Does Maple Heights Government Really Care About Your Rights?

While we believe that the actions of the Mayor, Maple Heights City Council, and the law director violate the constitutional rights of the residents of District 5 (not allowing them to vote for their council representative), why is it that this group has also decided not to robocall the residents of District 5, telling them that their council representative has died, and that they are taking applications (until January 9th?) for that position (and that Maple Heights City Council will decide who their representative will be)?

Instead they posted the announcement of "taking applications" for the position in the Call and Post, etc.

There's quite a lot of seniors in District 5 who don't read newspapers or have access to a computer, or go to the Maple Heights Senior Center, or Maple Heights City Hall.

The Mayor has no problem robocalling Maple Heights residents about "Extreme Makeover"; or is it that this mayor, the law director, and the Maple Heights City Council don't give that much importance to the constitutional and other rights of certain residents?
