Clark County = 87,597
Springfield Township = 9,147
Springfield (city) = 30,556

In the November 2023 election, Tracey Tackett won her City Commission seat with ~7K votes. O'Neill got ~4K.

The important takeaway here is that Springfield is a town of citizens who are either scared or have given up. They know fighting a mafia is next to impossible.

The Don Does Love to Refer to all the Answers He Provides

In Commission meetings, Rue and The Don mention repeatedly and without fail how they will provide answers in the next couple of days on the Q&A page of the website. The Q&As are posted at the link below. I've provided an example at the time I'm typing this in June 2025. The most recent and SINGLE answer was from April 8, 2025. They supplied a link to a Federal Reserve Economic Data website.

Treasure map:

I had to search for the word "answers" to find the page. It is not linked in the City Commission section of the website.
Click on Quick Links in the top right corner of any page.
Go to the bottom of that page and click on "News and Announcements".
Scroll to a block that says "Community Q&A".
The actual link is this (hardly searchable): https://springfieldohio.gov/commission-meeting-qa/

I'm typing this on June 25th, 2025 and the last answer posted was April 8th. (I link to the PDF in a Commission Meeting Recap.) The Don allowed one question to be posted here asking what the unemployment rate is in Springfield. For the answer, he allowed a minion to post a link to the Federal Reserve Economic Data: https://fred.stlouisfed.org.

This isn't an actual resource, but an example. (If you can make any sense of any of The Don's answers in an actual meeting, you are a better interpreter than I. I can't make him make sense, and I'm sure that's how he wants it.

The Jan 2025 New Meeting Rules are Just "Guidelines"

Only in a police state or a city so obviously run by a Syndicate.

They have absolutely no police authority to pick and choose who they kick out of meetings.

The Don and the Mayor have made feeble attempts to spin their reason for the new "rules" - that they want to make sure more voices are heard.

What has actually happened is this: People have been threatened, mocked, ignored, insulted, called names, shamed, blocked, harassed, manhandled, etc. Anything an abuser does to their abused.
