MAYOR CONFUSED, HE WILL WORK TO ABOLISH THE
CHARTER, GO TO OHIO REVISED
CODE
-
-
MAYOR MALONE CONFUSED, BUT RESPONSIBLE COUNCILMEN
NICHOLAS BASHAM,RICH SADDLER, STEVE
STURGILL, AND KEVIN JOHNSON WILL NOT ALLOW MAYOR MALONE, AND COUNCIL PRESIDENT JOHN R. HAAS TO BULLY THEM INTO
RUSH-RUSH, WASTEFUL
CONTRACTS.
Is Mayor David Malone confused by our
84-year-old City Charter about Public documents being public?
Malone was a councilman for seven years and
has now been Mayor for one year
and one month. The City Charter is
confusing.
With such brief experience, can we expect a
professional Self-promoting preacher-politician such as Mayor Malone to
understand
such “complexities and perplexities” as
David Malone now faces as Chief Executive
of our internationally notorious "City
of Prosperity"?
NO,we cannot. The
84-year-old Charter is self-contradictory, difficult and is
old beyond its time.
It is time to ABOLISH
THE CHARTER and go to the Ohio Revised Code for an
easier
to understand Government "by the People", and "for the
People".
Under our City Charter all we
have is "government of the people"
by unelected wealthy power controllers.
Mayor David Malone is to be forgiven for his error. He has learned from
his handlers that it it best to keep public records secret so
the public will
have less to complain about when the money comes up short, and
we have
deficits that require repeated raises in income taxes, steep
raises in property
taxes, eighteen per-cent increases in water charges and other
steeper fees.
Also Mayor Malone has learned not to let lower-and
middle-class citizens who
are struggling with big, hard-to-pay
increased water rates and destructive residential taxes know the truth about what he has been doing to them.
While punishing the lower classes with excessive demands for
more of their dollars, you,
David Malone, have been, at the same time, “giving the store
away” as you kneel behind fancy
doors in the luxurious offices of shyster lawyers, criminal bankers, real estate predators and
kiss the rings of the privileged rich.
And then David Malone, you award them with
special considerations such as
tax abatements of Two Million and Six-Hundred Thousand Dollars to two
local malefactors of great
wealth.
Also the Mayor must keep quiet about these same two arrogant
multi-millionaires paying
almost no water bills. They get a real break. These are only
part of their rewards
for being known as two of the
wealthiest, immoral thieves in town.
What do the ordinary citizens
get in return for your special considerations for these big-dollar gangsters.
Hopefully you receive
special considerations from the ones
you favor so well.
Many citizens have noticed from the election records that you
donated
One Thousand Dollars to the campaign in favor of the last
income tax raise.
Did anyone help you pay that One Thousand Dollars?
On Monday evening, January 23, 2012, at City Hall, Third Ward Councilman
Nicholas Basham led four Councilmen
in rejecting a multiple-year wage
and
benefit contract Mayor David Malone had secretly made with
Firefighters.
Mayor Malone, with Council President
John Haas leading the effort, had presented
the Firefighter wage agreement on the
9th of January, 2012, and expected
the Councilmen to vote for its passage
without reading it.
This was the same proposed ordinance that Mayor Malone declared
was secret
to the public and would be kept a secret until after council
voted it into law.
Most citizens of the city knew the documents were public,
and Portsmouth Daily
Times Writer FRANK LEWIS certainly knew the proposed ordinance was a public document. He
asked for a copy and was denied
by our Honorable Mayor Malone until Malone received a legal
opinion rom City Solicitor Mike
Jones.

Mayor
David Malone was on the top of the list of twenty (20) city
employees
to
receive a Three Thousand Dollar Bonus in December 2011,
according to
information received today (January 6, 2012)
from City Auditor's Office.
Our
unelected Mayor Malone has also been performing
newsworthy acts of
discrimination, and
creating
turmoil by violating union contract
agreement..

