HANNAN * Assistant Prosecuting Attorney * Counsel of Record 2 STATE OF OHIO SS. AFFIDAVIT COUNTY OF CUYAHOGA I, EBEN O. McNAIR; IV, being first duly sworn, depose and state the following: 1. I am a member of the Cuyahoga County Board of Elections and I have personal knowledge of the facts and circumstances stated herein. 2. Members and officers of the Brecksville-Broadview Heights Democratic Club and other activists drafted and gathered signatures for the "Brecksville Initiative In Support Of Movement To Amend The U.S. Constitution To Establish That Corporations Are Not People And Money Is Not Speech" (hereafter "the Initiative"). 3. I am the Democratic City Leader of Brecksville and am a member of the Breoksville- Broadview Heights Democratic Club and therefore know many of the individuals who were involved in drafting and gathering signatures for the Initiative. 4. I received many e-mails from individuals who were involved in drafting and gathering signatures for the Initiative while that process was underway. 5. I took no active role and did not substantively participate in the process of drafting and gathering signatures for the Initiative. 6. At one point, I offered to review the draft of the Initiative but ultimately did not do so. 7. I was not even aware of the Initiative language until I reviewed it in the context of considering the City of Breclcsville's protest correspondence that was received by the Cuyahoga County Board of Elections on August 9, 2012. 8. On or about August 14, 2012, the Cuyahoga County Board of Elections scheduled a hearing on the City of Brecksville's protest to be held on August 28, 2012. 9. Because I was familiar with some of the individuals who were involved in drafting and/or gathering signatures for the Initiative and out of an abundance of caution, I telephoned Gretchen A. Quinn, Elections Counsel, Office of Ohio Secretary of State Jon Husted, one to two weeks prior to the August 28, 2012 hearing to discuss whether in the Secretary of State's view there existed any conflict of interest that would warrant my recusal from considering the City of Brecksville's protest. 10. I separately contacted the Ohio Ethics Commission to inquire as to whether in its view there existed any conflict of interest that would warrant my recusal from considering the City of Brecksville's protest. I spoke with Staff Advisory Attorney Karen R. King and on or about August 20, 2012, she also sent me an e-mail indicating that she was unable to find any Commission precedent that directly addressed the issue I raised in my telephone call with her. She additionally sent me three (3) prior Ohio Ethics Commission opinions. Attached as Exhibit 1 is Ms. King's e-mail to me, with the three (3) opinions she provided to me, each one of which I read. 11. At Ms. King's suggestion, I additionally spoke with the Director of the Ohio Elections Commission, Philip C. Richter, who told me that he believed that his Commission did not have jurisdiction over my issue, but that he saw no problem from his perspective that would warrant my recusal from considering the City of Brecksville's protest. 12. I also reviewed the matter with the Cuyahoga County Board of Elections counsel, Reno Oradini, Esq., and he did not believe needed to recuse myself. 13. On August 27, 2012, at 11:18 a.m., I sent Secretary of State Elections Counsel Gretchen A. Quinn an e-mail to follow up on my earlier telephone call to her. A copy of my e-mail to Ms. Quinn is attached hereto as Exhibit 2. 2 14. In response to an August 27, 2012 voice-mail message left for me by Ms. Quinn, I sent her an e-mail at 3:09 p.m. that set forth the facts recited in paragraphs 1 through 12 of this Affidavit. A copy of my e-mail to Ms. Quinn is attached hereto as Exhibit 3, p. 2. 15. On August 27, 2012, at 3:11 p.m., I forwarded by e-mail to Ms. Quinn the August 20, 2012 e-mail that I had received previously from Ohio Ethics Commission Staff Advisory Attorney Karen R. King. A copy of my forwarding e-mail to Ms. Quinn is attached hereto as Exhibit 4. 16. On August 28, 2012 at 1:47 p.m., Ms. Quinn responded to my e-mail by indicating that the office of the Secretary of State did not see anything that would warrant my recusal from considering the City of Brecksville's protest, adding that if I were aware of facts that I believed had the likelihood of creating an appearance of impropriety or otherwise calling into question the integrity of the electoral process, then I should recuse myself from hearing the protest. See Exhibit 3, p. 1. 17. I do not believe that my familiarity with some of the individuals who were involved in drafting and/or gathering signatures for the Initiative would bias my consideration of the protest submitted by the City of Brecksville. 18. Prior to the public discussion of the City of Brecksville's protest at the August 28, 2012 meeting, I fully disclosed my relationship with the petitioners for the Brecksville issue; my receipt of e-mail correspondence regarding the Petition prior to the hearing; my lack of substantive participation in the process; and, following my consultations with the offices of the Ohio Secretary of State, the Ohio Ethics Commission, and the Ohio Elections Commission, my belief that I had no conflict of interest that would warrant my recusal from considering the City of Brecksville's protest. 3 FURTHER AFFIANT SAYETH NAUGHT. 4 & EBEN O.

