Perhaps when you are done understanding this nightmare of a "GOVERNMENT BASED ECONOMY"...you can help implement real Economic Development while protecting the rights of our public at large!
After years of being ignored...we the citizens of Cuyahoga County and the City of Cleveland demand social justice!!!! We the "QUOTAS" that drive this system and keep you all master planners in business demand disruption of corruption through and through...Desoite countless complaints being filed with the Department of Justice and countless other oversight committees...we have been continually victimized by questionable practices. Meanwhile, our Civil Rights are violated..while our Councilman deprives us of public participation while planning, using, and allocating our HUD Funds OUTSIDE OF OUR WARD!
There's a National level of civic activism that is fighting for social justice...WE ARE NOT ALONE LOCALLY! Meanwhile, our local leaders make NEW LAWS to protect their own interests while violating the needs of the public again and again... And despite our open requests and demand for answers, we are ignored again and again... And when we, the advocates and activists, unite under umbrellas, we become targets of the regime. When we participate at their levels in the political regime, it's fun to watch the corrupt disperse like oil & water in their forums! But, moreover, don't be associated with one of us or you may face the same retaliatory practices we are familiar with from the politically connected.. Or better yet,those people in power are experts at undermining our citizens by labeling them... But you must really learn about the TRUE ADVOCATES IN OUR COMMUNITY & THE UNDERGROUND WORK THEY DO FOR FREE REGULARLY WITHOUT RESPECT FROM THE HIGHLY PAID SOCIAL WORKERS & ADMINISTRATORS!
DO NOT ALLOW THEM TO DIVIDE & CONQUER US with issues like the "RACE CARD" any longer...We must unite against the regime that likes to keep us dispersed and who prevent us from uniting on the REAL ISSUES AT HARD!
Get Familiar with the MASTER PLANS and 2020 Visions of both the City of Cleveland and Cuyahoga County collectively and also their various neighborhoods before you delve into understanding the reason or rhyme to any of the info below. Without virtually seeing the "OUTLOOK" and "knowing the perimeters"...you'll just never comprehend the "WHY?'s to all the rest of this".... We have a bunch of Wise Guys running and ruining our lives locally.... We are enslaved no matter how hard we fight the 'system'...zip codes, neighborhoods, and pocket neighborhoods have long term objectives that highlight WHY the 'developers' at all levels are violating the residents of our area. ARE YOU AWARE IF YOU ARE INCLUDED IN A MASTER PLAN IN YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD???
Once you read the $40 Million dollars worth of reasons that they are playing this game with the Landbanks...you'll see why they say it costs over $100,000 to buy, rehab and resell a City of Cleveland home...that entire mathematical equation is a fricken joke...because 80% of Clevelanders cannot afford a typical $100,000 purchase price, plus the inflated taxes, and homeowner's insurance rates (REDLINED in Cleveland and inflated) based on income data from the Census burea...unless of course you are doing that simply to steer out the low income so that they cannot afford to live in our City? (Like Tremont, Detroit Shoreway, Cudell, and Ohio City)... I bet if you gave that SAME $100,000 to a 'FOR PROFIT" real estate investor and also let them have some of these properties for really cheap as you are doing with the landbanks...then you'd actually get 2-4 houses completely rehabbed inside out for the same price as these not for profit developers are alleging will cost MORE than $100,000 to rehab. That is absurd!!!! Who were the CONSULTANTS ON THIS WORK OF ART???? PLEASE, humor all of the rest of our public at large???? Spur some "Competitive bidding structures that empower small business investors to do business with you all!!!! STOP THE WASTE OF GOVERNMENT TAX DOLLARS IN OUR COMMUNITY AT LARGE!!! Quit insulting the public at large with such HOG WASH!!!!! BUT PLEASE BE AWARE OF THE AMERICAN CONS and HOW THE TOP PAID CONTRACTORS PERFORM IN OUR NEIGHBORHOODS AND LEAVE UNFINISHED PROJECTS, FILE FOR BANKRUPTCY AND ENJOY LIVING LARGE AT OUR EXPENSES...I actually recall going knocking on the door to these OUT OF TOWN Contractors back in the day to ask about something or another...only to find the condescending owner/project manager reading a book!!!!
