Pickerington Area Taxpayers Alliance

No Thank You

Mark,

I'm glad you read ''come together'' too, I would prefer not to come together with you at this time since I have seen you plead with PATA to get Mrs. Oakes to talk to you...and then you are on this mission to blame her for everything that is wrong in the community. (I am preparing to post the CEDA document now and I still cannot find her name on it anywhere)

When the bi-polar like behavior stops, and you are not looking to pick on everyone, and you begin to stop urging and requiring people to hire an attorney to defend their free speech, and you will make positve efforts to make this a better community without all the methodology of attacking and blaming individuals, then you will really come together. You see your best efforts get lost in your growing reputation of digging and hurting. You have a lot to offer, but you must realize it is being discarded by many because of your other efforts to destroy the reputations of certain people in the community. I think you are free to disagree with them and their actions and express such, but statements like POISON OAKE etc, etc, are way out of line, just state your diagreement in matter of fact terms!

You have disgusted me and others on many occasions, yet I still did not give up thinking you will come around someday. I encourage others to work with you if they choose to....I will not until the possibility of you spreading hurt about me, or my family is gone either from your behavior or those associated with you and you know who I mean. I forwarn everyone, that good intentions are just that....You must walk the walk instead of talk the talk as I see here.

I'm glad I have a street corner with so many others, even you, because when I attempted the Kroger Referendum...I started out alone,knowing few people in the community but felt in my heart that they would support that effort. If we would have had this organization and forum at that time, maybe it would not have failed due to my obvious limitations, but would have suceeded with the synergy and intelligence of others that I do not have!

I'll look for the letter to the editor about me in the papers soon, from you.

Lisa, Lisa, Lisa, Lisa


Lisa,

Wow. You?’re recent discussion (No Thank You) was a bit nasty. Nothing like the pot calling the kettle black ?….

I?’m most impressed with your term bi-polar like behavior.

I was touch by your hope that ?‘I would come around someday?’. That is so very sweet of you.

Let me understand you correctly. PATA welcomes all opinions ?… except from individuals that believe Mrs. Gail is the worst Pickerington School Board member we have had in the last twenty years.

I hate to be the first to tell you, but there are a lot of folks that agree with me. It may come as a surprise to you, but my number one personal mission this year is to rid our school board of Gail Oakes. We will have a much better community and school district. It is that simple. If you didn?’t like the letter to the editor, just wait for more ?‘information?’ to come out about Mrs. Oakes?’ record on our school board. I guess we all will just have to wait until November to see who is right?… you or me?

Should I be encouraging the scores of individuals whose reputation Mrs. Oakes has ruined and the suffering she has caused scores of families within our community to post notes on your website too?

Again, it is your website. Let?’s just try to be a bit nicer. Okay, Lisa?

Info on performance welcome

Mark,

If you want to post Gail's record and discuss such I think you should do so in an appropriate manner. Keep in mind that if I choose to post an item about the Canal Schools, or the traffic on SR 256, please hesitate from finding a way to blame her for those problems too.

I have observed several of your missions last year. The first was to get Debbie Carlier to resign as president of the school board, and you presented a draft letter about such to the attendees at the first PATA public meeting. Unknown to you at that time Mrs. Carlier, her mother, Bruce Rigelman, Gail Oakes and Mr. Yocum decided to attend this meeting. I think you may have been embarassed and you lost your opportunity to present the letter to the press at the next school board meeting. I want you to know that PATA was criticized and still is being criticized for your letter at that meeting by members of the community who attended to see what we are about, and thought it in bad taste that your letter was passed out there. I know these people have not called you to tell you such on a daily basis, Bob and I bore the brunt of that one. We told these individuals that this was your personal idea to pass this letter out and not part of the PATA presentation but the damage was done. Now I notice you are singing Mrs. Carlier's praises and encouraging others to do so. I wonder about this 180 degree turn in support often.

The second was to bring to the public's attention the email behavior of Bruce Rigelman. This received a lot of press and legal manuevers on your part were intitated. I told you at the time that I thought it was the business of Bank One to discipline Mr. Rigelman if they thought he had broken company policy with his email traffic. I also told you that I thought you were diverting attention away from the Levy issue needs which should have been in the headlines. Instead, your personal crusade to point out wrong actions by others associated with the schools was in the news. Fortunately, you backed off when told by ''some of your aquaintences''... who took the time to talk to you about it, that most people could care less about how he uses his email and requested that you get off the front page so our school issues that would be in front of the voters could be examined.

Now it is Gail's turn to be in your sights. I hope you remember the Alice Robbie Resinck situation and realize that sometimes negative does not win. Choose your words carefully. Perhaps if Mrs. Oakes is re-elected, I can witness another 180 degree turn on your support for her too, just like we have seen with Mrs. Carlier.
