The new gov't of Cuyahoga County has been in office for a year now and we have seen some success in the form of an ethics code and different people held accountable in certain positions, however, we have yet to see the type of streamlining and improvement of the economic development side that we were promised(remember, this is the number one job of this Charter gov't).
I was a supporter of Ken Lanci in the race for County Exec but, I did like the platform of Matt Dolan. Matt Dolan would have given us the change the area so desperately needs. He would have cut the staff by more than what we have now, had a strict ethics code in which those violators would be terminated immediately who violated, championed the support of SB5 and destroyed the local Democratic Machine which has done nothing but, lay waste of the region and drive smart people out of region to ensure the selfishness that's been going on!!!
Matt Dolan didn't win because the African American Community refuse to be open minded and at the same time only listen to those SO CALLED leaders who have lead them astray to the point where they feel that they are unable to think for themselves. In saying this, I hope Matt Dolan is taking note of the lack of progress of our current County Executive , saving his money and making connections to strengthen himself in front of some objective elected officials, business people and leaders in order to finally overthrow the machine and the machine candidates that have continued business as usual.
I would be out supporting him in this quest from day one !!!

Nina Tuner
I am so pleased to see that Nina Turner has decided to run against Marcia Fudge. For to long this area has followed SO CALLED leaders such as Pinkey, Forbes and Stokes to only do their bidding for them, while not getting progress for the area. They have continued to support individuals who will tow the party line and do as they pleased. This has proven to be devastating to the African American population of the county but to NEO has well.
Enter Nina Turner, I am not going to tell you that I agree with alot of the things she has said or positions that she has taken but, I will say that she is an upgrade over Marcia Fudge. I say this because Nina has come out and spoken on issues that have disappointed the political black establishment in the region such as issue 6 and being called names because she took this position and spoken about the gatekeepers mentality of the local black establishment. Nina has shown that she will do what is right, even when it's unpopular and that is why I am proud to support her in her quest to dethrone Marcia Fudge and spit in the face of the local black establishment!!!

Why Blacks in NEO shouldn't be allowed to vote...
Once again Cleveland has come to the unfortunate, well known act of voting for incompetent leadership because of the name, party or because they are simply to lazy to do any homework necessary to change. This unfortunate behavior is the real reason why the area has gone to a virtual hell and the reason why it will continue to do so if this behavior doesn't stop!!!
Let's take a look at this past Election where we had a judge who received a ZERO rating from all four bar associations. One of the Bar Associations was from some black lawyers who do these types of ratings!! Judge Angela Stokes has been accused of doing things from ordering unneccessary drug and alcohol tests to repeatedly firing Baliffs because she simply didn't like them. If his isn't enough folks, she has been barred from doing anymore hiring and has been accused from alot of lawyers from taking uneccessary time to get cases done. That being the case she beat a very well respected lawyer in Ed Wade who would have restored some sanity to the bench and much needed integrity that came with it.
The reason why this was done was because the NIGGAS in the Cleveland area voted for her because of her father(who has done more damage than good-that is for another day) and because they are simply to lazy to try and do something else. This is one reason why blacks in Cleveland and if you will, should be barred from voting altogether until they have proven they have demonstrated the neccessary skill in doing homework to know who to vote for.
The other example of this unfortunate ignorance can be shown in the case of Earle B Turner. This guy was shown to not have come to work for months at a time and when confronted about it, gave a lame excuse of having not punched in because he rode his bike to work. If this isn't enough, that has been reported by newspapers about the level of incompetence and cronyism that plagues his department of Clerk of Courts. Incompetence such as not sending hundreds of tickets to the State Bureau of Motor vehicles to notify of those who have suspended licenses and those who continue to drive with suspended licenses. This incompetence from an elected official simply cannot be tolerated but, it is by the NIGGAS of Cleveland who deserve to get the government in which they deserve!!!

Where the Browns failed...
The people of NEO and Browns fans around the world seem appalled by the lack of success by the Browns this year. I don't understand how you can be so surprised because it was obvious that they weren't going to be that good this year for alot of reasons, it's so unfortunate that the people use emotion and hope than sound logic and reasoning when it comes to Browns!!!
Look at it, from Previous posts I have mentioned the obvious and abundant deficiencies in his game. I won't go into detail on what they are but, it's enought to put a stanglehold on the Browns' offense!!! It was apparent to me while Colt was in TX that he wouldn't cut in the NFL and unfortunately that has been true!!!
The other thing is that Front office of the Browns failed. In saying that, I must say I did like the draft a whole lot and it has proven to be plentiful in the first half of the season. The Browns' failed when they weren't aggressive in pursuing free agents to help out and speed up the process of making this team a winner.
In order for the Browns to be successful the Front office is going to have to put aside the personal dislike for this process and get impact players via free agency. This doesn't mean go out and sign alot of high priced guys but, it does mean that they need to be smart about using this. It helps to fill out the roster and it shows the fans that you are serious about winning and won't be to stubborn to just rely on the draft. Finally, not all your picks are going to pan out and you will need guys to fill those gaps and the holes are far to plentiful to just rely on draft, too

