Cleveland Mayor Justin Bibb By Kathy Wray Coleman, editor, associate publisher CLEVELAND, Ohio – Cleveland Mayor Justin M. Bibb, who controls Cleveland's largely Black public school district via a state law that stripped the community of electing board members and took effect in 1998, has announced the appointments of three new members to the Cleveland Metropolitan School District (CMSD) Board of Education. The new board members will fill the vacancies created by the resignations of Leah Hudnall, Robert Heard, and Denise Link earlier this year.   Bibb is up for reelection in 2025 and is Cleveland's fourth Black mayor behind the late Carl B. Stokes, the first Black mayor of Cleveland and of a major American city, Michael R. White, and four-term former mayor Frank Jackson, whom he succeeded in office. "I am delighted to welcome Caroline Peak, Jerry Billups and Pastor Ivory Jones to the board of education," said Mayor Bibb in a press statement on Tuesday."Their fre...

Hunter Biden and President Joe Biden Clevelandurbannews.com and   Kathywraycolemanonlinenewsblog.com By Kathy Wray Coleman, editor, associate publisher WASHINGTON, D.C. -President Joe Biden on Sunday pardoned his son Hunter Biden for prior, current, or future criminal charges and convictions, a 10-year full and unconditional pardon that President-Elect Donald Trump quickly branded "a miscarriage of justice." First Lady Dr Jill Biden, who helped to raise Hunter and his late brother Beau Biden after their mother and a sister were killed in a car accident when Biden was a junior U.S. senator representing the state of Delaware, applauded the move and told reporters "Of course I support my son." Biden had repeatedly promised that he would not pardon his son but said Sunday that he did so in part because Congress targeted Hunter to get at him.  "No reasonable person who looks at the facts of Hunter’s cases can reach any other conclusion than Hunter was singled out o...

U.S. Senator Sherrod Brown, a Cleveland Democrat   Clevelandurbannews.com and   Kathywraycolemanonlinenewsblog.com By Kathy Wray Coleman, editor, associate publisher, and political and investigative reporter CLEVELAND, Ohio -Democratic U.S. Sen. Sherrod Brown of Ohio lost reelection last Tuesday by 3.8 percentage points to millionaire businessman Bernie Moreno, a Trump-endorsed Republican who has never held public office. Brown says big business and national Republicans seeking to gain control of the U.S. Senate targeted him. Some others, both supporters and opponents alike, say his multi-million dollar campaign failed to engage key voting blocs during the election of his lifetime, like the Black community of Cleveland for example.
