South Euclidians face down mob of Heightsters

A small group of angry Heightsers stood outside South Euclid city hall on Wednesday. The Heights Observer numbered the crowd at over 50, but I saw two dozen at most. The Observer article was written by Deanna Bremer Fisher, who runs Future Heights which opposes development at Oakwood, so she’s hardly an unbiased source. 

Anyway, the usual suspects were there: Susan Miller, Fran Mentch, and their cronies. The overwhelming majority of these people come from Cleveland Heights. But they’ve been able to sucker a few South Euclid residents into taking their side, like Dan Shramo, a local “musician” and marijuana legalization activist.

Over 200 people packed city hall for the meeting. 50 South Euclid residents spoke. Most were in favor of rezoning. People are finally getting it: South Euclid has a right to exert home rule and make its own decisions, not be dictated to by larger suburbs. I haven’t been so proud of my town since we dumped that stupid regulation about not eating in cars.

That must really get some Heightsters panties in a bunch, like Susan Miller. She’s been one of the ringleaders of the anti-Oakwood crowd. Miller, a fulltime activist, does the heavy lifting for Fran. Miller’s contempt for the people of South Euclid was demonstrated when she, a chain smoker, tossed her cigarette butt onto the sidewalk.

I stood near Miller at the meeting. There’s something that I noticed at the meeting that you wouldn’t get from her posts on the "Citizens for Oakwood’s" facebook page: she smells. She obviously doesn’t bathe regularly, which is taking this green thing a bit too far in my opinion. I’ll be posting an in depth exposé of Miller’s antics and crazy ideas in the very near future.