On Monday, January 09,
2011
City Union President
Keith Nylund was
interviewed by
Mayor David Malone
in the Office of the City
Service Department for
Disciplinary Action.
President
Nylund was informed by Mayor Malone that he
was going to lay Nylund off on
suspension without pay, but has
not yet decided
how much time off to sentence
Nylund to for complaining to the
Mayor's office about Mayor
Malone's mis-treatment
of the city' trash-truck
workers by denying
them equal overtime
opportunities and benefits other city
workers have been
receiving.
Mayor Malone
had denied Mr. Nylund’s request to have time to
get an attorney to
accompany him to the Disciplinary hearing.
As Union Leader Nylund has dared to complain about
Mayor failing to abide by
contract agreements, and continued discrimination against
union personnel.
As President
of the Union there is no local Union member empowered to
appear with President Nylund in David
Malone's Kangaroo-Court-type decision and
punishment. Shawnee Sentinel inside
information is that our appointed Mayor
David Malone will forbid any legal assistance to Union
President Keith Nylund.
Here in Portmouth City a
felonious Police Chief was given better treatment
by the Mayor's Office in 2008
than Mayor David Malone is now
giving an honest Union
President.
A precedent was set when Mayor James D.
Kalb suspended Police Chief Charles
Horner in May 2008 for ordering his police
officers to swear to false statements
in the case of Lee Scott v City of
Portsmouth. Chief Charles Horner committed
felony
crimes in the botched-alleged drug
investigation on Market Street and Mayor Kalb
allowed Chief Charles Horner to
draw full pay and
all benefits while on
suspension.
In this case of Keith Nylund attempting to
protect his union members there is no
mention of Mr. Nylund committing any
criminal acts such as Police Chief Horner
did.
To suspend Keith Nylunds pay now for doing
his lawful elected duty as Union
President, after the Mayor's
Office previously did not take away the Police
Chief's
pay when the Chief was suspended for
felony crimes, is an act of unfair
abusive discrimination
Keith Nylund is an elected
officer of the Union and deserves
proper respect and fair treatment from
the appointed
Mayor.
Portsmouth City
employees voted for Keith Nylund in an election to represent
them and the proposed
action by Mayor Malone to take away the voice and vote
of the city
employees is an act of cruel
and unjust power. Members of the Union will also
lose
their representative in union
rights while President Nylund is on suspension.

Mayor
David Malone is giving false information - Negotiated union
contracts are public property once
they are presented to
Council.
Mayor
says they are secret until the Council votes for them, citizens are
not allowed to view what they are going to have to pay for,
according to Mayor David Malone. He is lying to us and should
be recalled from his appointed
position.
public
records. Councilman Jim Kalb trying
to pull another fast
crooked deal in the big firemen's new contract; they learned there
is no secrecy in these
cases in 2006 and again in
2008.
In February,
2009 our present FISCAL DISASTER was
voted in by elected Council President David Malone and three
appointed Councilmen, Mike Mearan, Jerrold Albrecht and John Haas;
they all voted in favor of big raises without reading
the 2009 budget that Jim Kalb presented to them. Kalb
was slick about the way he presented this budget, but Third Ward
Councilman Bob Mollette and Sixth Ward Councilman Richard Noel would
not vote for an ordinance that was secretive.
Council
President John Haas likes
to bully items through Council with improper, unethical, unlawful actions; in this case
he is too
inexperienced to
understand what they are doing and is doing what his
older
accomplices are telling him to do.
TODAY'S RECOMMENDED READING :

