Theoretically - City of Cleveland has ordinance on books that would put electric wires underground - but that is too much work and when old poles rot, well then, CPP will replace, but has issues w/other stuff attached to their poles and this is the result -  GOOD ENOUGH!!

MOCA Cleveland recently hosted a Kevin Beasley performance at the Cozad House in University Circle.  

Originally - only ten people were to be part of a "cost-effective" staff - now look how many folks feed off this massive criminal enterprise.

 Does Gus Frangos and staff collect PERS, too ?

 The latest BS from Thriving Communities aka front for investors like Forest City - on the need for Cuyahoga County to issue bonds for more demolitions - would be that UNLESS the "Land Bank" folks don't demo EVERY frickin' vacant property in CLE - your property in ROCKY RIVER (where Rokakis lives) is/will continue to shoulder DISPROPORTIONATE burden of tax levys imposed in Cuyahoga County.  

Lively and informative community forum for District 9 County Council - special thanks to all of the candidates and to Kimberly Brown and Eric J. Brewer for making this happen.

From Henry Senyak:

 I suggest that everyone in Northeast Ohio - join Facebook and friend Eric Jonathon Brewer for an understanding of the land grab machine- and how Gary Norton played into their game: 

Fortune Magazine recently predicted that the market in NEO - will make Cleveland the "next" Brooklyn - break out real estate.  

Don't get too excited - the editors apparently don't know the difference between Columbus and Cleveland - their feature photo shows Columbus:
 

What new schools does Cleveland need? Where? How much more will residents have to pay? Cleveland school district seeks your input 

 Thank you to my neighbors who voted in the same crud who perpetuate the cycle of abandonment and parasitism we live with in NEO.  Federal funds can't pour into a region unless there is an entrenched class of citizens deemed "second class."  

Well - this is our future - warehousing our elderly and the offspring of any child considered less fortunate because they had the misfortune to be labeled "Urban."

Good luck with your investment strategies!!!

 Hello Residents of the City of Cleveland - you do have a choice.  

Please rid us of the corrupt "it is what it is..." mentality.  Get RID of Frank Jackson and Martin Sweeney - vote for transparency and accountability (at least there is a promise of something-anything better than the STATUS QUO).

 I have been asked to post Henry Senyak's letter to the Plain Dealer editors - some of you may recall that Henry Senyak actually tipped WOIO Channel 19 off to the hijinks of Russo and Dimora -well BEFORE the PD even began to unravel the obvious story:

Plain Dealer editorial choices for council are again - a joke.  I can't wait to read their "endorsement" for Sweeney.  What creative spin will they use this time???

Sickening.

Saturday - September 21, 2013 - 1:30 p.m.  West Side Market : Protestors at intersection of Lorain Ave. and West 25th.  See 350.org for more information on how you can help.

 I have posted this content to Citizen Dashboard category - in the Sunday Plain Dealer, editor Elizabeth Sullivan wants you to know that through the Northeast Ohio Media Group and the Plain Dealer and Cleveland.com (if you understand that evolution) - you have a greater opportunity to voice your opinion.

This blog post will chronicle and add some of the files that relate to the City of Cleveland's application for EPA funds and a "clean-up" at WC Reed Field.  SEE:

7 people decided that your money was better spent on dumping the Telling Mansion 

Trains share the corridor  with cyclists and pedestrians on the Great Allegheny Passage.

Meanwhile, in Northeast Ohio - there is one train trestle that separates the public from our lakefront.  Not such an insurmountable obstacle!!!

Why is it that anyone with delinquent property taxes in Cuyahoga County can continue to buy additional properties?  

Would you NOT think that delinquent tax status on any property would preclude a delinquent owner from buying a property from Fannie Mae?  

Well, it just happened in my neighborhood and this time the guy didn't even bother to camouflage his name with an LLC - like good old Lucky Ogor!

The media is largely ignoring the simmering council race in Ward 14 - focused on Eugene Miller and Jeff Johnson - another power play with Sweeney written all over it.  

But, the story on near west side is far more volatile with a history worth revisiting.  

See the historic editorials by Nelson Cintron and, at the time, Miriam Ortiz-Maldonado.

I was going to ride my bike and take my camera – but the rain looked imminent so I skipped both.  Instead, I was dropped off downtown amidst the hustle-and-bustle of the lunch time crowd at Tower City.  My destination was RTA to pick up my 5 ride tickets.
