Lets Look at the Community advisory group

http://swcs.wordpress.com/category/community-advisory-group/
Stephen Torsell : Homes on The Hill executive director: Instrumental in Obtaining mortgages for people that shouldn't have received them and then complains about the Housing foreclosures on the Hilltop. The same exact people who ran these places into the ground,” the private companies paid to build and manage the city’s affordable housing, “now are profiting by redeveloping them. Owns a House since 2006 in Meadow grove $291,000 purchase price. How many Mexican and poor families did he make money off of and now cries about foreclosures. All the while receiving tax payer funding. Columbus Version Of Acorn. He has done well for himself working for a non-profit 501c. Still investigating his ties. More to come about Mr.Torsell.
Mr.Torsells "Homes on the Hill" Is funded by "National Council of La Raza" that is funded by the "Tides" foundation formerly known as the "Weather underground" If you are not familiar with who they are try google. They are a terrorist organization that blew up the Pentagon in the 1970s with strong ties to "Wayne Rathke" Who is Wayne Rathke? Try Googleing Acorn and the Tides foundation. They are 1960s radical hippies plotting to turn the U.S. into Cuba under Obama. All the info is there for the googleing. The Democrats are in support of Issue 47? No more tax money for Acorn.
Update: Daryl Hennessy (president Homes on The Hill) Owns a landscaping business.http://www.hennessylandscaping.com/
Does he employ Illegals? Council them on how to become a homeowner? While receiving a paycheck from Homes on the hill (Taxpayer, Nclr, Tides Foundation funded). I didn't realize the West side of Columbus had so-many unrepresented Hispanics in 1993 when these people appeared or did they show up first? This man has Political aspirations.http://www.facebook.com/pages/Daryl-Hennessy/18488838162
I will be keeping an eye on Him. Any Journalists want to look into "Homes on the Hill" and its people. When you find poor uneducated people you will also find "Community Organizers" to exploit them.

Steve Isaac : Insurance Software consultant, Lobbyist? I really cant tell what he does. He owns 2 houses in the district (very expensive houses) I bet they really need a levy to pass hoping to regain value they lost on these investments. The payments must be killing them. He recommended (lobbied) the formation of the advisory group and appointed himself. Was the executive director at BWC under the Voinovich administration.

David Riddle : Engineer/Attorney Works as an attorney for construction companies and school districts that use construction companies. Wow no conflict of interest there. Just whats best for the community and his pocket.

Jennifer Faison-Hodge : She has a PHD and she plans to bring diversity to the district and better communication? I thought the administrator list had people making big bucks already assigned for diversity and communication.

David Lucas : Purchased his home 2005 $224,000
"My reason for participating in the Community Advisory Group is very simple. I believe that we have no greater obligation than to educate our children and allow them to reach their fullest potential. Prior to joining this group, I had never met any of the school board members or administration. I hope to learn about the issues from both the community and the district, and utilize my professional experience to offer some fresh ideas on how to meet the challenges that are currently facing our communities.” Project management, strategic planning, and financial management in the heavy industrial construction industry. Has lived in the district 4 years. I have a project for him to manage. Manage the district with the money that the district receives. The levy supporters keep chanting "We need to get the word out about the levy" as if the voters haven't heard their whining enough the last 3 times we voted it down. They really think that saying the same thing over and over will make it come true. We hear you and the answer is "NO"

What a list of contestants. First I would like to thank the school board for selecting such a fine group to try and help communicate the issues of the district and educate all us poor uneducated taxpayers because we are just too stupid to understand that we are supposed to vote yes because they said so! I want to know where are the seniors on the group? Oops forgot them. I also want to know where are the residents that make $50,000 or less and that don't live in a $200,000 dollar home. I guess the board didn't have any room for them uneducated poor people. How about a military veteran or two? couldn't find any of those. This district puts together a community advisory group and loads it with elitists and expects them to know what it is like to struggle to survive and buy medicine. Vote NO! again and again and again. I welcome any questions and comments from anyone.

  3. I would like to correct some mis-information in the above blog. David Riddle, while he IS an attorney, does NOT work for a law firm. He works as an engineer. Also, you asked about Veterans? I think you should check your facts a little closer...he IS a veteran, Capt US Air Force (resigned). I am also curious, how many seniors volunteered for the Community Advisory Board? How many people that make $50,000 a year volunteered to be on the Community Advisory board? My guess is none because they didn't want to put the time into the board. I know that this Community Advisory Board has been meeting twice a month for several hours a month trying to look come up with reasonable suggestions to make to the School Board. Never mind their meeting time, they spend time outside of the meeting working on gathering information, reading information, attending school board meetings, meeting with school board members. How many of you are willing to make that same sacrifice?

  4. The information on Mr. Riddle came straight from the district to the local press. If you get a chance look at the requirements for the advisory group. They set the bar pretty high for any community. Mr.Riddle nor the district made no mention of his military experience.Here is a quote
    "His most recent legal practice includes working with a number of public entities such as school districts". Where is the mis-information? Nowhere does anyone say he works for a law firm.