WE ALREADY KNOW HOW THE LOCAL CITY OF CLEVELAND REGIME WORKS REGARDING DISTRIBUTING HUD DOLLARS TO CONTRACTORS...
I am so sick of attorneys who know truths and turn a deaf ear, blind eye, and play dumb to the corruption and violations against the public at large. Your oversight organizations are a joke too... You all are just living large without any care about the people at the bottom of the rung!!! I pray the FBI keeps on working this County and the City of Cleveland until all you rats are exposed and eradicated.... The people deserve better than all this crap! I hope the people rise up and bring you all down collectively! WHERE ARE THE LAWYERS WITH ETHICS? Well,we can see how ROKAKIS Lobbied for our rights to be violated through GLS Capital Cuyahoga Inc aka XSPAND aka Plymouth Park Tax Services LLC aka JPMORGAN Chase aka Bears Stearns.... and even paid them $50,000 in consulting fees before awarding them the contracts to buy Tax Certificates in with no competitors...
How can we consistently be deprived of protection of our Constitutional Rights? We are just pawns in the Neighborhood Stabilization Program of our Federal Government which creates thousands of jobs for carpetbagging, overeducated, inexperienced interns to pretend like they are doing some "gentrification" for the low income It's a multi BILLION dollar industry...farming the low income!!!
Moreover, you can see the wasteful spending of our local government when they "DEMO" our properties through this process... Or You watch how they redirect responsibility onto out of town investors in an attempt to provide "smoke and cover" to their true operations!
I am a very imperfect, pro se, victim to the Plymouth Park Tax Services LLC, Cuyahoga County Auditor (CORRUPTION), and Cuyahoga County Treasurer and Commissioners (REGIME) actions.....(I could list quite a few other entities from City Inspectors and their intimidation, Code Enforcers through Community Development, and City of Cleveland Housing Court issues all the way through City of Cleveland (due process violations) City Council....WOW, what a fricken collusive, unethical, and conspiring bunch of frauds you all have turned out to be!!!!) The sad part is that I am only 1 of the entire populace of residents locally who has the wherewithall to connect these dots to a degree of "HUD FUNDING" beyond the scope of the average citizen who could care less... unless they are hit in the face with the connections and they realize that they have experienced similar scenarios again & again...and then what can they do???? NOTHING! No one in Cleveland or Cuyahoga County wants to "ROCK THE (SINKING) BOAT!"
While my goals were to bring to light the unreal ways that this county has effectuated it's political powers in devastating manners, I find the local court system to be infiltrated far beyond any level that would protect the "GENERAL PUBLIC" from being abused because of the countless backroom deals that keep this little system "IN BUSINESS" at the expense of the low income citizens at all levels. THINGS LIKE THE "NO BID PROCESS..." Needed to be revealed.
The complicity of our County administrators to use us as pawns with WALL STREET CORPORATIONS including DYNEX & JP CHASE MORGAN by selling our asset backed securities to extortionists and then wondering why our community is so devastated is absolutely amazing.... I wonder how many families who bank with Chase actually tried to get a "LOAN" to pay off their property taxes before they were foreclosed upon and were denied assistance...that'd be a survey to be conducted locally...Comical.
WHEN WILL THE NATIONAL INVESTIGATIONS ON ANTITRUST VIOLATIONS RESULT IN LOCAL CONVICTIONS OF THESE COLLUSIVE PARTIES?
Do not allow any more of the Plymouth Park Tax Certificates to have accelerated foreclosures effectuated!
PLEASE STOP THESE FAMILIES FROM LOSING THEIR HOMES!!!! STOP THIS INSANE, PREMEDITATED, UNETHICAL, UNSCRUPULOUS, DENEGRATION OF OUR FAMILIES FROM BEING THROWN OUT OF LIFELONG HOMES! THEY THEMSELVES ARE THE VESTED STAKEHOLDERS FOR ENDURING GENERATIONS OF CORRUPTION AND STAYING DESPITE THE OBVIOUS!! WHILE THEY AUCTION AWAY THE REMNANTS of HOMES collected...we fight these social injustices. But if they can't sell them...they end up Landbanking them and giving Plymouth Park Tax Services RETAIL TAX WRITE OFF VALUES for homes that were not valued (FRAUDULENT APPRAISALS BY AUDITOR) at pennies on the dollars through our wonderful LANDBANK SYSTEM locally. See how this Tsunami of Foreclosures goes... click here.
