The Goldman Hearing is set for May 15 at 9 a.m. at 6606 Tussing Road Reynoldsburg, OH.

If the respondent makes no request for a hearing about the charges, the case goes for a “Goldman Hearing” before a neutral hearing examiner. In this type of hearing, the State is given an opportunity to prove its case, but the respondent is not permitted to present evidence since the respondent waived the right to do so, by failing to timely deliver a request for hearing. After the Goldman hearing, a report about the merits or non-merits of the charges is prepared by the hearing examiner.

What this means: Motel One was issued a summons. They did not respond. Thus, they have been issued a subpoena to appear at this hearing.

The hearing is OPEN to the public

From Pam Reeves of The Peacekeeper Blockwatch

Hello Everyone!

I sincerely thank each and everyone of you for coming out to stand up for our community on Saturday and take a stand against the establishment, Motel One. I do not know what the outcome is going to be yet, but I know for sure that our voices have been heard.

Together, we are making an enormous difference in not just how our community is taking on a new and improved appearance, but, also, how our community is looking to those who live outside our community. When we first started taking our neighborhoods back, hardly a night went by, on the news, where you would not hear, “the East side this, the East side (Main St. ) that.” It has been a long time since we have hit the news in a negative light and that is true progress.

More information to follow soon!
Pam