Mayors
meeting in Baltimore. David
Malone
of Portsmouth is in attendance,
according to information from his office on Monday 20 June,
2011.
************
David
Malone blessed with excellent forum by City
Employees
Nearly
sixty persons were in attendance at Flohr Lecture Hall at the Shawnee
State University Library on Wednesday evening, June 15, 2011, at 6:00 for
the announced Mayor’s Forum that lasted less than ninety minutes which
included a question and answer session after the city officials
spoke.
Second
Ward Councilman James R. Saddler II attended the meeting; he was the only
City Councilman in attendance.
One lady from the Auditor’s Office was there. Neither the Auditor nor the
Solicitor were present.
Mayor
David Malone welcomed all visitors and introduced his office staff,Ms.
Jeanette Langford and Ms. Tracy Shearer. They were the creators and
producers of the very fine program that the department heads
presented.
The
speakers were heads of the many departments of the Mayor’s
Office.
All
spoke well and the words they were speaking appeared in four inch letters
on a large screen beside the speaker. Along with the words were an
abundance of good photos that increased understanding for the viewers.
Juanita Jewett of the Engineers’s Office was the lead-off speaker. She was followed by Community
Development Director Rebecca Steele, Bill Beaumont of the Service
Department spoke and then Captain Bob Long of the Fire Department. Then Police Chief Charles Horner
spoke; he was followed by Sam Sutherland of Public Utilities Filtration,
then by Rick Duncan of the Wastewater Department , and the final speaker
was the City Health Commissioner Peggy
Burton.
ll
the talks were brief, very informative and easy to understand. Personally, I learned much about
the city and its operations , and really appreciate the knowledge I gained
and truly value the efforts and talent that went into producing this
excellent forum program.
As
advertised there was a question and answer session following the talks by
the department heads.
The presentations had answered many questions
the audience may have had, but citizens still had many questions to be
asked and Mayor Malone raced speedily across the meeting room from one
speaker to another with a wireless microphone to quickly serve questioners
with their chance to speak.
The
questioners could and did direct their questions to any member of the city
officials, and their questions were answered!
In
all, the Forum was also good in that it brought out a feeling of
togetherness and of understanding of citizens and government friendly with
one another in a pleasant atmosphere.
This
newly-born harmony, in action with the people and their government in this
City is promising and , may bring forth fruits of understanding and
betterment for all.
As Mayor Malone has said, “Portsmouth can be the
City of Prosperity for all.”
The
Mayor has planned a repeat of this program for Wednesday, June 29, 2011
at
Sciotoville East High School at 6:00
p.m.
By
Austin Leedom Thursday, June 16, 2011
MALONE RECENTLY VISITED THE EVIL LITTLE MAN IN THE
LOFTS,
C. CLAYTON JOHNSON.
AFTER MAKING HIS DEAL WITH JOHNSON, THE VIDEO RECORDERS SHOWED
MAYOR MALONE AS HE LEFT CLAY JOHNSON'S LOFTS OFFICE AND WENT
INTO THE TPN BANK.
Mayor David Malone will be taking orders from RICO
GANGSTERS C. Clayton Johnson
Neal Hatcher and their white-trash criminal
associates as Johnson and Hatcher
prepare to loot the city vault again.
Forecast: Mayor
Malone has confessed that he has been in talks with Michael
Asabrook, a contract engineer, to get an appraisal for
renovating the Martings
Department Store building to use as a city building. Cost of renovation is
estimated at 16 to 25 million dollars. Taxes on real
estate will be used to pay for this rehabbed old building. Not all citizens who own real
estate will have to pay to rebuild this old store. It your property has been tax
abated then you won’t have to pay a dime and neither will
multi-millionaires such as Neal Hatcher and Clay Johnson on their tax free
property.
Most citizens are aware that spending any money on the
Martings Building without voter approval is a crime. David Malone was a member of
council when the proposed ordinance forbidding spending money on the
Martings Building became the
law.
Mayor David Malone is well aware that many citizens look upon
the
Martings Building as a symbol of oppression and corruption
because
of involvement of the lies, the thefts, the abuse of process
in the
acquisition of it and the continuing possession by C. Clayton
Johnson of
the two million dollars C. Clayton Johnson stole
from us by fraud in May 2002.
Friday I saw a person on the streets of Portsmouth with a
T-Shirt with an imprinted ad urging recall of the Mayor. Shirts very similar to the one I
saw were quite popular during Mayor Greg Bauer’s
recall-shortened-reign as men and ladies crowded the council chambers on
meeting nights wearing such garments.
Greg Bauer supported and purchased the Martings Building and
the citizens rewarded Mayor Bauer with a shorter time in office. Council President Jim
Kalb helped take Greg Bauer out of office and then
took his place as Mayor.
Now, Clay Johnson’s appointed councilman, John
Haas, is Council President. When David Malone is recalled John Haas will become Mayor by
default, according to Charter
Law.
Mayor Malone’s plan to re-hab the Martings building will get
his recall
started by the people and Clay Johnson, John Haas, and Police
Chief
Charles Horner will be supporting the recall. Possibly the retired Auditor
Tom Bihl will again come forward to assist in getting
petitions for the
removal of another
Mayor.
Next Council Meeting will be Monday, May
13, 2011.

