Secondly, congratulations are in order to "We The People", and a great big thank you to all of the poll workers who sacrificed time to make certain that The People understood how to cast their vote. We also extend a monumental grateful heart to all the electors who braved the weather to vote on this extremely important question. This of course includes the NO voters. We believe that many who voted no did so because they bought into the deception that taxes will go up because of Gracedale…taxes in fact may go up at some point, but they will discover that it won’t necessarily be because of Gracedale.
While we don't want to accuse anyone of any intentional wrong doing, we found it however, a bit peculiar that the referendum question was positioned so low on the poll, almost out of sight. Without the poll workers the voters may have missed the question.
While the Gracedale sale proponents were said to be pinching each other to see if they were dreaming in “LA LA LAND”, they instead discovered they are “IN THE REAL WORLD” where The People want Gracedale in county hands.
Lastly, I applaud Mr. Cusick for his remark in the Express Times this morning:
“The county has to run Gracedale more effectively and more efficiently,” Cusick said. “I think this should be a message to (County Executive) John Stoffa that he needs to do a better job of running the place.”
in addition, I respectfully remind Mr. Cusick that it is his responsibility along with the rest of CC to insure that Stoffa does what the mandate calls him to do to prosper Gracedale, with the understanding that if he is incapapble or unwilling, then he (Stoffa) should resign and allow someone who can take over the helm. Refusing to resign Stoffa should be impeached by the County government body authorized to do so.
God Bless our HRC, our Constitution, our Judges, and America.
Rev. Mario Martinez

Spot on and in 100% agreement. No more mealy mouthed excuses by Stoffa, Angle or council. the people overwhelmingly said put your silly politics aside and do the job you were elected to do. if any of you are incapable of that please leave. there are many more talented individuals who can step in and make the facility work.
