Well, Jimmy Dimora has done it again! He has decided to line the county coffers with taxpayers money without asking if the residents of Cuyahoga County really want to pay more taxes or not. Cuyahoga County already has the highest tax rate in the State of Ohio at 7.5%. So Jimmy Dimora has decided that this new increase is good for the county. Adding an extra .25% would bring in $42 million a year, and the tax runs for the next 20 years! You do the math. That adds up to $840 million! The new convention center is expected to cost $350 million. So what are they going to do with the other $500 million? Line their pockets and hand out pet projects to their cronies! Just a side thought--the properties that the county is looking at, for the new Convention Center, just happen to be owned by Jimmy Dimora's buddies, Forest City Enterprises (see my past post on Jimmy and his ties with Forest City).
If Cuyahoga residents think that they can escape the high tax by purchasing items in other counties and having them delivered to their Cuyahoga County residence, think again! The politicians have included a residency clause that would require stores to charge customers the higher tax if they are purchasing something in another county and having it delivered to Cuyahoga County.
Well, the taxpayer once again gets the shaft, and the big shots get the money! And they can't seem to understand why people are leaving the county in droves!?
At least, for once, they didn't ask that smokers foot the entire bill!

Old Glory Made In China? BUY AMERICAN!
With the 4th of July fast approaching, I would like to ask that all of you buy your American flag ONLY if it says "Made In USA" on it. Granted, only a small portion of American flags are imported (mostly from China), but our flag should be the exclusive property of the United States of America, and should be copyrighted. Currently, it is public property, and therefore can be made by anyone. We should protect this symbol of our freedom.
Screw our trade relations with China! We should draw the line on cheap Chinese imports with our flag. It should be deemed criminal to produce our flag outside of this country. At least let us keep this one thing!

Wal Mart Shipping Ohio Jobs Overseas
Between 2001 and 2004 Ohio lost one of every six manufacturing jobs. This adds up to 170,000 jobs in 4 years. Cleveland alone lost 40,000 jobs. Why?
Wal Mart
Look at the charts below:
Wal Mart
Look at the charts below:
Last year alone, Wal Mart sourced out $18 billion worth of goods from China that used to be made in the U.S. In 1995, Wal Mart was big on "Buy American" with only 6% of its' merchandise imported. Today, over 60% of Wal Mart merchandise is imported. The import figure would be much higher, but the Wal Mart Supercenters that have groceries (mostly grown in America) has helped to keep the figure down.
I found reports on 4 companies that used to be in Ohio, but now have their plants in China, thanks to Wal Mart. Remember Huffy Corp., Rubbermaid, Mr. Coffee and Thomson Electronics? Those are just a few, but there are others--Hasbro, Ohio Art, Texas Instruments, Hoover, World Kitchen and Phillips have also closed their Ohio plant thanks to Wal Mart. How does this happen?
Wal Mart is the biggest company in the world. It generates more profit than McDonalds, Boeing, UPS, The Gap, Nike, Apple Computers, Circuit City, Best Buy, Heinz, Office Depot and Halliburton combined! Companies that supply Wal Mart can't tell Wal Mart what a product will cost. Wal Mart tells these companies what it will pay for their products. If they can't cut their price, Wal Mart will go elsewhere. Check out these examples:
Huffy Bikes Huffy accounts for 85% of all bikes sold in the U.S. Wal Mart is the largest seller of bikes in the U.S. Wal Mart told Huffy it had to lower its' prices or Wal Mart would stop selling Huffy bikes. Since Wal Mart was their biggest customer, they had to comply. Huffy was forced to close its' Celina, Ohio plant and move the work overseas. By 2005, even though Huffy made its' bikes in China, still could not meet the ever-increasing demands from Wal Mart to lower their prices. They were forced to reorganize and an agreement gave its' Chinese suppliers controlling interest in the company. Bottom line--gone is another American icon--now a Chinese company. How can the Chinese make a bike so cheap, that we can't compete?
At the Baoan Bicycle Factory in China, workers:*Work 15 hours a day, 7 days a week*Earn 25 to 41 cents an hour*Have no health insurance or pension*Are not allowed to talk during working hours*Limited to 2 poor quality meals a day*Are fired if they complain about working conditions or refuse overtime
Here's the irony of the situation. Wal Mart built a supercenter on the 50 acre site that was once the home of the Celina Huffy plant. Sick!
Rubbermaid The company was in business for over 85 years and they were born in Wooster, Ohio. They were renowned for their high quality and innovative designs. Around 1995, Wal Mart decided to carry Rubbermaid, and became their biggest customer. When Rubbermaids' raw material prices increased by 80%, they went to Wal Mart to ask for a price increase. Wal Mart told then to go fly a kite! Wal Mart replaced much of their Rubbermaid line with Sterlite, a cheaper brand made overseas. Rubbermaid's profits dropped by 30%. Rubbermaid finally closed its' flagship plant in Wooster. The cost? Loss of over 1250 Ohio jobs. The closing killed the city of Wooster, and cost the local school system over $1 million a year. The trickle-down effect cost almost 100 teachers their jobs and surely impacted hundreds (maybe thousands) of other businesses and individuals part (or all) of their livelyhood.
Thomson Electronics Thomson Consumer Electronics operated its' RCA television manufacturing plant in Circleville, Ohio. They supplied Sanyo with big screen televisions. In 2003, Sanyo was pressured to lower their prices by Wal Mart. Sanyo increased their (cheaper) imports (up to 4 million units) from China. Thomson lost almost all of its' orders from Sanyo, and closed their Circleville, Ohio plant costing Ohio over 1,000 jobs.
Mr. Coffee In 1985, Wal Mart demanded that Mr. Coffee cut their prices. In order to meet Wal Mart's demands, Mr. Coffee was forced to explore moving their plant overseas. According to a Mr. Coffee former executive, "Wal Mart encouraged offshore production even as it promoted a "Buy American" campaign". by 1997, 40% of their production was from China. In 2000, they closed their Glenwillow plant and moved it to Mexico (costing 340 jobs). In 2003, they closed their Mexican plant and moved it to China. The Chinese even undercut the Mexicans! In order to meet Wal Mart's price demands, they cut wages from $10.00/hr.(in Ohio) to 25 cents/hr.(in China). The irony:
The amount they saved by moving their plants overseas (an estimated $7 million) was paid out to their CEO (Jerry Levin) in performance bonuses. I'm kind of pissed off at this one. Not only at Wal Mart for making Mr. Coffee to play the "import card" but at Mr. Coffee executives for directly profiting from the misfortunes of the common man in Ohio.
In Conclusion If you want low prices, you go to Wal Mart. But what does this do for our country? It puts American workers out of work! Wal Mart is using its' power to force Americans to make a false choice between good jobs and lower prices. Wal Mart's size has allowed it to remake the American economy, substituting its' narrow interests for honored American values, including good jobs, family-supporting wages and affordable health care.

