A Friend to Flash Mobsters: Mayor Jackson ignores city council’s bid to criminalize smartphones and other electronic devices, in a rare display of solidarity with every other human being on earth. Given that he is the mayor, his silence led to the measure’s passage anyway.

Not sure what this article is about but this city can rock if it hires more police and puts them everywhere downtown. Doesn’t let people sleep on the sidewalk EVER! Look it isnt a bed, there are shelters! get your ass off of my sidewalk! People come here from out of town and they don’t need to see that. Make the downtown park a roundabout with an icerink in the middle if you like or make Progressive field less expensive. It cost too much to take your kids there for the snow rides and if no one goes it will shut down. ADD MORE of the nice people in mellow yellow. I’d even give theem guns to beat up troublmakers. We all know who they are and what they look like. 15 to 25 year old males, usually but not always black. Follow them around town if they look like trouble. RAcial profiling you say? Hell yes! Put a roof over West 6th like they wanted to do in the flats and like they did in old Vegas. For Gods sake get rid of red light cameras, street sweepers that right tickets, the expensive water bills and garbage fines. Attacking the residents of Cle to make money is not a good idea for people like me trying to get people to move into the city. The building department has improved. I still don’t like them but they are teddy bears compared to the old department and last but not least…for Gods sake sell forbes Park, Sell the golf courses the city loses millions on and Sell Burke Lakefront to Cedar Point. The city would not only save from millions not lost but would earn income. Dumas I’m talking to you. Get off of the firefighters backs. Stop raiding the accounts of the police districts, close things that lose money and talk Frank into closing Burke! Merry Christmas. Jackson and sweeney are doing a great job whether we like to admit it or not.Stop listening to that chief of staff Mr. personality though. He needs to stay in the powerhouse more and city hall less. No more attacks on loyal city dwellers.
Nice job Tom. It is apparent that you love Cleveland and have some good ideas for moving it into a more desireable place to live and work and play. I like your positive attitude and your creative thinking.
Agreed – Burke Lakefront has to go. I know it’s on landfill and therefore can’t support buildings, but it needs to be developed for recreational use. It’s ridiculous to keep wasting prime space like that on the an airport that is used by so few people.
