EAST CLEVELAND, Ohio-Ohio state Sen. Nina Turner (D-25) and state Reps. Sandra Williams (D-11) and Armond Budish (D-9) will host a town hall meeting on House Bill 59, the state budget bill, on Monday, August 5, 2013  from 6:00 pm to 7:30 pm at the East Cleveland Public Library. The event is free and open to the public, though tickets are needed. 

Turner, Williams and Budish, all Democrats, say the budget bill impacts greater Clevelanders and other Ohioans relative to a variety of public policy issues effecting middle class and poor people including cuts to Ohio's school funding formula, restrictions by women on access to healthcare increases in sales and property taxes, and decreases in funding for job opportunities and workforce training.

Budish of Beachwood hopes to win next year's Democratic primary for the Cuyahoga County Executive seat now held by Ed FitzGerald, who is running for governor next year. He
faces to date fired former county sheriff Bob Reid and state Sen. Shirley Smith (D-21), the only Black and only female in the county executive race thus  far. 

Members of the Ohio General Assembly, which is made up of the Ohio Senate and Ohio House of Representatives, adopt state laws. 

Turner and Smith are the only Black state senators in the Ohio General Assembly from northeast Ohio.

Chief and unfair Cuyahoga County Judge John Russo loses authority-Part 2 of a multi-part series on Cuyahoga County public corruption: New Ohio law on seeking possible removal of a municipal court judge in a case for bias or conflict via the filing of an affidavit of prejudice takes authority to decide from chief Cuyahoga County Presiding Judge John Russo, other chief common pleas judges in Ohio, and hands it to the chief justice of the Ohio Supreme Court, who also determines affidavits of prejudice filed against common pleas, probate, juvenile, domestic relations, and state appellate court judges....Most affidavits of prejudice are denied regardless of the merits and some judges complained of will retaliate, data show... Community activists, led by Cleveland activist Kathy Wray Coleman of the Imperial Women Coalition, lobbied the Cleveland NAACP for support and asked state legislators via state Rep Bill Patmon (D-10) of Cleveland to change the law but wanted a panel of judges and others to decide when a judge in Ohio is disqualified from hearing a case for bias or conflict....Coleman says she has since been further harassed by Chief Cuyahoga County Judge John Russo, who is White and leads a racist and sexist common pleas court fueled with corruption, malicious prosecutions, excessive criminal bonds, ineffective assistance of counsel to poor and Black defendants, and the mass incarceration of the Black community....By www.clevelandurbannews.com and www.kathywraycolemanonlinenewsblog.com, Ohio's most read digital Black newspapers....This is part 2 of a multi-part series on Cuyahoga County public corruption
