CCS BD MEMBERS APPROVE McKINLEY GRAND TAX ABATEMENT: 4 TO 1 (RESNICK: HELL, NO!)


CCS BOE MEMBER & VP ERIC RESNICK:  "A MIXED BAG!"

RESNICK VIDEO - THE GRILLING OF CRAWFORD

RESNICK VIDEO - EXTENDED REMARKS


On the one hand: one cannot but admire CCS board member & VP Eric Resnick for putting up a fight against the CCS agreeing to a 75%/15 yr Enterprise Zone property tax abatement which will likely end up depriving the CCS.

On the other hand:  Resnick came off as a "sore" loser as he went on and on and on (Bd president JR Rinaldi tried to cut him off) regarding the arguments made by national and state "Think Tanks" as referred to by Resnick in his comments before last night's vote.

On the positive side, Resnick was the ONLY board member to grill HOF representative and president Michael Crawford.  Rinaldi, Russ, Milligan came off as cheerleaders which should endear them to Repository publisher Jim Porter who is well known for his sycophantic ("the official newspaper of the Pro Football Hall of Fame") relationship all things HOF Village related project.

Here is Resnick in his "finest 'moment'" in grilling Crawford:



The Resnick/Crawford exchange is an object lesson for all members of deliberative bodies in Stark County political subdivisions (i.e. cities, villages, townships and boards of education) of the preparation that a council/board member ought to have engaged in prior to asking questions of the likes of a Micheal Crawford.

BUT he did "guild the lilly" and thereby detracted from his incisive questioning of Crawford.

Here is Resnick in  an "overkill" mode.



His seemingly unending diatribe may cost him re-election on November 5th as hoped for by The Rep's "powers that be!"

A Resnick loss will make Rich Derosiers and Jim Porter of the "official newspaper of the Pro Football Hall of Fame" very, very, very happy!

Encouraging a public official analytical, skeptical frame of mind is not a quality that these newspaper men will abide when it comes to HOF matters.

Likely because they perceive "all things HOF" as a last gasp as a last hope for reviving downtown Canton and they do not want anyone upsetting the apple cart.

All-in-all, CCS board member and VP Eric Resnick was "a mixed bag" last night.
