Resolution: 52-10 was requested by Councilman Moe Romeo and introduced by acting Council President Ed Icove. It appears that Icove & Romeo were the only members of City Council privy to details regarding Resolution: 52-10 prior to July 25th, when other members of council were informed - barely 24 hours before a meeting when they were being asked to vote on the matter.
Councilman Tony Caroscio: “…It’s very frustrating that we continue to do things that look sneaky whether they are or not that’s the way they look. It’s costing the city money. Instead of finding ways to work with the residents and do what’s right, we continue to find ways to not do what’s right and not look good as we’re sitting up here…”
Councilwoman Sunny Simon: “…I don’t think in this case, the law is for me, at this point necessarily clear…" *** “…The last thing I think we need for the city is to end up in court in litigation over something like this it could impact our residents and the credibility of this council…”

Wow .. that's arrogant.
Inept I sort of expect from city officials .. but this is like the city saying "pfft .. sue me".
Call their bluff. I'd be happier to donate to such a cause than to the various cousins acting as "assistants to the assistant" down at city hall via a tax levy.
What an incredible bluff! Does the city *really* want to get caught up in litigation on this?
I've said it before and I'll repeat it here: Welo fights dirty and she wants to make examples of people.
What a scam!
Remember a few years back, they slipped thru a change to alter the city charter to allow public employees to serve on city council.
That little move helps strengthens their stranglehold.
This initiative to allow residents some control on taxes is counter to them having it their way. I welcome the opportunity to donate and knock on doors for this brave group of citizens who woke up, stood up, spoke up, and made sense to many.
How can I help? Joe J. Liptow
If you wish to donate to the cause make checks payable to Citizens for Accountable Government. Send checks to 1120 Dorsh Road, South Euclid, OH. Any amount of a donation is welcome as we are incurring mounting legal expenses. Our legal counsel will be presenting his legal opinion tomorrow evening at the special council meeting. Please attend and voice your support of our initiative. - Tom Brown
