Vance for Senate

 

Vance for Senate

Even before Trump endorsed Vance for senate I was in communication with him so when the endorsement came I was not surprised

This is the dialog I had with JD Vance. Unfortunately I deleted the very first question I had asked. That question was concerning his thoughts on Trump and being a never Trumper

Gas Tax DeWino

Gas Tax DeWino drunk on taxes has asked for an 18 cent tax increase on gas.

If the info I received is correct that would put Ohio at the 5th highest in the nation. Currently Ohio is at 28 cents but under DeWine's proposal it would be 46 cents.

A comment and my answer following.
Unfortunately this has to be done. What's interesting is other states are looking at a tax based on miles driven. I don't recall seeing how they would execute that but my guess would be when you register your vehicle you would pay the tax. How they would validate the miles would be the biggest challenge I'd think.

Not at all hard with today's computerized cars. Check points or computer chips at mile markers on freeways or roads can detect data from your car and sent to a central bank of miles you have driven. For older cars there may be a cash incentive like cash for clunkers to rid the roads of them or a large usage fee to drive these older vehicles which would be needed each year.

Many issues though are being overlooked. Obama and the Green movements push for the electric car is another issue looming. Whoops we use the roads but don't pay a gas tax. So this is a problem not solved easily that is why lazy millionaire politicians raise taxes, it is easy and simple - I don’t have to think to get a paycheck.

Higher gas prices means less traveling means less gas being sold means less taxes being brought in and then we start all over and go back to well we need more money, lets raise taxes and the cycle starts again and again and again...

How much will this cost? Let’s say a minimum of 10 gallons is used per week. That additional 18 cents equals $1.80 X 52 weeks costs close to another $100 per year to drive. How many of you have $100 to spare?

My solution, cut gov programs, abolish the state income tax and then hike the gas tax anything other than this order impeach DeWine now.

Carey On….

I added to the original posting:



Can it be, nahhh it can't be, not in Cuyahoga County, there can't be anymore hanky panky going on.

Sad! Third world politics are going on here. But really you can blame the voters, the same ones who put criminal slick back in, charlie wrangler and yes the Cleveland shake down artists.

This happened Monday morning:

There will be a meeting of the Cuyahoga County Council-elect tomorrow morning at 8:00 am at the Cleveland State University Levin College of Urban Affairs building in the Bonda room on the second floor. One very significant topic of discussion will likely be the very recent action of a limited number of Democratic members-elect who met in private and at a member's house to select who they wanted to have as their President of Council. If you believe as I do, then you are probably appalled at this display of "corrupt politics as usual" for Cuyahoga county. If you are available to attend this meeting, it would be valuable to have a presence at this meeting to express dissatisfaction at this kind of behavior.

Geoff Rapp
Organizer of the Westlake 9.12 Project
State of Ohio Coordinator, The 9.12 Project

Today my friend Joe sent me his rant about politics as usual in Cleveland.
According to the Plain Dealer and the web, this new county council that was just elected took it upon themselves and held a secret meeting . The meeting was attended by Democrats, that were elected by the people to represent Cuyahoga County to nominate a likely president. I am outraged this new form of government was supposed to bring a new way of doing things, instead we have new faces and the same old mentality going on. Why could not these people wait for the public meeting to occur and air out their problems or issues? No, instead they held a private meeting in the hopes of circumventing the natural process and avoid the transparency that the public was promised when this system was first promoted to us..

We were promise no more closed door deals. These people are acting like the current Euclid Mayor, and doing business in the same manner that he is.

I am glad that I am more of a Populist Democrat vs just a Democrat. I am ashamed at what has recently transpired with this new board. The bonds of promised trust have been compromised ,and now we the people need to be very vigilant of what is happening in the county level.

I wish that the public at large would have voted in more Independents, Republicans, and non political agenda people than what they did. The selection of a leader should have happened during the general assembly meeting, not inside someones home with only a handful of people to the the decision.