MEANWHILE, Plymouth Park Tax Services LLC fails to pay its own property taxes, gets Board of Revisions' reductions close to $100 on their properties, and makes millions in profits...What's wrong with this picture that our own county sold us out?
JUDGE JOHN P. O’DONNELL saw these actions as UNCONSTITUTIONAL here in Ohio and he actually protected one entity regarding violations of our 14th Amendment rights...I believe that ORC 5721.33(E) (3) is UNCONSTITUTIONAL all the same...as it deprives an owner of bidding at a tax certificate sale on his very own property...Amusing how owners of Plymouth Park Tax Service LLC aka XSPAND (Defaulted on their own tax bills), and then got to buy up countless tax certificates and then they get to collude with eachother in backroom deals...The only people who are not protected our are most vulnerable...and none of the local "PRO BONO" attorneys will touch this type of case to protect the TRUE RIGHTS of Americans... It's too "LITIGIOUS" and none of them have the "resources" to break it down and fight for the people!
It's just sad that all the citizens cannot afford high class, articulate, well trained lawyers to fight for their rights....and I find it all ugly... Our people couldn't get huge discounts on their taxes, but WALL STREET just came in and gobbled us up by the droves with great big discounts? ...Then while they waited for a year, allowing interests to build up, denying citizens of communications so that they could "BUILD UP" their investment with high yielding 18% interest rates and racking up extortionist level collections & administrative fees in addition to all the other fees...I contacted countless agencies about this and was denied help at ALL PLACES...a litigious case or a simple request to disrupt the process, the corruption, and reveal the truths---it meant going against the "REGIME" and no lawyer was willing to risk it all on behalf of the public at large.
LOGICALLY: We had countless folks hired to work at our county...None of them could do collections on behalf of the county--so we sold out the job to Tax Certificate buyers like JP Chase Morgan..>(WHAT THE FLOWER WERE WE PAYING FOR SALARIES FOR ALL YOU INCOMPETENT LABORERS FOR THEN ANYHOW (SO YOU COULD LIVE LARGE---huh????) Then they(PLYMOUTH PARK/CHASE) ran our system...comical... Who protected the public at large and who thought about anyone other then themselves in these transactions that put the little people at the highest levels of risk??? They did this crap on purpose so that they could gobble up land in the zones that have been declared long term development zones under master plans that mean tons of HUD Funding opportunities for players down the road....They did not create laws to protect the land owners...They did however give "GODLY POWERS" to local "TREASURERS".....and so the story goes on and on...
LOOK, LET'S GET REAL....CUYAHOGA COUNTY ITSELF ADAMANTLY IS WORKING TO PROTECT ITSELF FROM CLAIMS ARISING FROM THE HISTORICAL CORRUPTION SCANDALS....BUT WE THE CITIZENS DO HAVE RIGHTS TO RECOURSE. THEY JUST DON'T WANT US TO UNITE...THEY DON'T WANT TO GO BANKRUPT...THEY DO NOT WANT TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE...AND MOST IMPORTANTLY...THEY DON'T WANT THE REAL TRUTH TO BE EXPOSED TO THE PUBLIC AT LARGE...THUS AGAIN & AGAIN, THEY WORK THEIR UNDERHANDED DEALINGS OF POWERFUL SITUATIONS TO STEP ALL OVER THE ACTUAL RIGHTS OF THE (quotas) LITTLE PEOPLE WHO KEEP THEM LIVING WELL!!!! We paid for services that were fraudulently effectuated...they defrauded anyone who ever paid taxes in Cuyahoga County!!! HELLO!!!
MAY GOD BLESS EVERY SINGLE CULPABLE PLAYER IN THIS REGIME.... JUDGES, CLERKS, LAWYERS, ADMINISTRATORS, CONTRACTORS, AND ANYONE ELSE WHO KNOWINGLY, UNETHICALLY, AND UNDERHANDEDLY HAS PLAYED A PART IN THIS NIGHTMARE THAT HAS DECIMATED OUR LOCAL POPULACE....
