Councilman has long ago forgot whatever he thought he knew about poor people.
A question: If a member of the mafia pays for your supper to keep your mouth busy so you don't complain about him stealing your television out the back door, does that mean he is not actually a member of the mafia?
Jerleen--I commend you and your writing for the Plain Press. Dianna laments the lack of print media to distribute, but you moved your arguments to the Plain Press and I believe she should, too. We should all support the Plain Press. It is well-distributed on the near west side, read and ARCHIVED.

I love the Plain Press... My considerations include this:
1) If I had the funds, I'd pay to have it sent to every house in our near west side wards. (further if funding allowed.)
...as it stands now...it's distributed in stacks to various locations for pick up by consumers...but not direct marketed to everyone.
2) Content: I believe that the City Council's newsletters initially started out being very informative, outlining projected meettings, and keeping folks involved with timely information... Those newsletters are gone with the wind and now quite "after the fact" in most cases. Moreover, CDC's began dictating ongoing development and their newsletters became the new source...
3) REAL info that we deal is limited in print circulation..yet I do absolutely get excited with every new Plain Press publication revealing a little more about the issues behind the scenes.
4) DIVIDE & CONQUER.....take out the articles by writers.... Publish a FACT Based newsletter with all the MAPS, Plans, 2020 Master Plans, and Allocations for the public at large to review...including the residents without internet, without access, and without factual info in front of them that gives them the unbiased right to react effectively...
5) You want to fight this system....you need quotas...
All the CDC's have something that the activists do NOT have...they have a list of members, a board, and an administrative body to fight for funding, to use as a base, and to "play politics" locally. They have something called leverage and they use it to benefit themselves.
While we have leverage, it's not united at levels which are prepared to pay to play, to fight for our benefits, and to conquer the CDC's on a grand scale...
In lamen's terms...UNIONIZE, fight for the rights through collective bargaining, and fight fire with fire... Establish a board, write by laws, legitimize the entity with filings, and put your wisdom into grand scale action. Show them what "TEAMWORK" is by putting leadership into place, delegating, working together, and planning and implementing strategically for the long term.
We have brilliant people on REALNEO, without hesitation they are some of Cleveland's finest folks I have ever had the honor of working with...Yet, the privy keep us on our toes fighting case by case issues... What happens when our flames are no longer lit?
Everyone of us has stuck our nose into all the other business on the table trying to make a difference. We attend meetings, we speak up, and we get slammed individually for our efforts to fight the corruption. Yet, pull all those resources together, formulate realistic goals, and then react and finally see DIFFERENT RESULTS...
The only way to change others is to change your actions and reactions to them!
Train the trainers, train the subordinates, and build a foundation that actually finally represents the "people" of our community. Show the people that we are great at agreeing to disagree for their best interests and that we can build bridges while the corrupt are tearing down homes. Inspire the little people to fight for their own rights by giving them the tools they need to stand on their own two feet... Encourage and promote that empowerment in a positive way unlike the regimes that have violated everyone's American Spirit by stepping on the citizens' of NEO with negative quota accountability.
Quit allowing the people to be distracted from the FACTS with the smoke & cover illusions of biased information...
So long as the populace is distracted by those games portrayed by the development folks-they will never be able to get involved nor desire participating. They already live in fear and are afraid of fighting for their rights. They have been violated endlessly locally....

