  Justin Bibb By Kathy Wray Coleman, associate publisher, editor in chief   Clevelandurbannews.com and- Kathywraycolemanonlinenewsblog.com -CLEVELAND, Ohio- Justin Bibb, one of several people vying to win Cleveland's mayoral election this year, announced on Wednesday his support for implementing a public comment period at city council meetings.   Currently citizens can only speak at council meetings per the request of city council members and must instead voice their concerns on issues of public concern during council committee meetings, which are held infrequently on weekday mornings when most people are at work. Community activists and community members have called for a speaking forum for citizens at regular council meetings like they do in most neighboring suburbs.     "It's time for politicians to listen to the voices of residents and allow for public comment at city council meetings," said Bibb, 34 and  a former banker who heads a local non-profit and is an exe

  NAACP President Derrick Johnson and U.S. Representative Bennie Thompson, a Mississippi Democrat By Kathy Wray Coleman, associate publisher, editor in chief   Clevelandurbannews.com and- Kathywraycolemanonlinenewsblog.com -Washington, D.C.- On the heels of a U.S. Senate  acquittal on Saturday of former president Donald Trump of a single impeachment article of inciting a riot at the U.S. Capitol on Jan 6 that left five dead, including a Capitol police officer, the NAACP and U.S. Rep. Bennie Thompson, a Mississippi Democrat, filed suit on Tuesday in the Federal District Court of the District of Columbia claiming the former president did, in fact, incite the Capitol riot.  Several members of Congress are expected to sign onto the lawsuit in coming days, mainly Democrats.  Also named as defendants in the 31-page lawsuit are Trump's lawyer, Rudy Giuliani, the far-right White supremacist group  the Proud Boys, and the militia group the Oath Keepers. An uphill battle by most standards,

Former U.S. president Donald Trump and U.S. Senator Sherrod Brown, a Cleveland Democrat By Kathy Wray Coleman, associate publisher, editor in chief CLEVELANDURBANNEWS.COM-Washington, D.C.-  The U.S. Senate on Saturday voted 57-43 to acquit former president Donald Trump of a single impeachment article of incitement of insurrection following an impeachment trial that centered on whether he provoked the Jan. 6 Capitol riot that left five dead, including a Capitol police officer. While impeachment occurs in the House of Representatives, the Senate has sole authority to convict or acquit following a  trial on the impeachment. Trump said in a statement after his acquittal that the proceedings were bogus at best.   “It is a sad commentary on our times that one political party in America is given a free pass to denigrate the rule of law, defame law enforcement, cheer mobs, excuse rioters, and transform justice into a tool of political vengeance, and persecute, blacklist, cancel and suppress al
