Dale Mallory Cleans Out W.E.C.C. Bank Account Four Months After Impeachment

West End Group Demands Police Investigation of Dale Mallory
Cincinnati Business Courier
By Dan Monk, Senior Staff Reporter

“Leaders of the West End Community Council are asking Cincinnati police to investigate Dale Mallory, the brother of Cincinnati Mayor Mark Mallory and a Democratic candidate for the 32nd District seat in the Ohio House of Representatives.

Neighborhood activists, meantime, are asking Cincinnati's City Council to investigate Mallory's work for the Cincinnati Empowerment Corp., a federally funded poverty-fighting agency that engaged Dale Mallory as a consultant last spring."

The investigation of the Cincinnati Empowerment Corporation has been well known to the loyal readers of the Impeach Mallory Blog.

The police investigation is breaking news. And boy ain't that juicy…

“West End Community Council Treasurer Maggie Moon is asking police to investigate the withdrawal of $1,119 from the group's bank account June 1, more than three months after Dale Mallory was impeached as the group's president. Moon said Mallory has refused to turn over financial records, but the group recently obtained from National City Bank a $1,000 check, authorized by Mallory, to the West End YMCA. Another check, for $119, went to an individual.”

My sources tell me that Dale Mallory cleaned out the entire account. $1,119 was all that was left at that point (no telling what checks he cut in the preceding three months).

For the record, Dale Mallory was impeached and removed from the office of President of the West End Community Council in February. Four months later, in June, Dale Mallory is still using the Community bank account to cut his checks. Instead of turning over the records and accounts, he spent the money and closed it out.

At times like this, even I can’t seem to comprehend how much of an idiot that Dale Mallory is. I can’t take it any longer. Let’s get to Dale’s response:

“Mallory told the Courier that the money was for an arts program at the YMCA. He said the expenditures were authorized by the community council in February. Moon claims there was no such vote and the money should not have been withdrawn.”

Here is a little reminder. Dale Mallory did not preside over the February meeting. In fact, that was the very meeting that he was impeached. No other business was covered at the February meeting. News crews were there to cover it. Channel 12 had cameras rolling. The Enquirer had reporters covering the event. It would be very easy to prove that this never happened. You could check the Channel 12 tape and ask their reporters. You could ask the Enquirer reporter, Alan Howard. You can also check the minutes of the WECC. It didn’t happen and it can be proven.

In February Dale was impeached, he wasn’t authorizing funding to anyone. In January Dale started out the meeting declaring that no motions or votes would be taken, and none were. In December Dale started out the meeting declaring that no motions or votes would be taken, and he walked out after protest about CityLink. Not one of these meetings had a motion or discussion about the YMCA or the disbursement of WECC funds. Dale Mallory is an idiot and a liar.

What Dale Mallory has done is both illegal and criminal. He has spent the WECC money and closed the account four months after he was impeached. I can’t see how he would not be brought up on criminal charges for these offenses. It is not his money, and he had no authority.

The article then details some of the circumstances and events of Dale Mallory and the CityLink Center, which is funded by Crossroads Community Church. Crossroads is planning a Wal-Mart sized 100,000 square foot homeless mall in the West End, right across the street from three schools and a playground. The facility will cater to the homeless; the mentally ill, drug addicts, and it will also have a substantial prison pre-release program.

The West End was furious about Mallory’s collaboration with CityLink, which he consistently denied…

“Activists in the West End and surrounding neighborhoods have opposed the CityLink initiative for months. They claim Mallory helped to promote the project by keeping the West End Community Council from voting against the initiative. Recently, the group obtained through a public records request copies of Mallory's invoices to the Empowerment Corp. The records show Mallory met with CityLink organizers more than a dozen times between September 2005 and January 2006.”

So much for Mallory neutrality! He has denied the secret meetings in the past, but the Empowerment Corp. documents suggest otherwise. He was even meeting with CityLink after the December meeting, where the West End Community Council voted against the CityLink Center development bringing the mentally ill, convicts and drug addicts right next to our schools and our children. It is reprehensible. Not only did he meet with CityLink, he was paid to do it.

To sum it up:

1) Dale Mallory was cutting checks, siphoning all the funds, and closing down the West End Community Council bank account four months after he was impeached and removed from office.

2) Dale Mallory secretly met with CityLink a dozen times (even after his own community publicly voted against the project), and he was paid by the Cincinnati Empowerment Corporation to hold those meetings.

I am sure others will have other takes and nuggets, but this is big news. If we have justice in this town, Dale Mallory will be doing the perp walk in cuffs. Dale Mallory is a criminal.
