So the dust seems to have settled on the FBI raid. What a suprise, a one party county government is corrupt? There is no accountability. Of course they are skimming for themselves, that's why they wanted the job!
I have studied the charges. It seems that the selfless civil servants in the center of the firestorm (Dimora, Russo, Kelly), all live pretty well on their government salaries. None of them makes terribly more than I do, but I cannot seem to afford the lifestyles (and real estate!) they have. I am sure it was all acquired (and renovated/maintained) legally.
This speaks to the type of people who want to be in government. Why in the world would anyone want to work in the sewer that is Cuyahoga County Government? Any real, honest reformer would be cut to pieces. I wish Debbie Sutherland luck. She will be like a lamb charging into the wolves' den if she is un-lucky enough to be elected.
It is great to see that when the county is losing population faster than any area other than New Orleans (and they had Katrina), our elected leaders are scamming us to their own enrichment. Unfortunately, I have been around some of the most prominent Cuyahoga Democrats in the past. I have yet to encounter one that did not make me want to put my wallet in my front pocket for safe keeping.
