TO CRAWFORD COUNTY NOW!

My name is Carolyn Shireman and I just want to make a few comments about the way Bucyrus is ran by the Mayor and City Council/

As some citizens of Bucyrus stand right now, we have a LAW DIRECTOR with an alcohol problem who was contracted out by Mayor Reser, while knowing this problem existed. After the last DUI the law director was put back in his position.

To be fair, I believe that Mr. Gernert should give up his seat until he seriously seeks professional help.

To be clear let it be known that I am rooting for Brian’s sobriety.

I am opposed to Mr. Motter filling that position due to his past record that cost the city thousands of dollars.

Now, let’s look at who sets in the council seats that I object to along with the Law Director.

First, MARK MAKEEVER, Mark has openly admitted to trespassing on Kurt Fankhauser’s property to take a picture of his meter. Why did he do this? To try to get Kurt removed from being able to run for his precinct against residing Sis Love.

After being found guilty for said trespassing Mark said he plans to run for Mayor. I use to have great respect for Mark.  HE WILL NOT GET MY VOTE!

His comments to “certain” residents at council meetings are quite distasteful. I clearly heard a very nasty comment myself concerning Vicky Dishon, (HOT MIKE). I myself called him out at council for his reference to me in an article. I told him, “Never insult my intelligence!”

In my opinion only, Mark Makeever is a dis-honest council member. HE NEEDS TO GO!

Next, we have Kevin Myers. It is my understanding that Kevin has a Domestic Violence charge from 2016. It was just relayed to me he actually has (3) some before becoming a council member.

He is also involved with the stripping the “REAL QUEEN” BAILEY of her crown.

HE NEEDS TO GO!

Now we have Dan Wirebaugh. Dan likes to take credit for things he never done. All his years on council, I cannot think of one thing he did for the citizens. He did set on the dunk tank for THE POSITIVE SEEKERS “RED WHITE AND BLUES” with all proceeds going to the CITY POLICE DEPARTMENT.

When the Mayor was talking about taking away a tax credit for workers living out of town but working in town, Dan Wirebaugh “MADE” me leave the council meeting. Council has a protocol that Wirebaugh did not follow in removing me.

The next meeting, Vicky Dishon was reading council the protocol and Wirebaugh grabbed his coat and walked out of the meeting. HE BROKE THE PROTOCOL AGAIN. I filed a grievance on Wirebaugh paid the $250 only to have Gernert to dismiss the case.

As of today September 5, 2022, I am still blocked from watching Live Council Meetings per JOHN ROTASH.

So, another council member who does not follow their own rules!  There is quite more to this story.

Now let’s get to Mayor Reser. At one time I had great respect for Reser until he showed his real true colors. For one, the mayor had Kelli Patterson send the POSITIVE SEEKERS a e-mail stating he couldn’t help in getting sponsorship from the same businesses he did the year befor because, I WAS VOTING FOR A DEMOCRATIC PARTY INSTEAD OF HIM. He was referring to when Dan Wirebaugh was running for Mayor. For what it’s worth, I am a registered TRUMPSTER! It was then that THE POSITIVE SEEKERS had there last RED WHITE AND BLUES!

I have never seen a mayor dis-regard the opinions of the citizens that voted for him.

Reser is about nothing but leaving a LEGACY.

Citizens were never given a chance to vote for the Bicentennial Park. The mayor took the back door route. And, got grants because he knew the vote would not pass. (LEGACY)

WHAT DOES HE CARE ABOUT YOU ASK? TREES. PARKS, AND RISING TAZES AND WATER RATES.

Where are the jobs? GE is gone.

WHEN A MAYOR CARES MORE ABOUT LEAVING A LEGACY THAN HE DOES ABOUT THE CONCERNS OF THE CITIZENS, he needs to go.

AND TO PUT A PARK ON A BUSY ROUTE 4 FOR KIDS TO GET KILLED, ACROSS FROM A REGISTERED SEX OFFENDER WHO BY THE WAY WENT TO COUNCIL IN CONCERN NOT TO BE IN VIALATION OF HIS PAROLE, AND NEXT TO A FLOODED RIVER FOR KIDS TO BE AT. WAS HE EVEN THINKING ABOUT SAFETY FOR THE CITIZENS OR HIS LEGACY?

BUCYRUS HAS A “GOOD OLE BOY” TEAM RUNNING A TOWN “YOU” THE CITIZENS PAYHARD EARN TAXES FOR.

WHAT ARE YOU GETTING IN RETURN?  PUT MONIES IN AUMILLAR PARK!

WE HAVE A COUNCIL WITH A COURT RECORD!

IT IS UP TO YOU THE CITIZENS OF BUCYRUS TO MAKE A CHANGE. ASK YOURSELF THIS, IN THE YEARS THE SAME MEMBERS HAVE SAT IN THE SAME SEAT. HOW HAVE THEY HELPED YOU?

MY GUESS IS THEY HAVEN’T OR WE WOULDN’T BE HAVING THESE CONVERSATIONS!

 

PLEASE DO NOT ADD OR TAKE OUT ANY COMMENT I HAVE MADE IN THIS LETTER TO “CRAWFORD COUNTY NOW”.

 

THANK YOU
