'WELL IT'S BEEN A WHILE" stained

Well its been a while. Oddly when you have a problem with your leg and foot and the doctors have corrected it, you in a very short time find out you have another bigger problem that might have nothing to do with the first. That's where the problem of  symptoms comes in when it finally lands you flat on your back to the point the Painesville EMS has to carry you out of the house. Back to the hospital along with the very heavy meds some that led me to believe Gwyneth Palttrow was one of the doctors looking after me.
The miracles of drugs.

Not much happening around here but it seem Painesville did catch one unpleasant first page story on the News-Herald. Seems Lake County Probate Judge Ted Klammer is not to happy with the city utility departments. Odd the Judge complains once and its on the front page. People on Elm St. have to live with rusty water until city residents are "blackmailed" onto a $8.00 surcharge amount on their water bills. What the Court House seems to be experiencing with is what many Painesville resident have also been putting up with in the past years. One caveat the County pays no property tax. He even mentioned a county relocation to Mentor maybe the county can explain where that money will come from? Remember the hospital left. My point as I understand it no one answered the Judges complaint from the city administration? I can only hope maybe  a council person checked in with the Judge? No mention of the flooding was made by anyone at the past city council meeting. Remember lets stay positive. If you remember at the council meeting when Main St. streetscapes were discussed the city will spend $250,000 for new electric lines on Main St.
At that time Councilman Flock asked about the water and sewer lines on Main St.
He was told that at that time the city administration felt those utilities were in good shape. The water line break? Ground Zero St. Clair and Main St. you can't make this stuff  up. Wonder where the next break will be?
Main Street Streetscape will show city residents how to best waste a million dollars in a small area.

While I'm  I mentioning  city council meetings. At the last council meeting I attended I was left very uncomfortable with the feud between the Hatfields and McCoys {Werners vs. Jack's} I understand the the two can't seem to get along but a council meeting is not the place for this. I an worried that this has the possibility to blowup into something far worse then it is now. At the last council meeting Council President seemed to do his best to end this side show with little results, but at least he tried.

I guess he could ask the Werners what exactly they believe council could do to legally solve this problem in writing. At this point I see the city without a solution to this situation. Along with the present actions making them worse.

By now you have received your new county tax appraisal what do you think???
