SLCG Part IV : Harry's Hooked

Former 911 Director Harry Williamson HOOKED!

Katie discusses the quid pro quo that created the 911/ Radio Controversy that has plagued Lorain County the last three years.

In April of 2021 individuals and organizations colluded and conspired to misuse Lorain County American Rescue Plan Dollars.

These conspirators used associations, unions, political organizations, safety forces, a consulting firm, media, other public servants and citizens to create a false narrative all to mislead the public in order to award a multi million dollar contract to Cleveland Communications Inc.; which they did 18 months later on their last day in power, knowing the contract was going to be rescinded.

Why? To create the hot mess express here in Lorain County. To politicize the safety forces for their own interests.

As one character in this circus said when denied his bribe of 10% to ensure contract, then just submit a higher bid, "because there were a number of people to get paid and the higher bid would be accepted".

The sad part it was... after fighting 18 months and the last day in control two commissioners awarded CCI contract.

After rescinding the contract, less than two weeks later, the lawfare against the citizens/taxpayers of Lorain County began.

Over the last 3 years these characters have spent/cost Lorain County tax payers well over a million dollars on settlements & suits.

Katie discusses the beginning, the quid pro quo and the connections to bigger STATE ISSUES like HB6 - FirstEnergy bailout and restaurateur Tony George.

Tony George has moved on from FirstEnergy and is focused on Lorain County.

How does this connect to radios..... TUNE IN.
