Spies? The Players and City of Lorain Politics

Some maybe aware  that I  am an administrator of a face book page  City  of Lorain Politics.

https://www.facebook.com/groups/564407974518417

I am not really  comfortable with  face book . It is hard to  format   so  I  am copying here a post from today  with  the ongoing situation in Building , Housing and Planning in the City  of Lorain . I know it is safe here  and not subject to  FB decisions.

NOTE ALL DOCUMENTATION HAS BEEN OBTAINED THROUGH PUBLIC RECORDS REQUEST  FROM THE  CITY  OF LORAIN 

You see I have a problem with people who bully and spy and lie…especially if my tax dollars are paying them.
February 18th 2020. was the day Mr Steve Campbell was up for the job in Building Housing and Planning with the backing of Max Upton. Remember the Stevo text ( pictured)
 NOTE TO  THOSE READING  and not knowing the back story   THIS TEXT WAS WAS SENT TO  A MEMBER  OF MAYOR BRADLEY’S ADMINISTRATION BY THE THEN SAFETY/ SERVICE DIRECTOR  MAX UPTON .  THE  ” F$#% ERS  MENTIONED WERE THE  MEMBERS OF THE CIVIL SERVICE COMMISSION.
  This text was obviously, according to the time line, sent during the Civil Service Commission meeting
during the discussion as it is  sent at 5.31 pm when Kellie Glenn, the then Director of  Building Housing and Planning ,  was not in favour of that appointment Civil Service Commission Meeting of February 18 2020 at 5:00 pm . You can access the minutes of that contentious meeting . https://www.cityoflorain.org/261/Civil-Service-Commission
I want to make it clear I have had very little to do with Ms Glenn . I dealt mainly with Mr. Leon Mason the former Director of Building, Housing and Planning  , but I know who she was.
I am particularly aggrieved that anyone in a work place is spied upon
… and this started back in late 2019 when the wheeling and dealing and the stirring of who was going to be Mayor in the city  of Lorain, due to  the unexpected  leaving of then Mayor Ritenauer  and the positioning .. they played their long game pretty well..
Drew Crawford, already working for BHP in a lesser capacity than now??? started his “log ‘ (late 2019) on his boss Kellie Glenn secretly , these logs were sent to  Max Upton  the Safety  Service Director appointed by  the new Mayor Jack Bradley
 see photo… dates  important
In deference to Ms. Glenn I have removed the comments and gripes about her.she has had enough I would would think .
Now it was the time around the non hiring of Steve Campbell that Mr Crawford ( I hesitated not to call him “Crawlie Crawford) then sent an email to Mr. Upton and copied it to Jack Bradley ( before the Feb 18th meeting) are we connecting the dots yet?? See Drew’s email February 7th ….
Now we also know Joel Jacovetti sent his spymaster his information the day before Mr Crawford February 6th 2020 and going by his log dates he was also playing Uptons and perhaps Bradley’s long game
…… who am I to comment , but you may think that … The taxpayer is always playing catch up….
You see this was all very well planned ,in my considered opinion.. for what it is worth… …they were positioning and hey they got those positions….
and the day after that meeting where Kellie Glenn stood up and refused to be played ( in my opinion) with that meeting at the Civil Service Commission February 18th ..the very next morning February 19th … Upton requested of the HR dept….. a template for Insubordination…
and he got one all he had to do is fill in the blanks …NOTE I have cut the top of the letter to remove Ms Glenns personal address etc. but it is dated February 19th after that meeting .
And then Ms. Glenn who had filed charges of Racial Bias etc resigned…. who  would blame her , maybe she wasn’t being paranoid , at least two  in her department were  taking down whatever she did.. on whose orders…..? and low and behold Max Upton  then is moved from his “appointed Safety  / Service Directors position  to  Ms. Glenn’s  Civil Service protected position.. ironic or planned…. after all it is Building , Housing and PLANNING
” Upton’s move comes just weeks after a settlement agreement was reached between the city and Building, Housing and Planning Director Kellie Glenn. In March, Glenn filed charges with the Ohio Civil Rights Commission and the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission alleging racial bias within the city. https://chroniclet.com/…/changes-coming-to-lorain-city…/
I would leave too.. and then in that same article!!!!  Surprise the Ritenaur Administration, who left this void of leadership  by leaving for the private sector  apparently   did NOT hire Mr. Upton when he applied to them…..smart move….. but the long game was well played by this time….”
Under former Mayor Chase Ritenauer, Upton had applied for a position in the city’s Building, Housing and Planning department, but he was not hired at the time”
and Mayor Bradley well…… according to him as to hiring Upton :
““I want to see some things moving forward out of that department,” he said. “I think we’re going to go in a completely different direction.”
Well Mayor  Bradley was right we have had under  Uptons “direction”  zoning fiascos, not knowing when is a permit a permit or when is a park a park..and moving right down into the BASEMENT..   and that segues  back to   the series on St. Joes.. more to  come on that..
and who is paying for the fence and who is doing that clean- up any bids on that?? Watch this space…
UPDATE NOV 11TH  AND WE NOW KNOW THANKS TO  THE CHRONICLE TELEGRAM  THAT WE WILL BE PAYING FOR THE FENCE:  THANK YOU  CHRONICLE FOR THE FOLLOW THROUGH
