? Question of the DAY?? Who the hell is J. Duncan Shorey?

Submitted by lmcshane on Mon, 05/25/2015 - 07:33.

The Greater Cleveland Partnership will have you believe Frank Jackson has been good for Cleveland based on improvements seen downtown, but let's review some of the big ticket projects hatched under Frank Jackson as Mayor.

For some bizarre reason - the unraveling and brilliant detective work that solved the cold-blooded murder of 5 people on Cleveland's east side - gets very little media attention:

HUD monies being used to displace Disabled Seniors - take away their homes

Submitted by lmcshane on Tue, 04/21/2015 - 09:13.

 

Above photo is Mr Santos - who is being harassed by City of Cleveland through the fake CDC SCFBC (Stockyard Clark Fulton Brooklyn Centre) - 400 homes in the eastern portion of Brooklyn Centre received code enforcement letters w/deadline for improvements in May 2015.  No one from this fake CDC office has offered to help this senior meet compliance.

This week - Steven Litt and Michelle Jarboe extolled 20+ years work by attorney Anthony Coyne on City of Cleveland Planning Commission - what they don't mention is the FACT that his law firm benefited to the tune of $400 million dollars in the inflated settlement for the Cold Storage Bldg.  

There had to be more transactions, in which his position at Planning Commission helped prime work for his law firm.

GUNS

Submitted by lmcshane on Wed, 04/01/2015 - 08:05.

These guns were found on a 9 year-old boy and a 5 year-old boy-  purchased, in this case, I would have to assume, by a "parent." 

I would like to know: what merchandiser in CLE is selling this "toy."

I would have to assume Walmart - and surprise - out-of-stock : http://www.walmart.com/ip/Airsoft-eZterminator-Black/24017577

Cumberland vs CLE = carefree car-free

Submitted by lmcshane on Sun, 03/08/2015 - 13:21.

Winter 2015 has been an especially hard one.  I considered travel to FL, TX or even Puerto Rico for some sun, but was put off by having to travel by plane.  When the weather in familiar Cumberland, MD promised to break temperatures higher than 30 degrees, I chose train travel to the Queen City.

Cleveland as World Class Destination

Submitted by lmcshane on Wed, 03/04/2015 - 09:07.

For Cleveland to thrive as a world class destination - we have to get a handle on Cleveland-in-Winter. Our community should not come to a standstill with winter weather. We suffer from a surfeit of planners and yet no one has considered snow storage and removal in all of the many plans generated for this town?

Across the Buckeye State, trails provide opportunities for a healthy lifestyle, boost local economies, and provide a safe way to connect people and places. Ohio’s trails are an important resource—and your senators know it, too.

 With all of the entrenched BS artists in CLE - it is refreshing to encounter young professionals determined to get recognition for significant cultural landmarks that matter to our local history.  Please support their efforts.

Only Little People pay taxes...

Submitted by lmcshane on Fri, 12/19/2014 - 08:53.
 Anyone remember who said the line "Only little people pay taxes" ?  I will come back to that question after you "google" the answer.  Well, evidently, the rule applies in Cuyahoga County, too.   Two politically-connected tax evaders are getting some attention this past week.

Epistemology.  How do you know what you know?  In the past, the print media controlled much of what we knew and our thought process on issues.  Has that changed with the Internet and citizen reporting?
