The media is strangely very quiet on the state of Cuyahoga County finances.  And, for weeks, they have been mining the archive at REALNEO (certainly more reliable than, say, the Cleveland.com archive or the County's website).

Thanks Mike, I'd like to add that our local schools are implementing shooter survival training along with earthquake and fire drills. And we now have bullet proof backpacks and jackets... We shouldn't need this kind of training, but better to be prepared than not. Thanks for the great tips, it could happen anywhere... http://www.thesunflower.com/ne... http://www.bulletblocker.com/b... • Reply • Share › cclearly • 4 hours ago

POT FARM MONOPOLY - ISSUE 3

Submitted by Jeff Buster on Tue, 11/03/2015 - 09:24.

 Only in Ohio could we come up with this crap.    No, not the legalization of use of marijuana, but rather providing a government monopoly to 10 farms in Ohio to grow the stuff - pot.   Crazy.  Read more here at the Washington Post

First it's the phone monoplies, then the sports monopolies, then the casino monopolies and  now the pot growers monopoly.

Syrian war - Migrants the most powerful weapon

Submitted by Jeff Buster on Sun, 11/01/2015 - 12:19.
