Former Cleveland councilman Basheer Jones Clevelandurbannews.com and Kathywraycolemanonlinenewsblog.com   By Kathy Wray Coleman, associate publisher, editor Investigative article CLEVELAND, Ohio — After taking a plea deal and pleading guilty late last year to federal public corruption charges and agreeing to pay restitution, former Cleveland Ward 7 Councilman Basheer Jones is facing sentencing on Tues, April 1 before U.S. District Court Judge J. Phillip Calabreze, a Republican appointed to the federal bench in the Northern District of Ohio in 2020 by President Donald Trump during his first term in office. And while prosecutors are calling for prison time, some greater Cleveland Black leaders, like former HUD secretary Marcia L. Fudge, and some Black community activists say probation is more appropriate, given Jones' overall record in support of the community and because similarly situated White elected officials traditionally get off easy and often are not even prosecuted at a...

Cleveland Mayor Justin Bibb, the city's  fourth Black mayor  By Kathy Wray Coleman, editor, associate publisher WASHINGTON, D.C.-  President Donald Trump issued an executive order on Thursday to shut down the U.S. Department of Education, fulfilling a campaign promise he made to Republicans on the campaign trail on his way to winning a second, non-consecutive term in November and angering Congressional Democrats, educators, teachers unions, public-school parents and some city mayors, including in Cleveland, Ohio. But the president's unprecedented efforts to radically change America's educational system require Congressional approval. Furthermore, the U.S. Supreme Court has held that all executive orders from the president of the United States must be supported by the Constitution, whether from a clause granting specific power or by Congress delegating such to the executive branch. Signed Thursday, the president's agency wrecking order instructs Education Secretary Linda...

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. The big question is how the popular Brown, a Cleveland Democrat and three-term incumbent, and the only current Democrat elected statewide in Ohio other than three Democratic Ohio Supreme Court justices, two of whom tragically lost reelection Tuesda...