Next thing you maybe will see is more of the political favoritism going around that occurred with Dimora and Russo leadership.Or maybe yet this group will take it upon themselves to drop all charges against the guilty.

I ask that all good and decent citizens in Cuyahoga County call, write to, or even write to the newspaper and demand that this highly controversial meeting be rescinded and allow the natural procedures to take place in a public forum.

Both Connally and Miller have done tons of damage that can never be forgiven.

Seven Candidates - Young and Murphy

   I hear a lot of complaints about our leaders and elected officials. And I keep telling people NOT all are thieving liars. You need to attend the different functions, you need to meet the candidates face to face to find out. Here are a few that I endorse.


   It was hard to narrow it down of whom to endorse as I have met many fine qualified people. So this is my short list of seven candidates that I believe are honest, have integrity, still believe in America and that can make a difference. Most of these candidates have never held office before. I call this the year of the businessman/non-politician.

   3. Ron Young candidate State Rep. Eastern Lake County.
  There are as many reasons to vote for Ron Young as there are reasons not to vote for his opponent, current State Rep Mark Schneider. Plain and simple Mark Schneider is a Cuyahoga plant! How he ever was elected is beyond me. Prior to moving into Lake County and running for office he never even registered to vote. Plus there are rumblings going on that he may be implicated with the mess going on in Cuyahoga. We don't need this here in Lake.

About Ron Young.
Even though Ron held a seat as state rep he is a small business owner and has created jobs.

The Dems have tried to dishonestly paint Ron Young as a big government candidate. What a joke.

Ron Young was instrumental in getting me involved with local issues and politics. He held a rally back in about 2000 on the Painesville Court House steps protesting the proposal to charge a parking fee (admittance) to all Ohio parks. It is because of Ron Young and Senator Grendell we enjoy our parks here in Ohio freely.

Ron Young is very strong on property rights. He passed the“Young Amendment”, which was the largest permanent income tax reduction in Ohio history. And passed legislation that lowered the inheritance tax.

Ron Young previously was state representative of Eastern Lake County but was term limited out. We need to return Ron Young, especially now with so many of our freedoms being infringed upon.

4. Bob Murphy candidate Lake County Commissioner

Bob Murphy is part of the trend of candidates that are business owners and not career politicians. Bob has run a local business for 45 years. He has invested in his community.

Bob Murphy is running against current County Commissioner Dan Troy who has ties with Dimora and Russo. Enough said on that.

There are other differences Bob Murphy has with the long time incumbent Dan Troy.

Listing just three....
Bob is incensed over the million dollar dog motel (Lake County Dog Shelter) as he likes to call it. Bob Murphy is adamantly against regionalism, a socialist like plan for spreading the wealth and strongly against the Mexican Matricula. In simple terms the matricula is an ID card for illegals - how absurd!

Its important Bob Murphy gets elected as its a big step in making sure Cuyahoga County thinking stays out and Lake County remains Lake County.

                       ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

   People tell me all the time but what can I do?
   Simple - Get Involved! With modern technology such as cell phones and the Internet its very easy to do so. Contact these candidates and ask for voter lists and make calls on their behalf, blast out emails in their support, post this message and others on different forums and blogs and donate.
  But the easiest thing you can do is simply tell a friend, vote for.....

  Even if you live in another state help us here in NE Ohio, we need it!
  We are at a serious crossroad my friends! Remember what Euclid did to me?

This is what we are dealing with in Ohio

Friends,
This is what we are dealing with in Ohio - A MAD MAN!
Our Governor is becoming unraveled. He's losing it.

Governor Strickland once said in a speech about the virtues of living in Ohio

"...a state where you can fly, swim, hike or run to your hearts content."

 OH that's just marvelous, it does wonders for Ohio's tourism industry.  No where else but in Ohio can you do those things.