VOTE NO ON THE RECALL - KEEP JANE
MAYOR
WE CAN'T AFFORD
DAVID MALONE AS MAYOR.
David Malone is a stooge for this same Clay Johnson, the defacto
controller of Portsmouth.
And his puppet David Malone has repeatedly voted for Clay
Johnson interests and against the
interests of citizens of
Portsmouth.
An attempt to install the crooked City Councilman David Malone as
Mayor by the
Recall to Mayor Jane Murray to be held on 7th of December, 2010-
Why is the
Clay
Johnson/SOGP Group that has controlled the City
government for over
thirty
years, trying to get your elected Mayor out of
office? Why?
Now the criminal wealthy power group has an honest Mayor in
Office they cannot
control.
As
long as she is in office they cannot continue to loot the city treasury
for
their increased power
and wealth they have gained by kickback, backroom contracts
and
the selling of their
useless old properties to the city at exalted prices, (for example,
the sale by
Clay Johnson of the nearly-worthless Marting
Building to the City for Two Million
Dollars in May
2002.)
If
Jane Murray is voted out of Office, she will be replaced by Council
President
David
Malone. David is one
of the scoundrels who supported the Martings
Purchase and twice voted to spend millions of your dollars to rehab
the old
Martings wreck.
This multi-million
dollars expense to make the Martings Building a place to install city
government would place all Portsmouth property owners deeply in
debt with
increased real-estate taxes for the next thirty
years.
By moving city government to the old Martings Building the present
building would be
emptied and is to be sold at a giveaway price to developers C.
Clayton Johnson
and Neal Hatcher for their personal further enrichment. David
Malone voted for the
purchase of the Martings Building and voted against the rights of
citizens to
vote yes or no on this grand theft.
With David Malone as Mayor you can expect water and sewer rate
increases as
happened to all city water users 10 times in the past 12
years. A vote for recall of
Mayor Murray is a vote for totally corrupt control of city
government by the
installation
of David
Malone as the Clay Johnson/Neal Hatcher puppet Mayor.
Malone is a true and trusted criminal associate of Clay
Johnson.. He is an enemy of
Democracy and has voted to stop citizens from voting on the
Martings Scandal.
Please take a look at David Malone’s record of raising taxes and
lying before you vote
to put him in charge of what will become a "Totally
Corrupted Clay Johnson-Neal Hatcher City".
Keep your Mayor Jane
Murray. You voted her into
office, Don't let Clay Johnson
and
Neal Hatcher take her
away. Remember Clay Johnson
who defrauded you out of
two million dollars in the Martings
Building Fraud in May 2002.
Clay Johnson still has our money
and has demonstrated that he is not going to
give
it back. Johnson is a thief
and he will be telling his accomplice David Malone what to do as Mayor if
Mayor Jane Murray is
recalled.
VOTE NO on
RECALL.

11:01 Thursday night, March 10th,
2011. 41-YR-OLD Kenny
Gibbs of New Boston was shot to
death in attempt
to rob the Sixth Street Carry-out at
the corner of Offnere Street.
Report from our caller said this business
has been robbed twice in past
month by the
same
man armed with a knife. Tonight an armed guard stopped the robbery.
Robbers have recently suffered from violent opposition
in breaking and entering and armed robbery in
this neighborhood. On the 20th
of January this year, 32 year old Jeremy Boysel of
Seventh Street was
gunned down in a daytime burglarly attempt nearby on
Sixth Street. Austin Leedom 11:45 p.m.

Public was invited
NOT to attend their meeting by Mayor Malone or Auditor Trent
Williams. City of
Portsmouth is under a FISCAL WATCH by the STATE AUDITOR.
Is
David Malone following Jim Kalb 's criminal path as Mayor by holding
secret meetings
and
negotiating
private unbid backroom deals? The traditional 10%
kickback on
crooked
contracts is enough to make a Mayor a very wealthly man in a
very short time.
The
7.5 Million Dollar Ameresco contract, alone, could have furnished Jim Kalb
enough
money
that he could have spent the rest of his life on vacation at the racetracks.- This
contract was suspect from
the beginning, but Kalb got it pushed through.
Why? The City
has been paying $900,000 a year on the
principal and interest of this contract; this is a major
part
of the city's continuing
deficit. Did Kalb get 10% on the
fraudulent Ameresco
price?
Our
new appointed Mayor David Malone served with Kalb from the time Kalb
became
Mayor
in July 2004 following the recall of Mayor Greg Bauer. Kalb
was defeated for
re-election in 2009. Will Kalb and Malone
team up to make more deficit government
if Kalb is elected 4th Ward Councilman this
fall?

