It didn’t even take a day for the Pee Dee to setup the next pillage and plunder of Cleveland.
Listen to what the Pee Dee said editorially the day after the casino issue, strongly backed by the paper, had to say about the use of its tax revenue:
“So consider this idea, which is already germinating among downtown boosters (read: looters): Divert some of the new property taxes the casino will pay – from the city’s share, not the school district’s – to complete the Towpath Trail and Canal Basin Park, to redesign Public Square and to add pocket parks, waterfront access and other residential enhancements.”
Forget about Imperial Avenue. Forget about all the Cleveland Imperial Avenues.
Let’s spend a few more million on a bike path and redo Public Square. Again.
Just read the intention of this proposal. You will see a community looting being pushed by the Pee Dee.
This is what the Pee Dee – acting as front for the Greater Cleveland Partnership and its corporate thugs – wants to do with any revenue that might come to the city from the casino. Disgusting.
Can you believe it?
How insensitive is that on the day following the discovery of multi-murders and a city police force and government that allowed what happened on Imperial Avenue to happen. As the bodies are being ushered out.
Ms. Goldberg and the editorial staff of the Pee Dee, have you no shame?
To whom do you owe allegiance – certainly not to the people of Cleveland? Certainly not to those in dire need.
Here you are already spending tax dollars, the result of a sickening monopoly casino, on the trinkets you want for downtown.
My God, when does it stop?
