On this date 101 years ago, American motorists got the green light to confidently proceed through increasingly traveled crossroads. A traffic light system, credited with being the first in the U.S., flashed red and green at the intersection of 105th Street and Euclid Avenue in Cleveland, Ohio. To further prompt drivers, the words “Stop” and “Move” were emblazoned on the operating red and green lights. At the time, there were about 1.8 million motor vehicles in the U.S., six times more than just five years earlier. Now, there are nearly 254 million motor vehicles crowding our roads. Traffic lights control the flow of this congestion, leaving Americans with an average one-way commute of nearly 26 minutes You can find more facts about America’s people, places and economy, from the American Community Survey, at <www.census.gov>.

I noticed on your local paper’s online edition that the COUNTY CROOK has gotten the Courts in Vance County to allow for a change of venue to Franklin County due to what is being labeled as a prejudiced jury pool due to the news coverage of her sticky fingers. Now your newest Dist. Atty. Waters is quoted as saying he expects a Plea Deal or Trial to take place sometime this year. Like I said from Day 1……not 1 day behind bars for stealing over 1/4 million $$$ from taxpayers in Vance County. Guess some of you don’t mind b/c as statistics will show….nearly 1/2 of the people in Vance County either live in Section 8 Housing or they rent from one of the many landlords……and some from the local slumlords.
Guess it’s nice to STEAL over 1/4 million dollars and not have to worry about being locked up? Guess it pays to be a female….and pays more to be white? Explain that know it all PUBLIUS!! Let me guess….you are a renter? I expect you are…..lol.
?!
Publius….you fit the perfect description of a quote that I heard some time ago…..”It is better to be thought a FOOL…than to open one’s mouth and remove all doubt”…..you instead fit this description better…”When you can’t actively participate in a discussion about newsworthy topics it’s better to try to be funny…..too bad you aren’t capable of either”. You have proven my point from the very 1st post you ever posted on HiH…..you aren’t always truthful(LIAR) and you evidently aren’t too smart”. Put that in your ?! and smoke on it for awhile. They say it has medicinal purposes…maybe it won’t kill the last couple brain cells you have left b/c you come across as not too smart and very bitter….especially towards someone who is smarter and more knowledgeable of the goings-on in your backyard!! Enjoy your trip to Hardee’s in the morning.
Forrest Gump said it best……STUPID IS AS STUPID DOES!!! When you have something to bring to HiH that’s informative and makes sense feel free to bring it to HiH….until then….don’t pull your hair up too tight.
P.S. Don’t forget to pay your rent this month.
Deception and Pub no harm meant but can you all just squash this so that we can have a intelligent conversation about our town crook! I’m bored with the arguments
Let’s see: According to Decept I’m a “know it all…renter…a FOOL…LIAR…STUPID….” and that’s just in two posts in one day. To my knowledge, we’ve never met and yet you know me so well. For once I’m speechless (or is it typeless?).
Your posts tell lots about your intellect….figure it out.
You said you would meet me at a location in Oxford….you didn’t show up….what do you call that?
Your posts tell lots about your intellect…figure it out.
Walks like a duck….talks like a duck….is it AFLAC? Probably not…..just my opinion but your posts are more of an indication into your intellect and your bashing of everything posted about the dump you call home. QUACK…QUACK!!!
NOT ONE DAY BEHIND BARS FOR A COUNTY CROOK WHO STOLE OVER 1/4 MILLION DOLLARS FROM TAXPAYERS IN VANCE COUNTY!!!!! I’m looking forward to proving just how much I know about the 9th District and its pathetic Judicial System. Who will be man/woman enough to keep their word on the wager that was hashed out months ago? Time will tell……
D.A. Waters—unbelievable for him to mention those nasty words “plea deal” in the same sentence about the pending embezzlement trial. This is unbelievable and a slap in the face to taxpayers.
Prudence:It’s not unbelievable for District 9 Dist. Attorneys to mention Plea Deals b/c if you have paid attention any during the past 10-25 years it all started with Michael Waters dad David who was the Dist. Atty. before Sam Currin took over. It looks like a “conviction” on the books even though the CROOKS get off sometimes with as little as community service or time served. Since the COUNTY CROOK never stepped foot inside a JAIL she won’t get credit for “time served” b/c that won’t be part of the Plea Deal. Watch and see….I say 3-5 years Probation…small fine….public apology(maybe). I know lots of people who would accept that kind of deal if you allowed them to STEAL over 1/2 MILLION DOLLARS and not have to worry about an active jail sentence.
SHE NEEDS TO GO TO JAIL b/c she ABUSED her position in the TAX OFFICE to take advantage of a lax supervisor who evidently let her write her own checks? What ever happened to Checks & Balances when dealing with other peoples money(Taxpayers Money)? Was that too much too ask? I say the State needs to call ex-county manager Jerry Ayscue to the stand and ask the hard questions to him as to why she was given all this power and how nobody figured it out when it seems as if it was not a very complicated or hard to figure out if some oversight had been provided!!!!
I still say she will not SERVE ONE DAY IN JAIL!!!! PROVE ME WRONG!!! and I will lose my wager and identify myself b/c if she doesn’t go to jail……someone else on HiH has to identify themselves. I hope they remember who they are.
Prudence…..since you still live in Vance County why don’t you organize a group of people to picket the District Attorney’s Office b/c even though they changed the venue to Franklin County it is still part of District 9 and Michael Waters is the District Atty. in Franklin Co. as well. How dumb was he to say that it will probably be settled by a Plea Deal? That means that a Plea Deal has already been offered and its up to the COUNTY CROOK and her atty. to accept it. It’s a **** SHAME!!!!
I didn’t know Waters was also DA in Franklin County, which makes his comments the more reprehensible in my opinion. Yes, the former County Manager and this woman’s immediate superior should also have been on the hot seat, of course. In the past I have voiced my opinion on several actions of city and county and it was whistling in the wind.
There needs to be some younger blood to come forward.
Prudence….yes Franklin Co. is part of the 9th Judicial System and thus Waters is the District Atty. With that being said…..like I have said more times than Publius has bashed my posts….the COUNTY CROOK will not serve 1 day behind bars. She has 3 things in her favor.
1. She is a female
2. She is white
3. She is facing her charges in the 9th District which is notorious for Plea Deals
I am pretty certain she will get 4-5 Probation…..some community service hours….and have to give a public apology. Rumor has it that she has some inside information on the day-2-day processes that were going on in County Government while she was employed there. Not sure how true that is but with the fact she didn’t even visit the JAIL when she was charged with stealing over 1/2 MILLION DOLLARS it may have some truth to it? Time will tell…..but she will not serve 1 day behind bars. Watch and see!!!! Your District Atty. is already mentioning a Plea Deal….how many times have you ever heard a Dist. Atty. say such a thing when the Defendant hasn’t even had their day in Court? Her atty. has already gotten it out of Vance County(the county where she stole the $$$) and had it moved to Franklin County. I’d say she’s already winning.