Appointed Mayor David Malone’s order forbidding the Mayor’s
Department Heads the Right to Speak to News Reporters without Mayor's
permission IS WRONG
TO MAYOR DAVID MALONE:
OK, Mayor; we don't argue. In our view Police Chief Charles Horner is a devil, but he
still has the right to talk.
Chief Horner has an evil reputation and record as a serial
abuser of citizens’ rights and privileges and is recognized as being more
successful as a terroristic politician than as a
policeman.
Therefore, with his record we can’t trust
Charles Horner, and we can not trust you, David Malone , because your
actions and words have been as abusive, discriminatory and
un-Constitutional and Un-American as those of Chief Charles
Horner.
Your record, David Malone, as Councilman
has been terrible. You voted
to keep citizens from voting on the second purchase of the Old Martings
Building in 2005.
You lied to us citizens in a special
meeting at the City Library when you explained why you voted against the
desires and advice of your citizens in the Second
Ward.
Your talk that day,David, was a great performance. So many
citizens were incensed with your vote against our right to vote that even
persons from other wards attended the afternoon meeting in the city
library, you had an audience, and you further misinformed us in a grand
style, and your words were unbelievable.
In your mendacious bloviating to us citizens you, David
Malone, standing, with waving arms and dancing feet explained to us there
in the small library room, in an undulating voice that why you had changed
your vote and double-crossed us was, because we, your constituents, were
“unable to comprehend the complexities and perplexities of voting yes or
voting no” on your plan.
You, David Malone, told us that to keep us from making a
stupid mistake and voting wrong, you had simply voted to deny us the right
to vote. David Malone
we remember you protecting us from our stupidity.
Your plan, David Malone was to go with the plans of Swindler
Clay Johnson, Real Estate Predator Neal Hatcher and their associate Jim
Kalb to buy the old Martings Building the second time (after the court had
overturned the first purchase because it was a crooked deal), and spend 12
to 15 million dollars in re-constructing the old department store into
luxury offices for the city officials and executives. Your plan included denying us
citizens any vote yes or no on this project we would be paying for over
the next twenty to thirty years in increased real estate tax for bonded
indebtedness.
David Malone, we have many more reasons not to trust
you.
You are hurting yourself with this Un-Godly decree more than
you are hurting Charles Horner or others.
Your God gave us the right to speech and our United States
Constitution guarantees this God-given right. Your actions are Un-Godly, Fascist
or Nazi.
We predict Charles Horner will use your actions, your words,
not his, to show the citizens why they should remove you from your present
position.
David
Malone, this is just a friendly letter to let you know you can’t run thru
the fire without getting burned.
And, we are not attacking you. There are many more things in your
official history such as the new 18% increase on water fees we could write
about, as you know, but we are not going to mention them
tonight.

“But
it is Second Ward councilman David Malone who takes the cake when it comes
to hypocrisy. This so-called
man
of god stood on the steps of the Municipal Building
in
June of 2005, denouncing the nameless forces of evil
that
were hovering over Portsmouth.
He
didn’t name them, of course, because he is the
adulterous
tool of the crooks who control Portsmouth
and in particular of real-estate predator Neal
Hatcher.
So why would he name them?
I
captured on tape Malone’s performance, as well as his
wife
parading at the foot of the stairs talking in tongues
in a documentary Recall, which is available at
the
Portsmouth Public Library and the Shawnee State

This hypocritical minister of the
gospel was not only
betraying
the people of Portsmouth on the City Council,
he was also carrying on an affair with a female
employee
of the Portsmouth Municipal Housing
Authority,
the same public agency where his wife works.
Underemployed males who have trouble finding real
jobs
find
it helps to have wives who work for us in the public
sector. There is an adage
“Don’t get involved sexually with people you work
with.” It
needs to be amended for Rev. Malone:
“Don’t
get involved sexually with people your wife works
with in the public sector, not unless you want to
jeopardize your main source of income.”
His
affair, or affairs, is not only a violation of a
Commandment
of the religious faith Malone claims to
