The Lies by "Bo":
Bo Lied to the public on 3-October-2023 when in the council meeting when he said at the 14:00 mark:
“one of the safest communities anywhere”.
“one of the safest communities anywhere in this world”.
"One of the safest communities anywhere"

What's wrong with Bo?
Lots...
1) Claims to listen to the public but doesn't.
I started my activism for a Better Reading 4 years ago when I had some felony thefts in and around my house. I got nowhere with the Reading Police, so I escalated to Bo,,,, crickets....Completely ignored my requests and then BLAMED ME! calling me a whiner, complainer, etc..... Remember, I was a victim of these felony burglaries.
Even the detective was frustrated with the lack of equipment he had. So I silently tracked crime in Reading, talking to victims, police officers, etc...
What I discovered launched me into an activist.
What I realized is the Mayor is in denial, his hired gun, Patrick Ross is incompetent and so is the Police Chief Edens. So many officers have left RPD its startling.. .they all leave for one reason: Chief Edens is disliked by many, especially the patrol officers. I've complained to Edens personally about crime, but its all ignored.
We all need to stand up and demand better policing, better government.
We need crimes solved in Reading.....
2) Absolute power corrupts, Absolutely!
Found out 4 years ago Bo has been the Mayor for 20 years, mostly runs unopposed and hires family in key positions (Bonnie Rack) and has 3 members of his family on council.
So nothing gets done unless Bo wants it.
-- see the reference to the Mob Boss "Mob Boss Mentality"... you have to Kiss the Ring to get things done. I have first hand experience with this. Gangster mentality --no kidding.
3. Bo steals from the city himself and also allowing family and friends to steal from the city.
Bo uses the Fieldhouse and so do his friends for the own benefit without paying rent whilst citizens have to pay $35/hr with a deposit and contract. Bo never had to sign a contract, never had to pay along with his friends. This theft has been going on for years and years. Safety Service Director Patrick Ross also uses the fieldhouse for their own personal use, without paying.
4. Unethical/illegal activities by Bo (Public Corruption)?
Bo appointed 3 folks to the board to run the Civil Service Commission of the City of Reading. Bo then came to the commission with a candidate for the open position as Secretary, his sister, Bonnie Rack. That's right, Bo only presented a single candidate to the commission. Nobody else.
The 3 member commission then hired his sister Bonnie Rack as its lone secretary of the City of Reading Civil Service Commission. Which is a cushy city job with a pension. Nobody else was even considered for the position.. She has been in that role for nearly 20 years..... Nepotism in Ohio is illegal. Violates The Ohio Ethics Law, which includes prohibitions against nepotism, is a criminal statute. I know plenty of people who would have loved to have applied for that position but never got the chance.... completely illegal.
The very important Civil Service Commission makes all hiring decisions for the City, so you can see how its now impartial and stacked with Bemmes family members and friends.
This is a 4th Degree Felony in Ohio -- a very serious crime.
See Ohio Ethics on Nepotism:
https://ethics.ohio.gov/education/factsheets/NepotismFAQ.pdf
Now, I'm not faulting Bonnie Rack, completely, as she is probably just a pawn in Bo's posse and probably never knew she was being planted in a key role for ALL city hires. But I do think she and Bo should resign immediately. Its clearly an illegal hire, nepotism at its best.
I wonder how many people have been hired by the City who are family or close personal friends of Bo and Bonnie's? That investigation has just begun.
Here are the facts:
1)Bonnie Rack is a city employee and has been for nearly 20 years as "Secretary" of the Civil Service Commission.
2) Bonnie rack was hired by the the commission, which was hand picked/staffed by Bo himself, called the Civil Service commission.
3) Bo only submitted one person for that paid position and it was his sister, Bonnie Rack. So the commission hired her based on Bo's recommendation and submission.
4) Nobody else was interviewed, considered or even discussed as a candidate , other than his sister, Bonnie. Bo submitted her and her alone.
5) She got the job as some folks on the commission didn't know her maiden name was Bemmes and Bo never told them (or at least some of them) she was his sister. He hid this fact.
This is a called Nepotism and is a Felony 4 in Ohio with jail time and serious crimes.
5. Ignores Crime
Just look how others view Reading with the crime statistics bringing us down:
"The crime rate in Reading is considerably higher than the national average across all communities in America from the largest to the smallest, although at 26 crimes per one thousand residents,"

6. Patrick Ross is a disgrace.
I've personally complained about a HUGE pothole on Reading Road, at the corner of Galbraith and Reading. My tenants have been complaining for months, yet it took months and months for this to be filled. All the while Ross filled many other smaller holes around the area. He left this HUGE, 5ft, 10in deep hold unfilled for months.
I felt this was clearly retaliation for me complaining about the Police and other issues in the city.
He has never returned my many calls and I've asked for his services a number of times regarding building inspections, electrical inspections. He routinely retaliates against me by ignoring my requests, or delaying an email response for days, sometimes weeks. I'm amazed anything gets done in Reading for any business as I've heard complaints from other small business owners as well, all complaining about Ross and his incompetence and inadequate responses.
Ross does NOT meet my expectations and we all should speak out.. Ask more from our local government!!!!
