Why do we allow the Ratners to dictate our lives here in Northeast Ohio?

TODAY, I VOTED BY MAIL

 How long does the Greater Cleveland Partnership through Northeast Ohio Media Group - keep the CON alive?

How many milllions of dollars are given to Cleveland Schools and the "Land Bank" - two entities that have no accountability built into the equation?

The administration of the Mayoral-controlled Cleveland Metropolitan School District has had a longer time to play their con and NEOMG can always spin the achievements there - but the "Land Bank" established in 2009 - should it be able to run on fumes for a bit longer??  

This past week - I tried to pick up a WiFi signal on the CWRU campus - NADA.  While, I was in rural Frostburg and Cumberland MD - I never had a problem picking up a strong and free WiFi spot.  Is this something we should consider and prepare for with the RNC coming to town???  

The Greater Cleveland Partnership will have you believe Frank Jackson has been good for Cleveland based on improvements seen downtown, but let's review some of the big ticket projects hatched under Frank Jackson as Mayor.

 My dear brothers and sisters, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry.

 I know from my experience as a first-generation child of immigrant parents (My mother was born in Hungary- my father's father came here from Ireland) that my parents felt the stigma to move out of the city as soon as they could afford it.  

Hungarian relatives moved to Brecksville.  Irish family members moved to Strongsville.  We moved to Rocky River. 

Cleveland recently added a bike sharing program - almost entirely for Ohio City residents.  It's called Zagster.com  (Zagster.com/Cleveland)

 Alonzo Mitchell III is an amazing young-ish man.  He looks younger than his 33 years and he is the catalyst for a ground swell of positive energy in CLE.  Without foundations, without powerful connections - Alonzo Mitchell III returned to Cleveland with enthusiasm and pride in his hometown.  He translated this energy into the marketing juggernaut Ohio Homecoming.

Why is it that anyone with delinquent property taxes in Cuyahoga County can continue to buy additional properties?  

Would you NOT think that delinquent tax status on any property would preclude a delinquent owner from buying a property from Fannie Mae?  

Well, it just happened in my neighborhood and this time the guy didn't even bother to camouflage his name with an LLC - like good old Lucky Ogor!
