So the brand spankin’ new Cuyahoga County Council has already been smeared with BS, causing critics to say it’s business as usual among local politicians.
Before the county’s legislative body could even mouth an oath of office and table up for their inaugural official sit down, a group of Democrats got all Machiavelli and held a backroom meeting to decide to support C. Ellen Connally as council president, according to the Plain Dealer. They, for some reason, don’t seem to think there’s anything wrong with that.
A lot of other people, however, are pretty pissed.

Way to screw the pooch on this folks!
leadership is nobody’s business, why in hell did we vote for reform. It’s not going to happen but all should be canned now, where is FitzGerald. Does anyone
believe there not going to more deals in the back room? This new form of government
hasn’t even started yet and I’m pissed already. I don’t know if we can wait four years to vote all these idiots out.
