		<description><![CDATA[June 13, 2010&#8230; So why have we wasted all the time and energy with a supposed “reformed” Cuyahoga County Government when Joe Roman and the Greater Cleveland Partnership can decide for us. Why bother with any democracy? Who needs it. The Plain Dealer – it its usual uncritical manner &#8211; reported last week that Joe [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[June 5, 2010&#8230; The $800 million plus insured by the quarter-percent extra sales tax by Cuyahoga County Commissioners wasn’t sugary enough for MMPI and the Chicago Kennedys. So the Ohio State Legislature added more sweeteners to the deal. The County is collecting some $40 million a year on the tax passed by Tim Hagan and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[April 18, 2010&#8230; Here are some questions I would appreciate answered from the Cuyahoga County Commissioners and/or their attorney Jeffery Applebaum. I don’t believe any of the questions would interfere with the sticky problem of negotiating the best prices for the project. That’s the excuse being used to keep the public in the dark, it [...]]]></description>

Keep it coming, says Tim. This is to fulfill the agenda of the Greater Cleveland Partnership. The corrupters of our civic life mentioned in my post below. [...]]]></description>

I guess all the great needs of this area have been superseded by special interests again. Let’s not talk about the Great Recession or people’s needs. Let’s just satisfy Tim Hagan, Jimmy Dimora and Peter Lawson Jones [...]]]></description>
