Now, the city of Boston has been forced to go one step further than merely acquitting those charged -- they have had to respond to Glik's own lawsuit against them. As part of the settlement, Boston will pay Glik $170,000 in damages and legal fees, thus sending a warning to law enforcement that they will be watched and recorded by the public, as well as a warning to cities and states who will disobey the Constitution.

 Doing my Saturday night rounds, I come to the stop light where I want to take a right turn - and very faintly on the sidewalk I think I see what I think is a votive candle flickering - I look up and it's in the quiet hands of a young black man.   

BIG MESSAGE HERE, I immediately realize.

Then everyone in the car says: It's got to be for Trayvon!

Wow!

Beautiful!

 Why didn't I think of this?   A local ordinance that requires a million dollar commercial insurance policy in order to have a public assembly or public march?   Why not a 10 million dollar policy limit if the march is really controversial?   

 Cuyahoga County   Common Pleas Judge John P. O'Donnell 

just appropriately ruled for the low bidder on the Brown's stadium concrete work. So, I thought, maybe here's a judge who is doing his job.  I Googled him. 

"Knowing love, I will allow all things to come and go. To be as supple as the wind, and take everything that comes with great courage. My heart is as open as the sky. Life is right in any case."

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!