Union Officials Working To Line Their Own Pockets
One of the main themes of my blog posts is, that power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely!
Unlike the title of my blog would suggest, Union Officials are much more concerned with taking care of themselves...
On April 30, Dennis P. Harper, former branch president of National Postal Mail Handlers Local 304, was sentenced in U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Ohio to three years probation, including three months house arrest, for embezzling $2,543.10 in union funds. He also was ordered to make restitution in that amount. Harper was convicted in December.
On April 4, Ronald Schweitzer, former president of Local 1967 of the Paper, Allied-Industrial, Chemical and Energy Workers International Union, was indicted in U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Ohio on one count of embezzling union funds during 2002-05 in the amount of $58,305.30.
On March 15, Deborah Walters, former president of Local 11, Chapter 8330, of the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees, pled guilty in federal court for the Southern District of Ohio to embezzling more than $10,000 in union funds. She had been charged last October with one count of embezzlement and five counts of falsifying union records. Chapter 8330 represents employees of Warren Correctional Institution.
On February 16, Michael Griffie, an electrical contractor, was sentenced in Hamilton County, Ohio, Court of Common Pleas, to one year of community service. He’d been charged last March with aggravated theft of property or services worth $100,000 or more from IBEW Local 212. He also was charged with tampering with, and forging, market recovery fund forms, with the intent of defrauding the local. Two women involved in the case, Rachetta Johnson and Charlene Monroe, were sentenced last September. The actions follow an investigation by the Labor Department’s Office of Labor-Management Standards
On January 24, Russell Liming, former business manager and financial secretary for Sheet Metal Workers Local 183, was sentenced in federal court for the Southern District of Ohio to one week of imprisonment followed by three years of probation for bank fraud. He had claimed on a loan application to be acting on behalf of the local, and subsequently used the proceeds for personal purposes. He also will have to make $2,421 in restitution to Franklin Savings & Loan, and pay a $250 fine and a $100 special assessment. Liming pleaded guilty in October.
On December 18, Boni Segura, formerly secretary for Local 18 of the International Union of Operating Engineers, was sentenced in U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Ohio to five years probation and ordered to make $5,548.98 in immediate restitution to the Fidelity and Deposit Company of Maryland. She pleaded in August to one count of embezzling more than $5,700 in funds from the Cleveland-based union.
On December 7, Nanette Peterson, former treasurer for American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees Local 11, Chapter 2597, was sentenced in federal court for the Southern District of Ohio to three years probation and 100 hours of community service, and ordered to make restitution to the local in the amount of $5,409.29 within 30 days. She had pleaded guilty in August to embezzling more than $6,300 in funds from the union, which represents corrections facility employees in the central part of the state.
On October 5, Jereika Ward, ex-treasurer for International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers Local 998, was sentenced in U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Ohio to three years probation with six months of home detention for embezzling $46,708.97 from the union. Of that sum, she will have to make $24,118.97 in restitution. She had pleaded guilty in July to embezzlement and filing a false report.
On August 4, Peggy Sue Carnes, former financial secretary-treasurer for Local 5-621 of the Paper, Allied-Industrial, Chemical and Energy Workers International Union, was sentenced in U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Ohio to two years probation and three years home confinement, and ordered to pay $8,019.73 in restitution, the amount of union funds she had embezzled. She pleaded guilty back in May.

