Oakwood opponents stink of desperation

Members of the anti-Oakwood group are canvassing South Euclid streets begging for signatures for their "ballot referendum." Check out Susan Miller's tweet below:


Funny. Susan has been spending the last six months bashing South Euclid, now she praises our "lovely neighborhoods."

In the end, it doesn't matter. The land was approved for development by the city council, who are our elected representatives. It only remains for the Planning Commission to approve First Interstate's plans and issue the building permits. A referendum would be pointless because the use of the land is grandfathered in. Read your Constitution: You can't make a law retroactive per the ex post facto clause.

Some Heightsters are desperate to keep their bootheels on the throats of the people of South Euclid. As usual with these folks, it's too little too late.

Stifling competition


I saw this sign outside DiStefanos the other day. This is what America has come down to. A grocer who wants to stifle competition. Is he taking on Walmart? No. He's protesting a farmer's market. Small farmers who grow food naturally and sell it to citizens. DiStefano wants you to buy his imported food instead. How do the buy local greenies from Cleveland Heights feel about DiStefano wanting to stifle competition?
