Pee Dee Looks Past Imperial Ave. To Towpath, Public Square
It didn’t even take a day for the Pee Dee to setup the next pillage and plunder of Cleveland.
Listen to what the Pee Dee said editorially the day after the casino issue, strongly backed by the paper, had to say about the use of its tax revenue:
“So consider this idea, which is already germinating among downtown boosters (read: looters): Divert some of the new property taxes the casino will pay – from the city’s share, not the school district’s – to complete the Towpath Trail and Canal Basin Park, to redesign Public Square and to add pocket parks, waterfront access and other residential enhancements.”
Forget about Imperial Avenue. Forget about all the Cleveland Imperial Avenues.
Let’s spend a few more million on a bike path and redo Public Square. Again.
Just read the intention of this proposal. You will see a community looting being pushed by the Pee Dee.
This is what the Pee Dee – acting as front for the Greater Cleveland Partnership and its corporate thugs – wants to do with any revenue that might come to the city from the casino. Disgusting.
Can you believe it?
How insensitive is that on the day following the discovery of multi-murders and a city police force and government that allowed what happened on Imperial Avenue to happen. As the bodies are being ushered out.
Ms. Goldberg and the editorial staff of the Pee Dee, have you no shame?
To whom do you owe allegiance – certainly not to the people of Cleveland? Certainly not to those in dire need.
Here you are already spending tax dollars, the result of a sickening monopoly casino, on the trinkets you want for downtown.
My God, when does it stop?

It's certainly in line with
It's certainly in line with the gloating piece of crap that passed for an editorial the day after the elections, the same one that branded the Issue 5 leaders — the ones who represented a REAL cross-section of county constituencies — as "out of touch" with their constituencies because they could not overcome the enormous money deficit that bought the corporate takeover of the county, with collusion of the PD. I think it's interesting that the closer you get to the inner city, the less it passed by — and that it came close to falling in Cleveland despite the money blitz. And they STILL paint "Mason-Zanotti" as some kind of clean government heroes, without ever pointing out the obvious self-interest in Mason's role and the mysteriousness of Zanotti's role who represents no "Democrats" except to the Plain Dealer, which fails to note that he was effectively thrown out of the party last year, declined to run again for mayor of Parma Heights for reasons that are still developing and that he represents exactly nobody — and that his interest in county government "reform" was sudden and unprecedented (as was Mason's). Do we really have ANY idea who Zanotti represents?
Lots to investigate; apparently no will to do the investigating. The real out-of-touch entity is the PD which ignores the problems of the people who live in the region to the point of gross journalistic negligence. I never thought I'd say this, but after Tuesday, i believe this region would be better off without a daily newspaper.
