Jim Rokakis Land Bank case that boomeranged

 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. 

I got to this pretty cool site where Hon. J. John P. O'Donnell's rulings are available [1].  

That's progress.  BIG PROGRESS!

We, the public taxpayer,  can read our employee's (the Hon. Judge's) rulings.   From our Homes. From our Couch. Without any public records BS or fees.   That's progress.  And I salute every judge who publishes their opinions/rulings on the web.  Hat Tip to Mr. Hon. O'Donnell et al!

One 2009 ruling was a little existestial - requiring an Arizona company which leased a space at Legacy Village [2]to continue to operate their lease hold space after they had performed a going out of business sale and closed.  In the Judge's defense, the Court has to work with the precedent they have.   Sometimes, precedent, and practicality don't jive. 

There was also this case involving the land bank attempting to take a parcel valued at  $887,000  [3]

 to the Land Bank to satisfy a $37,889.90 tax lien [3].

Judge John P. O'Donnell didn't support the County Treasure's (Mr. Jim Rokakis's) position.  

While the plans of public officials like Mr. Rokakis are being rebuffed by public officials like Hon. J. O'Donnell, Mr. Rokakis is still collecting a "double dip" salary while at the same time making telephone calls to web site administrators (statement made on personal knowledge) and public employment personell managers (statement made on personal knowledge) - voicing complaints about negative opinions expressed about him.    

You can observe Mr. Rokakis extemporaneously (stream of consciousness is honest) complaining about web types at "3 am" complaining about him here on the City Club of Cleveland Web site. [4]

thank the L for public officials working for US!
