I'LL SEE YA'ALL DOWN THE ROAD FRIENDS.
The rambling diatribe above aside, would someone like to summarize what the takeaway is from all of these disparate articles?
From what I heard, the city engineer wants to relocate his office to South Euclid and needs some variances from the BZA to make this work. I don't think this is out of the ordinary and I also don't think there is any ethical or conflict of interest violation here. There are no city funds involved in this process and the engineer himself is not voting on anything. So, on the surface, this looks like a good move where the engineer wants to move a business into SE. Am I wrong? I don't know about any of those other issues, but there are two sides to every coin.
The city engineer cannot appear before any board or commission of the city. Read the charter. The guy who ends up going in front of the BZA is another employee of the same engineering firm. Don't know if the charter prohibits just the city engineer, or does it encompass the entire firm? The ordinance passed by SE council technically enters into an agreement with the company, not the individual. Good question. Also, the owners of the property in SE seeking the variance are at the same address as the engineering firm.
We can only hope the FBI and Attorney General are on the ball and have SE under the microscope, Like they are doing with Welo friend (can I have another sandwich to stuff down my mouth) J Dimora(sp?)
There are at the very least 4 persons that need to go.
1. Mayor for hiring the Law Director and Engineer.
2. The Law director who has past ethical questions, where he had been sued by two separate entities (who received judgements for failure to pay bills. The Law Director had to fork over the money in both instances. Had the Law director's history for failing to pay bills happened before he passed the bar(assuming he passed the bar), he wouldn't have been able to even get his license to practice ( because of ethics violations).
3. A.B. Engineer. If it looks improper it probably is. Believe the people investigating him. They have nothing to gain!
4. Councilman Miller should be forced to resign since he violated ethics (which he warned others of doing quoting the ordinance on council Decorum) He blatantly attacks citizens for disagreements with council. Not to mention his incoherent letter read into council minutes and partially published in the Sun News. See the letter in earlier SEO .
This is just the beginning. No doubt more disturbing details will emerge with investigation and others may also be forced to resign.
And let's not forget Icove, who protests the most defending this City council. You know what they say about people that are that defensive. and protest too much Psych 101 -"perhaps they have something to hide." Remember since he has been sitting on Council the City has lost approx. 8,000 residents. (WHY?)
On a positive note!! The City has an outstanding Police and Fire department. They do their jobs and treat the Citizen's properly.
As for the Sun News. The good news is that they let the leaders of the City hang themselves by their own doings. The bad news. Too few people bother to read the Sun Press.
That's ok because when the timing is right local, and national news organizations will get the facts. (i.e. CNN's AC360 Keeping them honest.)
For now KEEP THE SUNSHINE on this administration. They are afraid of the Sunshine and will do what they can to skirt the law.
Now I want to throw up too.
This whole issue doesn't bother me so much as the lack of contract with Coral Company to redevelop Cedar Center.
Keep your eye on the ball, SEO - if the city fails to find a developer to take over the redevelopment and liabilities that the city now owns, there will be hell to pay for the city administration. That's the place you want to keep looking - Cedar Center.
YOU ARE RIGHT-ALL EYES ON CEDAR CENTER. It will be the biggest failure of this administration without some kind of intervention.
To be honest I think PR(Coral) suck as developers. They didn't deliver on Shaker Square Makeover, and How about that New and empty parking garage behind the Cedar Lee. That was going to connect new residential retail mix. Well despite all the great looking signs of what was to be he withdrew from it, leaving a vacant parking garage and vacant lot. And UH Cedar Center. Not much different then before except there is a new CVS building and The Whole Foods. Not what I believed was promised. Now there are fewer vendors. And basically he refaced an older building.
For SE we deserve top notch stuff, and I am not convinced this project can be handled by someone local. (sad, but true)We need visionaries who can see 30 years down the line. That's why it has to be done right, without any downsizing and cutting corners And it takes developers with money. Today's economy will not,be tomorrows -so Coral is also a problem.
