Election Wrap-up

Well the election is over. In all my years in South Euclid I’ve never seen anything like it. And I’ve been here a loooooooong time.

Mayor Welo was reelected and it wasn’t even close. What’s amazing is she hardly even ran a campaign! She didn’t go to the candidate forum at Brush, just sent out a few mailers and knocked on some doors.

Miller and Fiorelli are back on council and Marty Gelfand is replacing Tony Caroscio. Hothead Joe Liptow and child abuser George Martin were at the end of the pack. I call Martin child abuser not “alleged” or “wrongly convicted” because court documents confirmed he at least beat his adopted son and an adopted daughter. South Euclid voters were wise to reject these two. Anyone who had these two losers’ signs on their lawn must be embarrassed as hell.

Oakwood Commons is coming and the speeding camera is going. Heightsters heads are exploding and leadfoots are rejoicing. I will continue to report on the speed camera location until it is officially retired.

I won’t even go into the statewide elections except to say that with the defeat of Issue 2 the Tea Party in Ohio has been shown the door.
