Mayor Justin Bibb and his partner, Bradford Davy, have come up with a power-grabbing way to heist Cleveland’s $511 million “Rescue Act” money

CLEVELAND, OH – Mayor Justin Bibb and his over-priced team of curve-graded diverse and inclusive administrators don’t understand the limits of the duties of the elected and appointed public offices they were administered oaths of office to discharge.  Bibb and the buddy he brought with him to a top Cleveland city hall job, Bradford Davy, operate as if they were elected to replace two constitutions, federal, state and local laws with their “ideas.”  Reading and mastering the federal, state and local laws that instruct Bibb and his subordinates how to lawfully discharge the duties of the mayor’s office is not a…

Bibb and Griffin must read and publicly demonstrate mastery of the American Rescue Plan Act before council votes to let the inexperienced mayor spend a dime of Cleveland’s $511 million

The "administration" is responsible for determining whether a police or firefighter's death was within the line of duty. There should be complete silence coming from city council about the mayor's decision to exercise administrative authority over the employees under the mayor's supervision. Council approved a collective bargaining agreement that did not include "death benefits" for cops because the matter has already been resolved by state law's Mayor Justin Bibb's administration has a duty to enforce. It's Council President Blaine Griffin's duty to ensure that his branch of government remains on its side of the aisle.

CLEVELAND, OH – It was wise of Cleveland city council members to reject outgoing Mayor Frank Jackson and Council President Kevin Kelley’s plans to spend American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 funds.  The last thing on Jackson and Kelley’s minds with around one month left in office is reading a 243-page federal law and leading their soon to be “out the door” teams in its broadest implementation.  They’re thinking about “next” and not “now.”  Whether Jackson and Kelley are mentally ready to leave or not the azz kissing that goes along with their public offices is over.  I’ve been there.…

CLEVELAND, OH – Attorney Darryl Eugene Pittman was elected on September 27, 1985 as East Cleveland’s first Mayor since 1904; and he died on July 10, 2021 the day before his 72nd birthday.  Darryl was a Columbia educated attorney born and raised in Youngstown, Ohio.  He was an older brother, a husband, a father, grandfather and one of the smartest men I knew.  Geek smart.  So is his brother … Ron.

Now a convicted felon, Gary Norton joins the Cleveland Hall of Fame of dirty ex-politicians endorsed by the Plain Dealer

Every duty Gary Norton failed to perform after his mismanagement of East Cleveland's finances caused the city to be placed in fiscal caution, fiscal watch and then fiscal emergency was documented in the state auditor's report as evidence the state attorney general can use to petition for its dissolution.

CLEVELAND, OH – The Plain Dealer and cleveland.com’s editorial board has done a horrible job of endorsing candidates for elected office.  When the newspaper’s endorsed candidates commit crimes in office or demonstrate incompetence its publishers, editors and writers just act like it didn’t happen.  Ignore their ongoing offenses until law enforcement authorities step in. Gary Alexander Norton, Jr. is the latest Plain Dealer endorsed political candidate to be convicted of crimes he didn’t get caught committing until he was out of elected office.  Norton showed up at East Cleveland city hall after voters recalled him in 2016 and offered to…

The 4 East Cleveland mayors the Plain Dealer endorsed, and then used reporters to conceal their crimes in office, explains why the politicians in Cuyahoga County are corrupt

CLEVELAND, OH – A look at the Plain Dealer’s endorsements of East Cleveland’s last four mayors reveals a truth the newspaper’s publishers and editors do their worst to conceal.  They encourage voters to elect incompetents and criminals to elected office.  The lower the moral character the better.   They then starve the voters they suckered into supporting the criminal they backed of the editorial information they need to evaluate their performance by concealing their crimes in office. Two of the Plain Dealer’s endorsed candidates for East Cleveland mayor have been indicted for public corruption.  A third looks like he’s on the…

The INTERCEPT’s attack on HUD secretary nominee Marcia Fudge with a fake writer named Vanessa A. Bee, who doesn’t exist anywhere as a Harvard grad or lawyer, is insidious

CLEVELAND, OH – None of Vanessa A. Bee’s background and “American” story adds up as writer for the INTERCEPT edited by Betsy Reed; and neither does her completely uninformed opinion of United States Representative Marcia Fudge. In her first article for the “INTERCEPT” website Reed oversees as editor-in-chief, Bee bashed Fudge as a “token” nominee of Joe Biden to lead the United States Department of Housing & Urban Development (HUD).  She initially and wrongly claimed that Marcia was the first American Negro woman to serve in the job; but later corrected her flawed opinion piece to include Patricia Harris. Digging…
