AUDIENCE PARTICIPATION Tom Dubowski, 5758 Wellesley said Mr. Lambert used his name at the March 3rd Council meeting during his "rant" against Mr. Gareau. After the meeting, Lambert stopped him in the parking lot and apologized to him for using his name. Then a story appeared on cleveland.com, and in his comment he posted to that story he used Dubowski's name again. Dubowski said he was Chairman of the Charter Review Commission in 2000. They did their job over several months and forwarded suggested changes to the Administration. At no time did the Commission have any contact with Mr. Gareau, and at no time did Mr. Gareau have any counsel with the Commission. He told Lambert from now on never to use his name again in any comments concerning his feud with Mr. Gareau or regarding any other subject. 5
