Traffic Enforcement: Man vs. Machine

It seems quite possible that the S.E.P.D. has already implemented a more desirable method for identifying and ticketing errant motorists than traffic cameras. It will be unfortunate if City Council refuses to allow the motorcycle officers and Chief Nietert adequate time to make an informed judgment, as to whether the occasion for cameras is still warranted.

The Plot Thickens

Below is an excerpt from the local website, REALNEO. If you prefer to view the information directly at that website, here is the link:

Amid the many other sketchy financial details surrounding the Cedar Center project is the apparent lack of a backup plan in the event the $14 million “TIF” proposal falls through.

The Cleveland Heights University Heights School District has until December 31, 2009 to render a decision on whether to accept or decline the offer to forfeit the collection of $14 million in taxes over the next 30 years from the Cedar Center property. This arrangement allows the developer to use that money to pay off the construction debt. A persuasion tactic to acquire a “Tax Increment Financing” agreement is the promise of higher property tax revenue with the supposed improvement of the land. Any inference that the development is progressing is speculative “smoke and mirrors” due to the impending decision by the Cleveland Heights University Heights School District.

Election Report 2009

The Candidate filing deadline for the November 3rd election was August 20th.

The Cuyahoga County Board of Elections provides updated information online. Below is the most recent {as of this SEOversight posting date} information at their website for both the City Council election in South Euclid and the South Euclid – Lyndhurst School Board. Please click on the following link if you wish to go directly to this information on the B.O.E. website:

More often than not, schlocky and inadequate information is presented to the public as fact by the local newspaper. {below} On July 23, 2009 the Sun Messenger reported that a contender, Jones, was seeking an SEL School Board seat. According to a front page article published on August 20th, the same person is again named as a school board candidate. However, back on page A10, the aforementioned hopeful appears in another article as a South Euclid City Council candidate.

This is merely one example of many. The potential function and importance of the local newspaper has been a focus of interest to SEOversight. Please also see the previous post Contentious Public Sector Raises All Around.
