Former Cleveland mayoral candidate Ken Lanci went full on Good Samaritan last month when he apparently paid for the medical treatments of two complete strangers while vacationing in the Dominican Republic.
From what we gather via WOIO, Lanci and his wife were seeking care at a private clinic after she came down with particularly vicious bout of food poisoning, when they met a Pittsburgh couple and a Canadian man who were unable to meet the clinic’s strict up front payment policy.
The Pittsburgh couple didn’t have enough money on their Visa to cover an emergency surgery needed for the husband, and the Canadian man didn’t have access to the funds he needed to pay for a lung medication. The Lancis rallied and offered to spot the distraught patients, covering all expenses so they could get the care they needed.
Since returning from abroad (and ditching the food poisoning), the Lancis have been paid back in full by both parties.

Ken is a quality person of high integrity — and, sadly, it’s the reason why he has been unsuccessful in his political bids.
I totally agree with LakeErieSeaGulls post. In Today;s corporate world it is hard to find a person who will go to bat for the little guy I voted for Mr Lanci in the Mayoral race and would do it again if he should choose to run for any kind of office in the futrure
Is this the same Kenneth lanci who was president of Aissur, Inc? If so, him and Judi Lanci lied and Judi lancy filed bankruptcy and most every thing in the bankruptcy papers were a lie. Shame on both of them. So much for such a good guy.
