Being one of the signers of the "petition", it is an understatement to say Climaco has been attempting intimidation of us. Not only has he requested 13 different personal information items, of which the tax records-including ALL additional filed forms, federal, state and local, calendars and document any conversation we have had with anyone(including now this posting and other items in the subpeonas. But he has said publically he will seek, via law suit, all the costs for his legal fees from the lawful petitioners. Judging by the amounts he claims the bond needed to be posted, he asked for $100 million dollars, this law suit could be big! Better yet, he was never approved to be the attorney for the Auditors office, which by the way is what is being asked to audit not Mr. Russo. It is required that he be requested by both the Cuyahoga county prosecuter AND the Board of Commissioners to be appointed by the common pleas court to defend the auditors office. Fly in the ointment, the board of commissioners keep pulling the issue from their docket, so if the don't vote he doesn't get paid nor does he actually have status to issue the subpeonas nor anything else. I sure hope they show some sense and find another way to achieve what we all want(by all i mean residents and taxpayers of cuyahoga county) a effiecient operational audit of the auditor office and never approve climaco so he will be paid properly for the type of work he has been doing...my belief that would be $0.00 . If he is not acting in the manner his clients desire they shouldn't agree to pay him. If i ask a contractor to build a garage for me and he builds a swimming pool he has a problem getting paid. seems reasonable to me.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
