Tomorrow we vote for two very important issues that identify us as a community. The voters of Cuyahoga County consistently support quality of life issues that affect our communities. These are hard times financially for a lot of folks in our communities in Cuyahoga County, but I believe that again our voters will rise to [...]
Ironically, the one county official that should NOT have a primary does. I cannot imagine that Cuyahoga County voters will turn their backs on the man who has had their backs through these tough times. But just in case you need to be reminded who he is, what he stands for and how he works [...]
