    RESOLUTION NO.: 50-2007 OFFERED BY: Mayor Ursu and All of Council A RESOLUTION OPPOSING OHIO SUBSTITUTE SENATE BILL 117 AND SUPPORTING THE LOCAL CABLE FRANCHISING PROCESS; AND DECLARING AN EMERGENCY WHEREAS, Substitute Senate Bill (“Sub. SB”) 117 was passed in the Ohio Senate on May 9, 2007 and the bill was immediately forwarded to the Ohio House of Representatives where it is being reviewed by the House Public Utilities Committee in which Sponsor’s introduction and proponents' hearing is expected to commence on May 23, 2007 with opponents' hearing to follow; and WHEREAS, in its present form, Sub. SB 117 continues to provide for the elimination of local franchise authority over cable and other video service providers that must use the City’s rights-of-way to provide service and would replace that authority with only the most minimal oversight and enforcement powers by the Ohio Director of Commerce; and WHEREAS, Sub. SB 117 would permit cable operators to unilaterally abrogate and abandon existing cable/video contracts with municipalities even if no new competitive video service is offered in those communities and would outlaw the extension of any current franchise agreement thereby abrogating the City's current franchise agreement with Time Warner Cable which was negotiated in good faith; and WHEREAS, Sub. SB 117 will continue to reduce the franchise fees paid to the City by cable operators and/or other video service providers in exchange for using the City’s rights-of- way, and would severely impair the City’s ability to audit cable and competitive video service providers’ franchise fee payments; and WHEREAS, Sub.

  • The Impact of Race Upon Legislators' Policy Preferences and Bill
    THE IMPACT OF RACE UPON LEGISLATORS’ POLICY PREFERENCES AND BILL SPONSORSHIP PATTERNS: THE CASE OF OHIO DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Linda M. Trautman, M.A. ***** The Ohio State University 2007 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Professor William E. Nelson, Jr., Adviser Professor Tom Nelson ________________________ Adviser Professor Herbert Weisberg Political Science Graduate Program Copyright Linda M. Trautman 2007 ABSTRACT The principal purpose of this research is to explain and to analyze the policy preferences of Black and White state legislators in the Ohio General Assembly. In particular, the study seeks to understand whether or not Black state legislators advocate a distinctive policy agenda through an analysis of their policy preferences and bill sponsorship patterns. Essentially, one of the central objectives of the study is to determine the extent to which legislators’ perceptions of their policy preferences actually correspond with their legislative behavior (i.e., bill sponsorship patterns). In addition to understanding the impact of race upon legislative preferences, I also analyze additional factors (e.g., institutional features, district characteristics, etc.) which potentially influence legislators’ policy preferences and legislative behavior. The data for this inquiry derive from personal interviews with members of the Ohio legislature conducted in the early to late 1990’s and legislative bills introduced in the 1998-1999 session. The analyses of these data suggest that Black state legislators exhibit distinctive agenda setting behavior measured in terms of their policy priorities and bill sponsorship patterns in comparison to White state legislators.

  • Annual Report 2007.Indd
    SHAKER SCHOOLS FOUNDATION ANNUAL REPORT 2007 From the President As President of the Shaker Schools Foundation, I am pleased to report on the results of the 2007 fi scal year, which is very short, by intention. The Board decided to change our fi scal year from a calendar cycle to a project period that corresponds with the Shaker Heights City School District. Therefore, FY2006 and FY2008 are 12-month periods, and FY2007 is a 6-month period, from Janu- ary 1 through June 30, 2007. We may have been “short” on time, but our community continued to be “long” on generosity. The Shaker Schools Foundation is most apprecia- tive of our dedicated donors, and I am grateful to each member of our board and staff, as well as to the administration and School Board. It is a pleasure to collaborate with all of them on behalf of Shaker’s extraordinary schools. The Shaker Schools Foundation exists to provide resources to enrich the educational experiences of students in the Shaker Heights City Schools. During 2007, our donors helped us to fulfi ll our mission through grants to 36 teachers for projects such as the purchase of magnetic levitation vehicles to teach a supplemental physics unit to ninth graders; increased support for the Minority Achievement Committee’s programs at the High School; and awards to recognize the academic and extra-curricular accomplishments of 38 students. Much of our fundraising focused on the Auditorium Campaign to renovate and restore the large auditorium at Shaker Heights High School. Early in the year we met the Ratner Challenge, which helped the Foundation reach the $500,000 mark in its fundraising.

  • 2006 Primary Election Results
    The Hannah Report Special Election Edition May 3, 2006 2006 Primary Election Results Party caucuses held a few surprises Tuesday. There were a number of anticipated blow-outs and several nail-biters, including a seven-way Democratic primary in the 10th House District that was still too close to call at end of business Wednesday. Results remain officially "unofficial" in all races and do not reflect provisional voting. Absentee ballots were also out in Cuyahoga County, where the election board was forced to count votes by hand in the 10th District and other races. A disclaimer at the secretary of state's website notes that results will be final 81 days after the date on which county boards of elections have all completed official canvases, which must be no later than May 23, 2006. Statewide Races U.S. Rep. Ted Strickland (D-Ohio) easily overcame his opponent to win the Democratic caucus for governor by a factor of four. Bryan Flannery was unable to capitalize on allegations concerning a former Strickland staffer arrested for public indecency. On the Republican side, Secretary of State Ken Blackwell banked on a well-organized and financially generous grassroots effort to pass Attorney General Jim Petro for the gubernatorial nomination. In the attorney general campaign, Sen. Tim Grendell (R-Chesterland) acknowledged the inevitability of former attorney general Betty Montgomery's bid for another Republican nomination to her old job, conceding early Tuesday to the sitting auditor. Among Democrats, former Cleveland law director Subodh Chandra won numerous newspaper endorsements -- though not his party's -- for attorney general, which was instead claimed by leading workers' comp critic Sen.

    BAD MINDS,PLACES HIGH BAD MINDS, HIGH PLACES BAD MINDS, HIGH PLACES Ohio to Washington State Ohio to Washington State Cuyahoga River on fire River Cuyahoga The FBI R aids on Cleveland 1990 Lake Washington bridge collapse “Bad Minds, High Places” tells the story of an attorney who wrote an editorial critical of a Bedford Ohio judge, after which he was pursued across the country by several sets of police and banned from all Ohio court review. It exposes the hidden and organized corruption of a politicized state judiciary that intentionally failed on an alarming scale from the local to the Grundstein Robert federal level. The failure not only represents a damaged structure, but also a grass roots deterioration of American character. “Bad Minds, High Places” shows how elected judiciaries fail and how judges, police, prosecutors and even court clerical staff turned institutions charged with maintaining ethical standards into criminal, personal interest groups.
