Alderman are very lazy and mine does nothing either. The only two I have any respect for is Jackstadt and Jenkins. But little two can do against the remaining 8 and the mayor.
Well Opie what makes me hate the man is he does things that are illegal and if not a politician would be in big trouble. He failed to pay our police and firefighters pension funds at the required levels stated by the state. Thats like me and you not paying our taxes. Could you go for years not paying your taxes and nothing happen?
He also has made false accusations about people that have hurt there lives, he denies benefits to people who have earned them, if he dislikes someone he will do what he can to hurt them financially and morally. I can not get to detailed and the people I know involved are still fighting some of this in court. Which is another point. He fights fire and police with valid comp claims and wastes the taxpayers money when fighting these people and all doctors on both sides have agreed. This is our taxpayer money going to an attorney cause he does not like someone. He is a vermin and forgets the firefighters and his name is the only reason he is mayor, oh and cause sparks ran. He very got 1/3 the vote the first time around and had sparks not run he would of lost miserably to a better man Breeden. Ed has no degree in business, or anything for that matter, but yet he acts like he is great and does so much. All he does is take some credit that others have done.
I take very personal when a politician is unethical at this low level of politics. H also does not care about the health of the city as he let US Steel slide on EPA violations by excepting some hybrid cars for himself and the fire chiefs to drive. Very sad. I do not like seeing anyone receive things they do not deserve or earned or entitled to. He takes full power of his position with doing nothing to earn it except get luck to be elected.