Economic Development in NEO
In attending the County economic development meeting given by the County Council, I came away more discouraged then ever before!! I went to the meeting to find out how and what the process was for Ed Fitzgerald to put together his $100 million economic development plan. I was hoping to see and hear things that will show me that we will be on our way to bringing jobs to the region with new industries, no way of doing things. As you might know from previous posts. I have serious doubts if Ed and his staff can accomplish much and unfortunately I am being proven right!!!
In listening to the presentations I was stunned on some of the details that hadn't been considerd while coming up the policy to impliment the program. The fund will go to small businesses and from that it will go thru a series of vetting processes that will decide who and what to fund these small businesses. The problem is that we won't know how long this process is going to be, will be based on the companies gov't signing the no poaching agreement ??
Jack Schron asked the question if it will be an appeal process for those companies rejected and Nate Kelley hadn't considered the prospect. Whatever happened to the merging of the departments, the selling of the county assets, the Development of the Lakefron that Ed promised during the campaign while 92.3 WCPN ??
These are the continued issues and on why Ed Fitzgerald wasn't the person for this position and why the County is where it is because you choose names, party, color of skin and allow influence from those that will benefit the most to steer you in the wrong direction. As a result, you have this huge corruption scandal because they felt that no matter what they do, they were going to be put back into office because you are sleep at the wheel!!!

Colt McCoy...
Yet again we arrive at a point where we are trying to push a QB with very suspect and mediocre skills because he fits the image of what the county is all about. Yet again we are at a point where we try to put blame of anyone and everyone because we refuse to accept the fact that the limitations of Colt McCoy are killing the offense of the Browns and making it easy for defenses to defend the Browns offense. We have seen this movie before with QB's like Brian Sipe, Bernie Kosar, Tim Couch, Derek Anderson, Brady Quinn, Charlie Frye and now Colt McCoy.
In looking at the Colt McCoy it was obvious to me when he was in college that his game wouldn't translate to the NFL game. Alot of people jumped for joy when he was drafted by the Browns. I didn't for a variety of reasons. I didn't see the arm strength consistently downfield and didn't see him being able to throw his receivers open when they were in tight coverage, which is so often the case in the NFL.
Couple of things that has surprised/disappointed me is the that he is unable to recognize blitzes and audible to the appropriate defenses and the other thing is his lack of accuracy in the short passing game. If you're keeping score we have a QB that is simply unable to throw the ball deep so defenses are able to zero in on certain parts of the field instead of defending the entire field, he can't read blitzes and defenses, therefore, it allows the defenses to stack the box to take away the running game and it allows them to blitz because he not only holds on to the ball to long but, isn't accurate enough to hit open WR's once they are open. This makes the offense of line look bad because when teams blitz, they cannot block everyone but, someone is open downfield and the QB is unable to take advantage.
The sad part about is that we have those media members and fans who blame the coaches, the WR's the Oline for the obvious failures of the QB. They fail to realize that the better QB's don't have all pro skilled players, they don't have superior OL's,what they do have is superior QB play that knows how to get the ball to the people when they are open and respected by the defenses so they have to play the entire field!!
One day the people will set aside personal likes and get to the point where talent and skill is what is most important!!!

SB5
Once again the people of OH had a chance to bring forth real change and once again the people of OH have failed. I say this with the unsuccessful passage of SB5 we will once again have the status quo because the people failed to understand that the STATUS QUO IS UNACCEPTABLE. They failed to see that what has been going on for the past 30+ years is unsustainable and cannot go on any longer.
We have unions, who are nothing more than the primary funding for the Democratic agenda. In case you aren't aware the cycle goes like this. While Democrats are in office they support Unions who want more protection and rights and in return the Unions provide Democrats with campaign contributions, endorsements and votes!!! If you don't believe this then you should go and see where Ed Fitzgerald received his votes and check out the county corruption scandal where it was obvious that Democrats and unions were working hand to hand to steal taxpayer money and continue business as usual that has gotten us to be the 45th biggest city when we were once the 6th biggest!!
The obvious problem is the ignorant people of the state who let emotional commercials get in the way of what was best for the state to become competitive with other states that are simply eating our lunch and will continue too. The days of Unions demanding stair step raises in times of austerity, unfair work practices,etc has to come to an end.
One day the people of OH will wake up and have a clear cut vision of who and what they want to be but, until then the people will continue to twist in the wind and lose population, reputation and become even less competitive!!!