I STRONGLY ENCOURAGE ANYONE WHO HAS HAD ANY DEALINGS WITH PLYMOUTH PARK TAX SERVICES LLC, XSPAND, GLS CAPITAL-CUYAHOGA OR ANY OTHER TAX CERTIFICATE ISSUES THAT YOU FEEL WERE UNSCRUPULOUS TO CONTACT SOME OF OUR LOCAL INVESTIGATORS TO REDRESS YOUR RIGHTS THAT HAVE BEEN VIOLATED....
It's time to filter through the local multi billion dollar NOT FOR PROFIT lists of redundant organizations vying for those funds...which afford illustrious benefit packages for the administrators...what a joke!
How much STOCK does anyone who works for the County have vested with J.P. Morgan Chase???? I'd love to see their PORTFOLIOS!!! Rokakis???

PLAYERS: James Rokakis , FRANK RUSSO, County Commissioners (1996-2010), Former Assistant County Prosecutor William J.

In other States, the corruption with Xspand aka Plymouth Park has been revealed, but why not in Cuyahoga County?

MRS claims Xspand—plus other people and companies—engaged in unfair competition; this includes secret communications between Xspand personnel and these two MontCo commissioners. MRS produces evidence that their leak of private, internal data undermined the public trust, is illegal, and allowed a lucrative contract to be steered to the favored, politically-connected Xspand.
VICTIM CASES: FRANK Giglio, Black Friday, Multiple other victims, Ali Family, and every citizen of Cuyahoga County at large! Or check out the list of Xspand tax certificate holdings in Cuyahoga County here...
THEN THERE ARE THOSE WHO ARE "CONNECTED" and who are not made a target of a formal tax foreclosure or Tax certificate sale even when they owe YEARS in back taxes...like Ronald Courey, Jr. You know that the leaders get to "PICK & CHOOSE" who gets sold at auction, right? How many "Connected" folks avoided this nightmare in Cuyahoga County and what made them special? That's SELECTIVE PROSECUTION, isn't it? I mean-doesn't that show absolute social injustice when certain folks are prosecuted and others are not? Maybe it's just UNEQUAL RIGHTS OR SOMETHING? Can someone explain to me the thought process here about why some folks got picked and others did not????
And ater all is said and done...the only SAFEGUARD in town is the company that sends unscrupulous contractors out with a list of addresses of homes to "SECURE" during the foreclosue process. It's supposed to be to protect the interests of the lender..but they end up robbing the homeowners again and again. They violate all safeguard measures without any accountability. Countless victims of this "safeguard" industry have come forward to date... Known for their "CRIMINAL TRESPASSING IN 'OCCUPIED' HOMES', Safeguard enjoys great profits from their business. Moreover, Safeguard's long list of complaints by their victims is endless. Or simply view the RIPOFF REPORT ABOUT SAFEGUARD.... But of course, Who will be our SAFEGUARD against Safeguard properties? Some places are having non judicial foreclosures swoop in and securing properties only 45 days delinquent! Ask victims of Safeguard like Helen Wood how they do business. Watch out because after all is said and done...one of these demolition contractors that are not licensed to do business in the State of Ohio anymore might be the company who shows up to the wrong address to demo your home without any way of stopping them!
But be extremely careful, because if you piss off the wrong "person in power"...you might end up being accused of anything from Arson to bombings...because you began to "QUESTION" these alleged leaders and interrogate them about their unethical, unaccountable, and highly "suspicious" ways of effectuating and disributing funding and getting properties "dealt" with that laid in your track of development....As the leaders "WAG THE DOG" with you as a pawn...they get even closer to accomplishing their mission and looking like "HEROES!" wow......but you'll miss the boat because in your powerless position-you'll end up in prison just long enough for them to effectuate their master plans... If you are in the lane of their "LAND SPECULATION" then you will be sent through the ringer like Frank Giglio while they effectuate their development plans...
Love how the local "ORGANIZATIONS" always come out smelling like roses!
