Cleveland council members can’t pass last minute grant contracts before they leave office like Kevin Kelley’s trying to do with his $12 million Shaker Square give-away

Basheer "Sellout" Jones needs a job. So he's injected "race" into the 2021 campaign to replace Mayor Frank Jackson. He's doing the bidding of the plantation boss who kept his mouth shut about Jones living in South Euclid and Cleveland Heights while serving illegally on Cleveland city council. He owes Kelley a big favor for his complicit silence. Standing next to Kelley holding a sign is his campaign manager and Oakwood Village resident Joseph Fouche.

CLEVELAND, OH – Kevin Kelley’s on his way out the door with Basheer Jones, Anthony Brancatelli and Marion Anita Gardner.  Before he leaves council Kelley’s trying to pass last minute contracts that won’t go into full operation for the term he’s elected with 28 days left in office as of this date.  Among the contracts Kelley wants council to pass is one to Neighborhood Progress Inc. and Burten Bell Carr to purchase a parcel of Shaker Square properties for $12 million.

Akron and Cleveland’s mask ordinances will clog courts with money-wasting civil cases

Akron councilwoman Tara Samples has been particularly aggressive in pushing unconstitutional ordinances. She worked the Russian Bernie Sanders for president. She was Croatian Dennis Kucinich's running mate as a candidate for lieutenant governor. Any Middle East travel in her financial disclosure statements?

CLEVELAND, OH – In South Euclid the city council decided to issue “civil” parking tickets with demands that people receiving them pay-up.  The problem, according to Municipal Court Judge Gayle Williams Byers after she learned of the practice when she took office in January 2012, was that taking property in the form of quick cash from uninformed citizens without a trial was unconstitutional.  So she ended the constitutional rights-violating practice and returned over $80,000 to the citizens whose rights had been violated.  South Euclid city council amended its civil parking ticket ordinance to a criminal one.

Suppressing Black political growth behind Cleveland’s charter changes since 1937

CLEVELAND, OH – When Carl Stokes tested the Cleveland mayoral waters in his first campaign for the job in 1967, Call & Post Publisher William O.
