[photos] Early voting in Cuyahoga County, Cleveland, Ohio 11/01/08


From 30th and Euclid, Cleveland, Ohio in front of the Cuyahoga County Board of Elections, Saturday morning, 11/1/08. This view is looking south, toward Euclid, the BOE is the whitish colored building on the right in the distance with the rectangular windows. The group of folks in the street were asked ti disband and the woman with the sandwich-style Obama and Jones posters over her clothes remained and walked the street for a while after that.

A view of the line, which moved constantly, for the most part, but did extend the entire block from Euclid to Chester and then back up, north to south, on the other side of the street.

    Hey Jill, I tried to go vote yesterday morning but the line of cars to get to the Board of Elections was backed up all the way up E 30th to Chester, then backed up on Chester onto the off-ramp from I-90. I decided I’ll try and vote on Monday morning instead.

    We arrived at 30th and Euclid just about 10am, they were turning cars away from the two designated overflow lots on Euclid but we saw cars pulling out, waited and then parked – took about 5-10 mins if that. Then we walked to the line and waited, and waited and- well, you know. :)

    I’m told that your better bet might be to part on Prospect somewhere and frankly, if the weather is nice, I’d park anywhere and just go.

    It IS worth the wait. No question about it.

    Be Warned. PD has this story and will not print it.

    Bay Village operates with an illegal slush fund of over $15 MILLION. Mayor Sutherland, running for County Commissioner, cuts public safety and raised “fees” on homeowners and citizens over $500,000 while sitting on this illegal money. Her record has not been examined by the PD because they endorsed her. Anyone who speaks out against her, pays the consequences. Sutherland needs to learn there are consequences. The State Auditor also has the following information and should be investigating.

    5705.13 Reserve balance accounts – special revenue fund – capital projects fund

    http://codes.ohio.gov/orc/5705.13

    (A) A taxing authority of a subdivision, by resolution or ordinance, may establish reserve balance accounts to accumulate currently available resources for the following purposes:

    (1) To stabilize subdivision budgets against cyclical changes in revenues and expenditures;

    A reserve balance account established for the purpose described in division (A)(1) of this section may be established in the general fund or in one or more special funds for operating purposes of the subdivision.

    The amount of money to be reserved in such an account in any fiscal year shall not exceed five per cent of the revenue credited in the preceding fiscal year to the fund in which the account is established.

    Next, Bay Village Ordinance:

    http://www.conwaygreene.com/BVillage/lpext.dll?f=templates&fn=main-h.htm&2.0

    125.47 GENERAL RESERVE FUND.

    There is hereby established under Ohio R.C. 5705.12, and subject to the approval of the Bureau of Inspection and Supervision of Public Offices of the State of Ohio, a General Reserve Fund. Said fund is established for budget stabilization. The total amount in said fund shall not exceed five percent (5%) of the general fund’s revenue for the preceding fiscal year.

    (Ord. 99-06. Passed 1-11-99.)