Yet, they just got a little out of control in their actions and there's so many victims crawling out of the woodwork allowing their stories to be shared---that this "REGIME" of RICO infested JERKS need to start looking for places to RUN! Heck, where could we go for help locally over the past 40 years, to County Sheriff Gerald McFaul or his regime??? (Sorry, needed some humor!) But of course, the former Sheriff was simply 'slapped on the wrist for his crimes!' Corruption herein has been going on for generations at levels far beyond the average person's capacity of intake...heck, it has become 'A WAY OF LIFE' for the players and their generations of children and pay to play pals...
These are yet more links...here here here here here And then see here...from a world class investigator into this consuming subject matter regarding everything from BLIGHT in the CITY OF CLEVELAND to endearing friendships she has shared with the People in our community at large.... I salute her for all of her comprehensive efforts to protect the public at large from this entire nightmare! She is one of the few people who get it all in our community at large because she's been walking alongside picking up the pieces and trying to help whoever she can along the way! God Bless her tireless efforts, her compassion, her love for her fellow people, and for standing up to fight against this entire corrupt regime even though others have fallen on this crusade to provide social justice!!! I dedicate this blog to LILY MILLER for all of her priceless work, investigations, and social service coordination for the countless victims of our local government's effectuations!

Case Example: Father John Henry of Herman's House of Hospitality
Another fine example of our local government screwing over a citizen for the purposes of "community development" is shared in this blog about Father John Henry from Herman's House of Hospitality on Franklin Avenue. While this "property" sits smack dead in the middle of MULTIPLE HUD FUNDED DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS...The regime uses their WAG THE DOG or SMOKE & COVER actions to grab land and label unsuspecting citizens.... This is by far, another violation against our public at large.

Merrick House on Fulton Road will be closed April 01, 2011.
It is absolutely unbelievable to comprehend how this 10% stakeholder with a $2.4 Million dollar budget annually (of an approximate $2 billion dollar Not For Profit industry on the west side of Cleveland..) can be closing without more consideration for their great need in our community.
Either this is a political retaliation by the leadership of Merrick House because of the conviction of their buddy, Sammy Catania or they are really abusing their financial books. Too many players are making a concessions to keep this organization in Ward 14. Yet, apparently, we didn't play "POLITICS" and yet another reflection of their "RETALIATION" has been effectuated on our community.
The abrupt decision to "close" this social service organization, deprive the senior citizens, low income, and socio-economically disadvantaged of desperately needed resources, and to dynamically violate our community with such a short notice to close has been by far one of the ugliest actions committed by these alleged philanthropist organizations...
Don't worry, their administrators won't miss their HUGE paychecks.... not nearly as much as the vulnerable people will miss those services.

Using the "poor" to leverage money....it's the only game in C-town.
http://www.cleveland.com/business/index.ssf/2010/12/clevelands_flats_east_bank_pro.html
HUD is a sewer that uses dirty moneys and taxpayer dollars to finance big projects for the wealthy. Catherine Fitts writes about it here:
www.dunwalke.com
Yes it is a loan, but take a look at the history of HUD. They finance big projects for the wealthy to house poor people. The loans go bust and they don't get paid back (XYZ corporation skips town). The property defaults then HUD auctions off to the next wealthy person for cents on the dollar. In this fashion rich people make out and poor people lose.
While this project will make Cleveland look good on the surface, this just reshuffles some jobs around Cleveland and creates a few hundred temporary construction jobs. Think about if we could divert some of this money coming from the Federal spigot into local communities where it could make a difference? This money could help people build equity by reinvesting the cash flows.
Projects like this do little to change the underlying flaws and problems in Cuyahoga County. We have the two tax RITA system (to me which is organized crime) in addition to state and federal taxes. My property value on the east side went down by $30,000 in one year but the taxes stay the same because the 920 reduction is lessened to keep the taxes level each year. To me this is fraud because all of us have to make cuts in our lives but some of these municpalities in Cleveland never have to.
WE have a possible 3x jump in sewer. Property values are declining rapidly as nothing on the market is selling in this county. The economic well being of most in Cuyahoga County is extremely poor with respect to other counties that are the center of major metro areas like Cleveland. What is beign done to address these issues? Nothing!

