angelnward14 post to the Cleveland.com link http://www.cleveland.com/metro/index.ssf/2013/04/threat_of_law_suit_loom... .....gerrymandering again.....what is the key to their choices???? They are attempting to insure that every ward has enough quotas in it to sustain funding practices from HUD for CDBG funds and much more...it's a quota game.... if they screw it up...they lose those big funds which support the Community Development and Neighborhood Stabilization Programs...etc...

If you had a moment of time left to say your "GOODBYES" to someone notified of a terminal illness; what would you do with that opportunity? They say that there's five stages to death...denial, depression, bargaining, anger, and acceptance. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/K%C3%BCbler-Ross_model The grief that comes with this journey is absolutely inexplicable. I am personally knee deep in the process. My father has been diagnosed with Stage IV lung cancer... No matter what happens; the inevitable is smacking us in the face. I believe that the process is absolutely mind boggling.

I am appalled to have read someone's post relative to this subject outlining how sick they were of the "negativity" around them....Awwwwww

I'd just like to say this from my ignorant hillbilly perspective....

Men & Women of our nation, stand around the globe 24/7 defending and upholding democracy so you can sit on your lethargic, overweight asses and complain about how your day was disrupted by someone else's reality...which you received as negativity... Get a fricken grip and face the music of someone other than your selfish weasel behind's world.

<p>Dear City of Cleveland Leadership and Law Makers;</p>
<p>Your ongoing development towards achieving the 2020 Vision via the implemented Master Plans has resulted in countless illegal activities via the Building and Housing Department, Code Enforcement, and huge Housing Court Profits.&nbsp;It is my humble opinion that the racketeering effectuated via this process has resulted in our city's infinite decay.</p>

Praying for the Police Department and everyone involved in the City of Cleveland.

The rippling affects of this case will indefinitely transform our City.

Disregard for policy, danger to themselves, failure to control situation, supervisor failures, more investigation, evidence to be presented to Grand Jury by County prosecutor and so much more. The reactions by people to this situation may be a defining moment in the history of Cleveland, Ohio.

It's bad enough to drive down the streets and see the bulldozers demo'ing properties...but it's worse to see the truth be deleted.....another TREMONTER state of affairs, with lots of public input going to hell in a handbasket.

Plan your life, plan your  funeral, plan your escape, plan your methods of survival, plan plan plan....maybe it'll all come in handy. Then again, maybe it won't.  One thing's for sure; there are no guarantees in this world.

There's always going to be good vs evil. That's the ultimate inescapable reality of this life we all live.....Sad, but true. Ultimately, it's all a matter of opinion...which usually changes with the wind these days.....

For approximately a century, the Cleveland Justice System was ran under the gimmick of corruption, federal tax dollar quotafication and steering of political and fiscal resources to accomodate it's big business process. The people were used to get grants, to get more grants, and to keep growing this big business which then resulted in more patronage than is possible to imagine. The entire way that anyone associated with this Justice Center thinks is skewed, corrupt, and revolves around pay to play games.

How many ways can the people of our community be insulted by the corrupt attitudes that have discouraged standing up for what is right in our world? I hope these corrupt people begin to think twice before opening their mouthes in an attempt to intimidate the families of victims of social injustice.

Ward 14 has recently lost several residents to premature passings.

Winter brings lots of SAD people.....People affected by Seasonal Affective Disorder. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seasonal_affective_disorder

Imagine being a senior citizen limited in your resources to mobilize and get out and enjoy life at large.

Imagine being homebound and unable to get out and enjoy some fresh air.

Imagine the early darkness that consumes long days in the winter.

LOTS OF INFO TO DIGEST IN A SHORT PERIOD HERE ON REALNEO....

A Salute to U.S. District Ann Rowland...Thank you for your statement and work on behalf of the public at large! (Click these highlighted words to see the 2:49 minute statement that she shared on the day Dimora was sentenced!) 

This week, the local and national news exploited the fact that there are countless "GHOST FACTORIES" remaining in the Cleveland area which have left remnants of LEAD POISION in the GROUND which continues to adversely affect residents indefinitely due to bureacratic steering of responsibility.

Sex, drugs, and rock n roll.....the life in Cleveland that perpetuates the underground criminal industry....remains alive and well right under your nose in Cleveland.

Lessons learned only mean something if CHANGE is effectuated to prevent the same mistakes in the future..... Who do you believe is capable of transforming Cleveland's (underground) politics beginning in 2014? 

Do we have anymore "ED FITZGERALD" types who have been FBI guys that are willing to take on the unethical regime at City Hall? 

Do we have any citizen groups willing to disrupt politics as usual in Cleveland City Hall? 

Must not be significant in the accountability scheme.......intriguing....just visit missingmoney.com and input a search....see if you or your agency is owed money lost in the shuffle! 

THANK YOU FOR ALL OF YOUR EFFORTS ON BEHALF OF THE PUBLIC IN CUYAHOGA COUNTY AND THE REGION! WE DO APPRECIATE YOUR DEDICATION, DILIGENCE, AND DETERMINATION IN DISRUPTING CORRUPTION ON OUR BEHALF! 

Many of us ARE aware of the personal sacrifice, the ongoing requirements, and the vicious cycles you are mitigating to accomplish your mission of protecting the public at large from dishonorable and unethical public servant practices. Moreover; we appreciate your desire to "clean up" the ugly that has permeated our region for TOO LONG! 

Cleveland Plain Dealer has an editorial that says "Legal Aid needs a funding lifeline"..... Who will step up and help this very imperative organization that protects the legal rights of the low income families in our community at large?