Cimperman: "I'm interested to learn more and more about municipal finance. I've been meeting with from banks just to have them explain to me the interest rates in the realty world. About how does this tie in? I've learned about the three ways of making money for a development: cash on cash, net income on return, and another way that is a kind of mix in between the two of them. How, over twenty years, the real estate value factors into that with how many people are buying homes, with a lot of other factors which are somewhat nebulous."
Cimperman: "Councilman Jackson from Ward 5, Councilman Rybka from 12, Nelson, and I, we have these conversations at City Planning and at Community & Economic Development. We are always trying to find that elusive number. How do you figure that weight out? Why is it $200,000 at 4% and not $300,000 at 5%? And that whole thing."
Too bad many of the developers that Cimperman, et al, decides to pick and choose from have a high return rate of wasting tax dollars, shoddy development, and then filing bankruptcy after they have taken our money.
A few examples of how Cimperman, and our other so called leaders, feed the developers:
The Crain’s Cleveland Business article notes that Huntington Bank had provided Ameri-Con Homes with “$2.75 million of a $3.6 million construction it had approved for the project.” The article also notes that Village Capital (a development arm of Neighborhood Progress Inc) had invested $425,000 in the project and the City of Cleveland had given the developers $688,000 of a $831,000 loan it had approved for the development. The article notes that contractors are still owed money for work on the site to the tune of over $600,000.
Ruggieri, meanwhile, is chief operating officer for the biggest home builder in Cleveland, and Tekieli is his sales director. Their company, Rysar, has collected more than $16 million in loans and grants from HUD, along with at least $13.6 million in loans from the city.
Rysar's specialty is selling affordable inner-city homes. Lately, complaints about Rysar's construction have started to sound eerily familiar.
Carolyn Smalls paid $83,000 for a three-bedroom house renovated by Rysar four years ago. It sounded like a good deal. But a year after she moved in -- just when her warranty ran out -- her brand-new roof started leaking. When workers from Cleveland Housing Network came to install new insulation, she says, they discovered rotting wood in the rafters.
"The stuff that [Rysar] put in is not holding up," Smalls says. "I love my house, but I hate what I had to go through to get it."
Rysar's most ambitious project is in Central, where it's building more than 400 new houses through a federally subsidized housing program. Homes in the Villages of Central sell for $100,000 to $200,000, and feature suburban-style perks. The problem, residents say, is in their craftsmanship.
The owners of the Sixth Street Market in the Warehouse District downtown soon will have another item to add to their list of goods for sale - a series of townhomes they are building in Tremont. Brothers Tommy, Ross and Sammy Catania are building between 19 and 26 upscale townhomes, Sammy Catania said
They will break ground this week on Literary Avenue in the first of three phases of the for-sale townhomes, he said. ``We're going to actually wrap around the block,'' Sammy Catania said. ``Our next focus will be on West 5th Street and West 6th Street.''
NOTICE OF FILING BANKRUPTCY AND SUGGESTION OF STAY CV-09-701466 NATIONAL CITY REAL ESTATE SERVICES, LLC vs. SAM CATANIA, ET AL
And then we have a reputable developer that wants to spend 10 million of THEIR OWN MONEY, and the city is against this:
First, the good news: A local developer wants to spend $10 million of its own money to build a complex of 59 upscale apartments in the heart of University Circle.
The developer isn't asking the city for any loans, tax abatements or other incentives.
What could possibly be wrong with this picture?
Plenty, if you're a city like Cleveland -- thirsting for new jobs, new residents and new investments, only to find old-style politics getting in the way.
Sounds like Jeff Johnson has other plans for tax payer funded developers, and WYZ is in the way of his plans.
How dare a private -obviously non connected -developer even think they are going to spend their OWN MONEY in this city.
I say that the city chase down WYZ Development and allow them to invest 10 million of their OWN MONEY. Better chase them down quick before they figure out what they are dealing with in Cleveland- and change their minds. If WYZ were smart, they would now invest their money somewhere else, actually anywhere else other than the City of Cleveland.
Submitted by Norm Roulet on Thu, 02/24/2011 - 08:55.
WYZ is smart - they are investing in coal free Cleveland - they are a big winner as we shut down MCCO, as they are a lead developer in University Circle - all their property has just skyrocketed in value - Johnson showed his character years ago... and NOT FIGHTING FOR CITIZENS AGAINST MCCO... and I expect no better of him ever. That voters put him in office shows how polluted their minds are here... that other Council people tolerate this in their presence shows their character.
Everyone I do believe has heard about the meeting which took place on Tuesday at Windows on the River. I did not attend, however, it got back to me that Cimperman was there with all the TWDC uppities. Several hunder people showed up for this event which was mostly every deep pocket who knows anything about Cleveland - all of them looking for their piece of the pie in redeveloping the flats. I'm sure most of you recall all the money that was spent putting up high-end restaurants and nightclubs the last time the flats were built up. Became nothing more than a place for people to be drowned, drowned themselves, get shot, stabbed or robbed - and now most of the flashy places no longer exist.
Cimperman for Congress 2008 - Top Donors - featuring Charles Evans from Dominion Cleveland Thermal for $2,000 - I assume the DiSanto, Frederick D. of Ancora Advisors LLC listed here for $2,300 is the same Ancora of Grenwich, Connecticut that bought Cleveland Thermal from Dominion in 2004:
RICHMOND, Va., July 1 /PRNewswire/ -- Dominion (NYSE: D) announced today that it has agreed to sell Dominion Cleveland Thermal to Ancora Management LLC of Greenwich, Connecticut. Closing is expected in the fourth quarter of 2004. Terms of the sale were not disclosed and the sale is subject to regulatory approval.
Look at all the other corrupting industrial and developer scum on Cimpermans buy-list who have been screwing Cleveland... wonder what each one wanted in return for their $1,000s... lucky Cimperman lost by a mile. Time to rid Cleveland of the power of all these self-serving, citizen-killing parasites forever!

Not as high a roller as people think - these are just the top 100 donors... I'm sure the complete list is very interesting... it is always interesting to look at campaign contribution lists... which is why the Supreme Court made it easy for corporations to hide their political contributions now.
To think peoplewill give someone like Cimperman such big money to corrupt congres - bet they con't give this much to church...
Most people in the world live on less than one of these contributions a year.
In agreeing to a lengthy prison sentence, Russo also obtained assurances from prosecutors that they will not further prosecute Vince Russo or go after his other children. The deal also extends to Calabrese and Chip Marous, his daughter Richelle's fiance, and to Marous Brothers Construction Inc.
Marous Brothers, which is owned by Chip Marous, was listed in the federal subpoena and search warrant served on Frank Russo. link
"Most of Cimperman's $228,000 in contributions came from lawyers, developers, bankers and business associates. Forest City Enterprises Ratner family contributed $11,000 and the Ohio Savings Bank-affiliated Goldberg family gave $13,800.
About 40 people gave Cimperman the maximum amount of $2,300, including Scott Wolstein, head of Developers Diversified Realty Corp. and lead developer of the Flats East Bank neighborhood, Legacy Village developer Mitch Schneider, event promoter Mike Belkin and Republican investor Jeff Jacobs.
Cimperman had nearly $205,000 cash on hand at the end of last year"

Cimperman has no problem working with the well connected developers -while handing out tax payer dollars.
And he can easily calculate hom many of our tax dollars will be handed out:
Cimperman: "I'm interested to learn more and more about municipal finance. I've been meeting with from banks just to have them explain to me the interest rates in the realty world. About how does this tie in? I've learned about the three ways of making money for a development: cash on cash, net income on return, and another way that is a kind of mix in between the two of them.
