The Observation Deck

Cuyahoga County will continue to bleed out into surrounding counties.

When the Cleveland Clinic completes its new hospital in Mentor, (yet another impatient facility, yet they INSIST we don't need inpatient beds!) you will see Marymount and Euclid Hospitals close. Two more losses for our county, and like Lakewood, they are in older suburbs facing continued population losses and financial issues (Garfield Heights and Euclid.)

Yet no one challenges the Clinic. They do as they please with the assent of our so called "leaders."

Those political donations they make seem well spent.

Bill,

I don't believe that Summers would be upset were Key Bank to leave Lakewood. However, I believe First Federal of Lakewood would be a different story. Look at their Board Members. Summers is on the Board. It appears that there could be some strange happenings at that bank. More to come.

I have already called his office and informed him of some of the issues we are facing. I believe there is enough corruption at the judicial level.

Type in "Judge O'Donnell foreclosure fraud" under Google and it will bring up a whole list of search results in regards to this issue.

I can assure you he is a man of extraordinary character and integrity. Our case is in good and fair hands. He is a man of the law. While I greatly appreciate your research, especially the recent posting about Nailah Byrd, your assumptions about this judge are way off base. I will vote for him and I encourage others to do the same. Honorable men that serve the people and uphold the law are rare these days and should be revered. Please don't tell people to vote against him based on assumptions. There are plenty of rotten apples in our city to focus on. Bill Call is certainly holding our leaders accountable for their dishonest actions. Your research holds them accountable too. Let's continue this good discourse so the truth can be spread to our fellow constituents. Assumptions are just not good and can only discredit your valuable work.

By the way, your previous posts regarding the properties of Ed Fitzgerald and Ken Haber were eye opening. I have yet to understand how their homes were acquired via "survivorship deeds" for only $190k. Is this business as usual or a small piece of a corrupt picture?
