They include a stint at an alcohol rehabilitation center, a subsequent run-in with his girlfriend that the NFL later cleared him on, and off duty night club hopping and drinking over

Ohio women call on U.S. Senator Rob Portman to take action in Congress on equal pay: The women say that Portman puts Washington first, and not working women and families....State representative Janine Boyd, a Cleveland Heights Democrat, speaks on the issue in Cleveland....The women hold events on the issue in Cleveland, Cincinnati, Toledo and Columbus....Black women earn 63 percent of what non-Hispanic White women are paid in America, data show....Posted by Cleveland Urban News.Com Associate Publisher and Editor-in-Chief Kathy Wray Coleman

The progressive women, with some men standing with them,  demanded that U.S. Senator Rob Portman of Ohio, a Cincinnati Republican, take action in Congress on equal pay legislation. In addition to presenting petitions, the women also presented Portman with an artificial invoice for holiday meal for a family of four for ham, green bean casserole, mashed potatoes and Christmas cookies, a message, they say, that represents the need for working class women to get pay equity like men as breadwinners also of American families.

Congresswoman Fudge endorses Mike O'Malley over Cuyahoga County Prosecutor Tim McGinty, and the county Democratic party executive committee, on behalf of the party, will decide who is officially endorsed for county prosecutor by the party on Dec 17, if anybody.... State representative Bill Patmon calls the city ward leaders endorsement of O'Malley a rejection of McGinty by his own party....Community activists want McGinty out of office, says Art McKoy, and Charles E. Bibb Sr. says that he backs Fudge' s endorsement of O'Malley 100 percent...McGinty's fall from grace follows his prejudicial handling of the Tamir Rice Cleveland police murder case, his illegal adoption of unconstitutional office policies to protect police that kill unarmed Blacks, his interoffice conflict, his conflict with common pleas judges, the Brelo verdict, and his public harassment of Rice's grieving mother....Some residents of Cleveland Ward 1 who are also on the executive committee yesterday overwhelmingly decided against McGinty at a meeting led by Ward 1 Councilman Terrell Pruitt and also attended by Nina Turner.....But Ward 1 did not embrace O'Malley's candidacy at yesterday's meeting....Some Black elected officials say that O'Malley is not much different than McGinty when it comes to the Black community and overzealous and unfair prosecutions and otherwise, but is the lesser of the two evils....By Cleveland Urban News.Com Editor-in-Chief Kathy Wray Coleman