Should you believe that Community Development Block Grants are being improperly administered, it could be beneficial to contact the Inspector General for the federal Department of Housing and Urban Development. Their office can be reached by writing to 451 7th Street, S.W., Washington, D.C. 20410, or by calling 202-708-1112. You can also contact the hotline to report fraud, waste, abuse or serious mismanagement by calling 1-800-347-3735 or by sending an email to hotline [at] hudoig [dot] gov.
Of course, it's just a circle game...not that I expect anything for taking the time to write a letter...about as effective as my letter to the EPA on the NEORSD...

This post was cited awhile ago by "Cleveland Change"...
Cleveland Community Development Group
Another solution to this is the creation of a community development group which acts as a intercessor in cases like this. This is part of our pledge of One Nation Working Together 13 weeks away.
We will create a social movement of individuals and organizations in Cleveland committed to putting Clevelanders back to work and pulling Cleveland back together through the Community Reinvestment Act. We beleive that by bringing together a founding group from a diverse set of backgrounds, experiences, beliefs and orientations that we can build a more united movement for change with good jobs, equal justice, and quality public education for all Clevelanders.

Project HAPPY VIRUS CLEVELAND....
A study is being launched in Cleveland to teach a group of people how to think positively. They, in turn, will spread this "happiness virus" to their family, friends and co-workers. The goal is to increase well-being, success and happiness here.
'In all my glory' said it better than I could ever say it.... just enjoy this newly funded project in the City of Cleveland!
Applause, Applause, and more applause to "InAllMyGlory" for stating what countless residents feel...
What will be the demographic breakdown of such a study?
????'s...
Felons, Mentally Ill, Sexuality, live alone or with family, kids or no kids, employed or unemployed?
100 surveyors could barely touch the crust of the demographic backgrounds of Clevelanders... will they put a section on there that asks-ARE YOU CONNECTED TO A CORRUPT PUBLIC SERVANT? and does that make you feel happy or sad...?
Such a survey cannot be realistically conducted locally because it's all a matter of opinion....
Countless citizens finally felt "HAPPY" and celebrated when Frank Russo and Jimmy Dimora were indicted this past Fall.... but it's all a matter of opinion at the end of the day....
Cynicism does run deep here in Cleveland...
Generations of people have been wronged by abusive practices, philanthropic industries, and a world of "quotas" being used to drive these industries city wide...
We are positive in Cleveland....
We are positive numbers for a system of quotas...
We are the statistics that keep our government in business.
We are the wonderful remnants of countless families moving out..
We are the faithful believers that someday our corrupt public servants will be held accountable.
We are the fighters for social justice despite countless social injustices...
We sing, dance, and pray for prosperity that includes equal opportunities when only the connected win the bids.
We build up our homes, despite the fact that the City Government has ascertained MILLIONS to tear our properties down.
Cleveland is a beautiful city for the Middle Class that was steered out over the past several generations... and now it is even better for the affluent professionals...
Demographic statistics vs happy virus...
Fact or fiction... Opinions vs facts....
hmmmmmmmm...
Positive thinking can only take you so far when you are denied, denied, and denied again and again... Spoke to a single dad today who has several felonies...Not the perfect person-but he has worked to reform his life and go the right way in life...And against all odds-he's unable to find employment that will provide for him and his family... comical...
We have BILLIONS of DOLLARS IN DEVELOPMENT GOING ON.... BUT WHO GETS THE WORK???? THE PEOPLE IN THE CITY OF CLEVELAND ARE NOT getting that work...IT'S THE OUT OF TOWN CONTRACTORS AND THEIR EMPLOYEES GETTING THE WORK...
....but, I think that "INALLMYGLORY" said it best....

Did their "GOOD OLE BOY" network finally get held accountable by the citizens of our community?
Did our City's employees take advantage of their "MIDDLE CLASS" lifestyles afforded by the masses of tax payers at ALL levels?
Is "Collective Bargaining" okay in an environment where "BACK ROOM DEALS" are practically a way of life? (CLEVELAND)
Do we need to rethink "HOME RULE" and "COLLECTIVE BARGAINING" in Cleveland Ohio?
Do the Tax Payers deserve accountability that is not layered in collusive bargainers???