Lorain, Ohio Bridge Lighting
I was at the International Festival on friday night to enjoy a little Summertime fun with my brother-in-law. After paying $6.00 for a lame calzone, and dropping $12.00 on three 8oz. Guiness beers, we got to see the much awaited lighting of the Charles Berry bridge.
The Mayor, County Commissioners and Port Authority officials all stood up and gave long winded speeches about how great this project was for the city of Lorain. Also mentioned, under the cuff, was the cost to light the bridge--a meager $250,000! It reminded me of a silver Christmas tree that my parents once owned that had that revolving multi-colored spotlight underneath it to change the colors of the tree. I was a little un-impressed and wonder if we spent our (taxpayer) dollars wisely on this project?

Jokes
A teacher asks her class, ''If there are 5 birds sitting on a fence and you shoot one of them, how many will be left?'' She calls on little Johnny.
''None, they all fly away with the first gunshot.''
The teacher replies, ''The correct answer is 4, but I like your thinking.'' Then Little Johnny says, ''I have a question for YOU. There are three women sitting on a bench having ice cream. One is delicately licking the sides of the triple scoop of ice cream. The second is gobbling down the top and sucking the cone. The third is biting off the top of the ice cream. Which one is married?''
The teacher, blushing a great deal, replies, ''Well I suppose the one that's gobbled down the top and sucked the cone.''
''The correct answer is the one with the wedding ring on...but I like your thinking.''
A man travelling by plane was in urgent need of a restroom facility. But each time he tried, it was occupied. The flight attendant, aware of his predicament, suggested he use the attendant's ladies room, but cautioned him not to press any of the buttons.
There next to the paper roll were four buttons marked WW, WA, PP and ATR.
Making the mistake so many men make of not listening to a woman, he disregarded what she said when his curiosity got the best of him.
He carefully pressed the WW button and immediately a gentle flush of Warm Water sprayed on his bare bottom. He thought "Wow" these gals really have it nice!!
So a little more boldly he pressed the WA button and body temperature Warm Air blew across his wet bottom and dried it comfortably.
"Aha" he thought, "no wonder these women take so long in the bathroom with these kinds of services!"
So he pushed the next button PP with anticipation. A soft disposable Powder Puff swung below him and dusted his bottom lightly with talc.
"Man, this is great," he thought as he reached out for the ATR button.
When he awoke in the hospital, the morphine was just wearing off...confused he buzzed the nurse to find out what happened.
He explained the last thing he remembered was intense pain in the ladies room on the plane.
The nurse explained, "Yes, you must have been having a great time until you pushed the Automatic Tampon Removal button."
A first-grade teacher was having trouble with one of her students.
The teacher asked, "Eddy what is your problem?" Eddy answered, "I'm too smart for the first-grade. My sister is in the third -grade and I'm smarter than she is! I think I should be in the third-grade too!"
The teacher had had enough.
She took Eddy to the principal's office.
While Eddy waited in the outer office, the teacher explained to the principal what the situation was.
The principal told the teacher he would give the boy a test and if he failed to answer any of his questions he was to go back to the first-grade and behave.
The teacher agreed.
Eddy was brought in and the conditions were explained to him and he agreed to take the test.
Principal: "What is 3 x 3?" Eddy: "9".
Principal: "What is 6 x 6?" Eddy: "36".
And so it went with every question the principal thought a third-grade should know.
The principal looks at the teacher and tells her, "I think Eddy can go to the third-grade."
The teacher says to the principal, "Let me ask him some questions?"
The principal and Eddy both agree.
The teacher asks, "What does a cow have four of that I have only two of?" Eddy, after a moment, "Legs."
Teacher: "What is in your pants that you have but I do not have?"
The principal wondered, why does she ask such a question!
Eddy replied, "Pockets."
Teacher: "What does a dog do that a man steps into?" Eddy: "Pants"
Teacher: What's starts with a C and ends with a T, is hairy, oval, delicious and contains thin whitish liquid? Eddy: Coconut
The principal's eyes open really wide and before he could stop the answer,
Eddy was taking charge.
Teacher: What goes in hard and pink then comes out soft and sticky? Eddy: Bubblegum
Teacher: What does a man do standing up, a woman do sitting down and a dog do on three legs?
The principal's eyes open really wide and before he could stop the answer.
Eddy: Shake hands
Teacher: Now I will ask some "Who am I" sort of questions, okay? Eddy: Yep.
Teacher: You stick your poles inside me. You tie me down to get me up. I get wet before you do. Eddy: Tent
Teacher: A finger goes in me. You fiddle with me when you're bored. The best man always has me first.
Principal was looking restless and bit tense.
Eddy: Wedding Ring
Teacher: I come in many sizes. When I'm not well, I drip. When you blow me, you feel good. Eddy: Nose
Teacher: I have a stiff shaft. My tip penetrates. I come with a quiver. Eddy: Arrow
Teacher: What word starts with an 'F' and ends in 'K' that means a lot of excitement? Eddy: Firetruck
The principal breathed a sigh of relief and told the teacher, "Put Eddy in the fifth-grade, I missed the last ten questions myself."
''None, they all fly away with the first gunshot.''