Watch this clip and look at his eyes. Always look at a persons eyes. Strickland's eyes are mean and angry. They scare me.

http://www.ohiogop.org/index.php/library/detail/chairman_dewine_calls_on_gov._strickland_to_apologize_for_divisive_remarks/



Friends if ever in Ohio, please call me so together we can fly, swim, hike or run to our hearts content.  We will have fun!

Ohio's Auditor of State one of the campaigns I will be helping

Carey,
Thank you!!!

I have been very good/best friends with Seth Morgan and his wife Debra for over 10 years. During that time we have attended the same church and I can attest to both his and Debra’s true faith in our Lord Jesus Christ. ( as well as my own )

Prayer has been an very important part of every campaign he has run.
We pray before meetings, before events, before walking door to door.
One of my most memorable times is the night before the Nov ’06 election when Seth was running for County Auditor when our campaign team gathered at Seth and Debra’s house for pizza and prayer. And although we lost the race the peace in our hearts was overwhelming and we knew it was of course the Lord’s will.

I say all this to tell you…he is the real thing. I have witnessed his struggles as the Lord uses him to stand for what is right in this lost world and in the corrupt government. He is truly a missionary to the people he works with every day. We need more men like Seth Morgan!

Thank you for your prayers and for spreading the word. I look forward to working with you side by side both in this campaign and in The Kingdom!

Last Chapter

While at the Wickliffe Public Library the other day I printed off a few copies of articles I had written. The librarian said the first two are free after that its a dime a page. I said somethings free? She replied yeah but I don't know how much longer we can afford it and then she went on to say I hope my hours don't get cut.
Then today I received this from my brother in law.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Seven days left until the governor’s proposed 50 percent cuts will force many libraries to close and others to drastically reduce their hours, and slash collection budgets and reduce or eliminate programs offered to the public. The public library is a foundational institution in American democracy.
Contact the governor & your representatives today (listed under your library system's web pages, linked below). Call them, email them, or fax all of them. There are only a few days left.
The situation is so serious, that library systems all over the state of Ohio have placed very bold headlines on the main web sites. See links below.

This recession is horrible. Its far reaching and I don't know when the rebound will occur if it ever does. And yet a certain city still doesn't understand the plight of landlords or home owners. You know which city.

35,000 and 15,000

I went to the Cleveland City Club and attended the forum on the foreclosure crisis. I walked away from it sad, very sad.
35,000 empty houses in Cuyahoga County. Euclid has so many that Mayor Cervenek wasn't even sure on the exact number, he said 600 to 700, I heard closer to 1,000. Whats even more sad is there's another 15,000 houses slated for demolition.
15,000 houses coming down, 15,000 empty lots. Shocking.
Friends, you best get on your knees, America is in trouble and sinking fast.
The panel of about five mayors offered no hope and no real solutions for home owners and the homeless. In fact they were hardly mentioned. I asked Jeff, who attended with me, how would he title the meeting? He wasn't sure. I said if I had to write an article I would title it City Club Forum Offers Little Hope.
35,000 empty houses, 15,00 more slated for demolition.
I was under the impression that the purpose of the meeting was to discuss ways to keep people in their houses, government aid, help of some sort. Nope, it was all about what to do with the empty houses and how to keep the cities looking their best. Mayor Cervenek said we use to charge $50.00 for a lawn cutting, now we upped it to $150.00, banks need to maintain their foreclosed houses. Euclid has a strict 6 inch policy for lawns. All I heard was more government. Zero talk of helping with the property tax, zero talk of returning jobs, zero talk of easing inspections to allow people at least to stay in their houses. Nothing but just more government.
35,000 empty houses - 15,000 more slated for demolition.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


An older gentleman I know joined us at our table. All through the meeting he scribbled Nazi signs and whispered more government, more of the same.
This meeting was something everyone should of attended. I tried telling a few, but no responses. We can't take back our cities if we don't speak up.
I walked out of that meeting deeply saddened and what popped in my head was the trail of tears and the vision of being forced out of their homes and land. In modern times its still the government and/or the bank that can take your property and possibly have your house torn down. The crime, in most cases, lose of job.
Head for the hills, run for your lives.