  • Welcome to the 10Th Annual Sustainable Cleveland Summit! September 20-21, 2018
    Welcome to the 10th Annual Sustainable Cleveland Summit! September 20-21, 2018 Thank you for joining me at the 2018 Sustainable Cleveland Summit. Sustainable Cleveland 2019 is a ten- year initiative that engages the entire community to design and develop a sustainable economy for Cleveland. We have the resources, the people, and the ideas to make our regional economy strong, resilient, and equitable. Sustainable Cleveland 2019 has gained support and grown in scope and numbers since it launched in 2009. We have engaged more than 10,000 people and hundreds of organizations and have seen a wide variety of initiatives addressing the full spectrum of sustainability. As we prepare for next year’s culmination of this initiative, we look to build off this momentum while encouraging boldness, creativity, and action. During this Summit, we will celebrate the current “Year of Vital Neighborhoods” and accelerate planning for 2019, the “Year of People.” We will begin implementation of the City’s updated Climate Action Plan, which was co-created by our local organizations and residents. The 2018 Summit is also special because it is the last one before June 22, 2019 – the 50th anniversary of the infamous Cuyahoga River fire. This presents a unique opportunity to advance clean water issues locally and nationally in 2019. I would like to thank our sponsors, the Flourishing Leadership Institute, the 2019 Steering Committee, and all Summit participants for moving this initiative forward. We can’t do this without you. Sincerely, Frank G. Jackson, Mayor 2 Sustainable Cleveland 2019 Mission, Vision and Values Together, we’re building a thriving green city on a blue lake Mission: Sustainable Cleveland 2019 is a 10-year initiative that engages people from all walks of life, working together to design and develop a thriving and resilient Cleveland region that leverages its wealth of assets to build economic, social, and environmental well-being for all.

  • THE CLEVELAND PLAN: 2012 – 2016 Strategic Implementation Plan
    THE CLEVELAND PLAN: 2012 – 2016 Strategic Implementation Plan PART I: INTRODUCTION Process to Date, Stakeholders’ Key Messages It is a time of dynamic change and evolution for the Cleveland Metropolitan School District (CMSD) and for the students and communities we serve. CMSD’s next chapter in its history is now underway, with the benefit of the stakeholder feedback, ideas and support we have received. After gathering input on the initial draft of CMSD’s implementation strategy, this next chapter in CMSD’s transformation journey will ultimately determine the legacy of the district, and, more importantly, the legacy of the children of Cleveland. The stakes are high, but the success of our students will have a tremendous payoff not only for the District, but also for the City of Cleveland, the region and the state. Since December 2012, when the District circulated the initial implementation strategy draft for public review, feedback and input, hundreds of stakeholders have shared their thoughtful insights and comments. All feedback gathered through February, 2013 available for review on CMSD’s Web site, www.clevelandmetroschools.org. The district is deeply appreciative of both the complimentary comments and the constructively critical views that individuals and groups shared with us. It is that candor, open dialogue, and a transparent exchange of ideas that comprise the core principles guiding our work. The District was pleased to hear many stakeholders express their own appreciation for the opportunity given to engage the public and to hear their perspectives. One stakeholder summed up the comments of many: “I have enjoyed reading the aggressive plan.
