Where are the Dale’s records?

Dale Mallory was President of the West End Community Council for five years. In February of this year, Dale Mallory was impeached and removed from his position of President by over 76% of the vote.

In March of this year, the West End Community Council undertook the process of rebuilding the Council from Dale’s shattered remains. Dale responded with lawsuits, suing over two dozen people in the process. The outcome of those lawsuits is no longer in question. One was withdrawn out of embarrassment. Dale Mallory faced a deposition where he had to go on record, and he withdrew his frivolous lawsuit. The other lawsuit was thrown out of court because it had no merit.

Dale Mallory has long claimed that he is still President of the West End Community Council, and that the court findings would bear that out. Dale Mallory has had his day in court, and his case got thrown out on its ass.

This leaves us with the simple fact that Dale Mallory has been legally removed from the West End Community Council. He tried to adjudicate his argument in our justice system, and that is his legal right as an American. When problems and conflict happen within our system we look to the courts to sort things out and make it right. Dale did that and lost because his case had no merit. That goose has been cooked.

Why am I restating this?

After the February meeting where Dale was impeached, he had decided to hold his own “Real” West End Community Council Meetings. The first one in March he cancelled either “due to the weather” or due to the fact that he lacks either legitimacy or credibility.

The second meeting in April was held at the West End YMCA, with a couple of his friends. He gives no public announcements to theses meetings, and they aren’t well attended. He sent Nate Livingston out with a bullhorn in April to try to drum up support, and they still had less than 10 people, and two of those were there just to keep a tab on what Dale was doing.

So here we are today in May. Dale’s lawsuits have either been abandoned or thrown out of court. No sane person still believes that he is still West End Community Council President. Does Dale Mallory still hold covert meetings? Nobody knows, because he doesn’t announce them. Does Dale still claim to be President? Who knows the color of the sky in Dale’s world?

What we do know is that Dale Mallory has failed to transfer any of the records of the West End Community Council to the new administration. All historical records are now and have always been the property of the West End Community Council. Dale Mallory is no longer a part of that, and they are not his property.

Some of the important records, like bank accounts, historical memberships lists, and so on are relevant and crucial to the proper functioning of the council. We don’t have them.

Someone needs to ask Dale:

Do you think you are still President of the West End Community Council?

If so, why?

If not, where are the records?

Dale Mallory was on the Board at Invest In Neighborhoods. He is a longtime friend of Gerald Tenbosch, who was Executive Director. Tenbosch managed the flow of funds from the City to the Community Councils, and he cut off West End funds before his recent resignation amid allegations of fraud and corruption, including his own indictment on felony charges.

The City administration is currently auditing Invest In Neighborhoods. To audit funds that are disbursed from INN you also have to check the community councils that receive the disbursements. No way around that. If they choose to audit funds from the West End Community Council, the West End Community Council will have to inform them the plain and simple truth: we have no access to any financial records. No bank accounts, no statements, no transactions, no anything for the last five years or more. How can you perform an audit? The people of this community are interested in what has happened to the funds and the membership dues, as well as any disbursements from Invest in Neighborhoods and the Empowerment Zone. We have no answers.

It is time for the City Administration to take a stand and demand the records that our own community council cannot commandeer.