Carey's rental problems with the city of Euclid, Ohio
Friends,
Please read this and send it on to all your contacts, post it on your blogs, help me get this out as it will benefit you also. I don't particularly care for how it is written as I had little time to edit and change the tone but it is still vitally important to get this out there. Let me explain what is going on.
I received a letter from the city of Euclid, Ohio concerning the two rentals I own. I was completely shocked when I read it. The letter was written on May second, received on May third and their terms were to be met by May sixteenth.
What Euclid wants is $200.00 each property for the initial registration and a renewal fee of $75.00 per year with required annual inspections. How many of you have $400.00 at your disposal to hand out to the city?
I am just infuriated with the city of Euclid at their audacity to make such demands with such a short notice. This is nothing more than them wanting more money to spend as they see fit. You can not justify this request. I pay property tax and income tax and now another fee? All cities, even the council man I met with agreed, have drive by inspections. If a property looks neglected from the outside the property owner can be cited and an inspection may be issued. Not only is annual inspections an invasion of my renters privacy but it gets worse. They also demand social security numbers of my tenants. Friends we need to start fighting back at this kind of bureaucracy. First its rental units then it will be home owners with a fee called a residency permit to be allowed to live in your house.
What is the penalty if I don't meet these demands? A fine of up to $1,000.00 and up to 6 months imprisonment. For what? Its my houses what crime have I committed?
Please read and pass on I am hoping this will get into the right hands and a large case will be brought against this city. And if you have caved in to similar demands shame on you!
Below is the letter I sent to the mayor of Euclid and please also open the enclosed document to read what they sent.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


Mayor Cervenik,
This letter is in conclusion to our conversation we had on Monday May 12Th at 4PM.
First I would like to thank you for your prompt call and also for taking the time to look at my properties. As for our conversation I was disappointed that I did not make the most of the opportunity I had. You had made your point and steam rolled right over my situation that still exists, lack of money. Your statements of "we could charge you $800.00" and "pay they don't play games" is not what I expected.
This position I find myself in is new to me. My credit rating is very high and I have always paid my bills on time. I don't believe its impossible to make an exception to help someone who has invested in the city. Someone is in a bind the city should do more than just threaten them with a huge fine and jail time. What is Euclid trying to accomplish if someone doesn't have the money? Force them to sell or go bankrupt? Its a real shame that someone who is self employed running a small business decides to invest in his future by buying houses and the city demands more money above property tax and income tax. As you said according to law you are in your right to do so, but does this still make it right?
This policy should be revisited. There is 10 empty houses on Priday Ave alone. The city of Euclid should be doing all they can to encourage investment. If I would of known of the added rental fee's I would not of purchased my houses here. There is plenty of others who feel the same way. I don't anticipate my situation staying the same. My plans for the future are to buy two more houses. Knowing what I now know unless Euclid changes its policy my next two houses won't be in Euclid.
Think of what I could do with that $400.00 the city is demanding. Make a few necessary improvements, even if its one window or pay for my house insurance just to name a few things. Instead the city takes it.
Your solution of raising the rent is not how I do business. By keeping the rent low I had secured a good tenant for over 9 years that gave me no problems. The government whether local, state or federal can't keep taxing and adding fees then tell the public raise your prices. This is driving down the value of the dollar even further. Is anyone ever ahead with this game?
As for the current situation things have changed. The tenant living in Priday will be leaving in July. He has given me his notice. So I will not register it as a rental. I have about 2 months to decide if I will keep it or sell it. I am pretty sure of one thing as of now it won't be a rental.
You weren't willing to try and help with rental fees but maybe Euclid could help pay my house insurance. I am enclosing it so you know I wasn't playing games. Again its a real shame living in America someone falls on hard times is barely making it and the city government can take it all away.
Carey K. Masci
