense of any citizen that dared to cross you. What was different with me? Well, I learned from years of dodging the citizens calls that you enraged, just how to stay a step ahead of you. Yep! That was me...ALWAYS RIGHT THERE! Make no mistake. I will be sure to keep you on the radar until the day I die to be sure that you never ever ever do to another what YOU DID TO JANIECE MILLER!!!
See Jackie in action as she spews more hatred and watch her laugh shamelessly as Wes finally has his say!!
NOW ADDED---As Teri Ranke sobs while reading her statement of opposition to Jackie's letter to the editor in last week's SNP---Jackie laughs, grins and smirks!!!

By Teri Ranke as read at Council Meeting 10/20/09

Ms. Thompson your letter to the editor of SNP this past week was undoubtedly one of the most self centered pieces of trash that you have yet come up with. You parade your patriotism as if it were a license for your outrageous behavior. You speak as if you are the only person who has ever seen the horrors of war.
I grew up next to a veteran who was bound to a wheel chair …shrapnel in his spine…European Theater. The father of a friend was pinned under a tank and it was either lay there and die or cut his own leg off and live…North Africa. My own father was on a destroyer that was torpedoed and it was thought all hands had been lost at sea…Pacific Theater. My father was the recipient of the highest honor that the Navy can give…The Navy Cross
I too lost friends in Vietnam and am married to a Navy veteran (USS Forestall) who served during Vietnam. I have two sons currently serving our country. Our Marine is in Iraq and our Army solder is due to be deployed any day. And I have had a tri-fold casket flag placed in my hands and have heard the words…”A Grateful Nation Thanks You”…as a 21 gun salute is being fired and TAPS is being played..The self serving statements in your letter are a slap in the face to all veterans and their service to our country and to their families. What the VFW did was to simply perform a basic business transaction. And even if they had chosen to make a political statement by renting that room…each and every one of their members past, present and future have more than earned that right!!! They are the ones who have fought for our democratic rights!!!

Dog Trial Day

There is honestly no end to Council Member Jackie Thompson and her rude and narcissistic behavior!! Today was "Dog Court Day" for Jackie. It turned into a pre-trial day...but what a show it was! She entered the courtroom with the spoken attitude of "I am a Whitehall Council Member"! She said this to the city prosecutor and to the judge several times. She waved papers in the air spewing that she has proof that she was innocent of breaking the ordinance on the day she got the letter. Please note - she did NOT say she was innocent ...she said she was innocent "on that day"! She was rude to the Whitehall Special Prosecutor, she disrupted the courtroom arguing with him as he attempted to get her to step out of the room to discuss the case. This "stepping out of the room" is protocol as we witnessed it for the entire time we were there. Someone would enter the room, call a name, that person would follow, they would return and be seen by the judge. No no...not Whitehall's embarrassment! NO! We have to be "represented" by someone who made a mockery of the courtroom while boistering "Iam a member of Whitehall City Council!!" (WooWoo..look at me!!) Someone who waved papers in the air at the judge even as he continually told her that it was not the day to give her "evidence". To top it ALL off-- the Special Prosecutor for Whitehall - Mr. Kevin Mantel said "The City of Whitehall is NOT paying me enough to take HER abuse!"
Dog Trial Part 2 -January 6, 2010-NO JURY!

JACKIE THOMPSON DISRESPECTS ALL SOLDIERS' SACRIFICES

In her latest "attempt" to save herself from RECALL on November 3, Jackie Thompson has put a Letter to the Editor in the SNP this week. She has the AUDACITY AND NERVE to say that the VFW Post should only rent out their hall to groups SHE finds acceptable! Listen Jackie-soldiers have fought and died for ALL of OUR rights to FREEDOM of SPEECH....NOT JUST FOR YOU TO STAND IN THE MIDDLE OF TOWN HALL AND LIE LIE LIE to the good citizens of Whitehall!! SHAME ON YOU JACKIE THOMPSON! SHAME ON YOU!!!!
VFW should not take sides against supporter of soldiers
To the Editor:
A citizen called me and told me that the sponsors of the recall initiative against me were holding a fundraiser at the Whitehall VFW. This is troubling to me for several reasons.
First of all, it gives the impression that the VFW supports the recall. Secondly, this is very hurtful to me personally. My niece's father (and my friend), Craig Weber, was killed in Vietnam. My uncle. R.J. Claybaugh, flew bombers over Germany during WWII. My son and my brother were both submariners in the Navy.
My family has served and a member paid the ultimate price for his country. I have been to the Vietnam War Memorial and I have wept as I touched Craig's name and that of a school friend, Gary Leach. Craig's parents never stopped mourning and it shattered their lives. My niece was too young to remember her father and never had the oppor­tunity to know him.
My whole adult life I have supported the soldiers and the veterans. I have written government officials letters in sup­port of their issues. I have contributed to organizations that work to find and bring home those soldiers missing in ac­tion. I have stood with our soldiers and veterans always!
So I am disappointed in the VFW for giving credibility to my detractors and allowing this event to be held within the walls of an organization that is meant to represent and give comfort to all veterans and their families, not special inter­est groups with a political agenda.
