A visit to theCity of Cleveland Planning Commission [1] with a review of the 2020 Citywide Plan for Cleveland [2] revealed no substantial development projects in Ward 14 [3].
Until our leadership in Ward 14 can see beyond their noses of continuously abusing our demographics in order to steer our HUD CDBG funds into other areas of the city, (TREMONT WEST)-there will never be effective growth and development in Ward 14.
What development projects are pending in Ward 14 besides the Mercederian Assisted Living Plaza on Fulton which is not included in this plan?
Who is Ward 14's City of Cleveland planning representative?
What efforts are being dedicated to Ward 14 Planning & Development?
Who is working on this area of need in Ward 14?
Who is inspiring local and regional involvement in our Ward? (no not demolitions & code enforcement...but true business development?)
How do you expect our residents or even business investors to appreciate our community when you are more worried about cleaning up the blight by demolishing our neighborhoods- than offering them opportunities to participate????
Millions of dollars for demos but where's the funding for community development going? Where do our residents go for help?
Who can we trust when you are playing favors for your pals to get them positions as code enforcement officers to do the jobs of City Inspectors?
Again....the questions get asked...Yet, it is anticipated that there will be no acceptable responses...because you are neglecting the activists who are vested, interested, and who are definitely engaged that would be interested in doing something productive in our community...a resilient sign of retaliation for speaking out against your actions.
Mr. Cummins... we shouldn't have to lick your ass, kiss your feet, or brown nose with you to get answers to the simple questions within our community. We shouldn't be abused by your political regime... We should feel safe and trusting to come to you, but you actively redirect our funding, ignore our requests for information, and deflect the true activities that you are endeavoring on behalf of our residents... That's not acceptable.
What is that thing that they did to Mr. Santiago to get him removed from office, a recall? Should we wait through 4 more years of abusive actions before we stand up and hold you accountable...?
Or are you going to get off of your high horse and answer some tough questions about transparency? 4 months down and counting....NO ANSWERS to the lists of questions... we must really be STUPID to keep trying to care about our community and be treated so indifferently by you....must be nice to be you....
I guess we have another ingenious dictator in Ward 14 who's going to send our money all over the west side and treat the rest of us like we don't deserve these answers....