Do the low income, disabled, and seniors deserve to be treated like less than desirable quotas by the "MIDDLE CLASS COLLECTIVE BARGAINERS"?
TO ALL THE COLLECTIVE BARGAINERS...REMEMBER THAT YOUR JOB MEANS NOTHING WITHOUT THE WORLD OF FOLKS (VOTERS) "BENEATH" YOU WHO PAY TAXES AND HAVE A JUSTIFIABLE RIGHT TO SPEAK UP ABOUT HOW OUR TAX DOLLARS ARE USED, ABUSED, AND VIOLATED!!!!
Collective Bargaining should not be a part of any government body (CITY OF CLEVELAND) because organized labor promise politicians endorsements in return to support their agendas.... It's all a power play known as "PAY TO PLAY"....
Organized Labor used to be a part of the manufacturing companies. Manufacturing has left our country and more specifically our region... Cleveland, Ohio's government based economy is now a TOOL for collective bargaining, corruption, and pay to play politics. Infiltration by endorsing "UNIONS" is well known in our community.
During the 1980's, the city of Cleveland had an automatic 6% raise for City Council. In the late 1990's, members of City Council changed their pay structure by voting in a new law. If they want to get their raises, then they have to approve so many collective bargaining contracts-then they get their raises as councilmen! Cleveland City Council pay raises are now based on percentages of the city of Cleveland employees collective bargaining. Not only is collective bargaining in the pockets of politicians but politicians are in the pockets of collective bargainers...
More intriguing is the fact that the layers of protections for employees at both the public servant and union levels makes for an endless bureacratic nightmare of accountability.
At one time, I supported Collective Bargaining wholeheartedly. It has made major changes in our country on behalf of workers at large. However, time has changed and Collective Bargaining has become more of a tool for politicians. Politicians only care about getting reelected and using government tax dollars as a bargaining tool. Lobbiests (Lawyers) are also doing the same thing to further their agenda with Collective bargaining...
I still believe in a military structured government where accountability is not continuously diverted by layers of red tape from the onset of basic employee incompetence and laziness. When public servants get complacent, become unethical, and begin to create self serving positions for themselves; then there is a major malfunction and we can see that again and again in local examples.
Perhaps when ordinary citizens speak up about infinite benefits being served up on a silver platter to collective bargaining (MIDDLE CLASS) employees without regard for fiscal accountability and with complete disregard for the residents who must foot the bill-then these middle class beneficiaries will begin to realize that they are not living in reality based numbers.... Our entire local economy and tax base in Cuyahoga County is a joke and until that tax base is reeled in and brought back to reality-none of our government employees deserve pay raises for any reason!
TIGHTEN YOUR BELTS PUBLIC SERVANTS AND COLLECTIVE BARGAINERS....the rest of our world is doing it, what makes you so special? You all act like a bunch of spoiled rotten kids screaming me, me, me!!!

The FBI seems busy today...:)
According to Channel 5 News:
CLEVELAND - Federal agencies conducted a raid at Cleveland City Hall Wednesday night.
The FBI said in a statement that members of the agency "were present in Cleveland City Hall after business hours for authorized law enforcement activity" along with the Internal Revenue Service and the Department of Urban and Housing Development.
Additional information can't be provided as this matter is sealed by the federal court, according to the FBI.
City of Cleveland spokesman Dan Williams said in a statement that they do not discuss ongoing investigations but they "will fully cooperate."
Cleveland City Councilman Brian Kazy told News 5, “I was just as shocked as everyone else. I knew nothing about the investigation and still don’t. I am not aware of any wrong doings at Cleveland City Hall”.
The office of Cleveland City Council said they were not involved in the search and every council person News 5 spoke with today was in the dark about the focus of the search.
"I serve on one of the lead committees that oversees activity of HUD within the city of Cleveland. There was no conversation there," said Cleveland councilman Matt Zone. "We were all caught off guard and we'll wait to see how the facts lay out."
Since HUD agents were involved, there is speculation about which department was the target of the search. Michael Cosgrove, director of Community Development, said he could not comment.
Darryl Madden, with the office of communications for the HUD inspector general, sent the following statement:
