#1 Here is her website: http://www.everythingconneautohio.com/

Here is the letter, in two parts:

Part 1

Part 2

I find it particularly hilarious that the Law Director for the city is named - Lori Lamer.

Comedy gold, if it wasn't so gosh darn serious.

#2 The manager also scolded council members who attended the meeting and didn't speak on his behalf, without naming names,

Need some cheese to go with that whine, Chief.

#4 She has all the businesses advertised except Bail Bondsmen.

The city manager keeps this up he's going to need one.

#5 Sounds to me like the 'good city manager' is pissed because she was able to get a website up weeks before the 'offical' website (which probably sucks anyway).

I'm betting Mr. Manager is an avid Obama supporter too.

Here is a link to what appears to be the 'offical' site: http://www.conneaut.net/. Still under construction.

#6 Not to worry Seafarious -this is comedy gold and not at all serious, other than in the minds of the City Manager, the Law Director, and three councilmen.

It is a classic example of the private sector embarassing the pants off of the public sector, and likely at a very small fraction of the price.

It gets a bit serious with the coercive legal nature of the City's whining, and very serious as soon as anyone begins asking why Conneaut (pronounced as in "Connie ought", not "connote") even needs a city manager, a law director, and in all liklihood, a city council.

Alas, this former buckeye can only hope.
