"SOMEWHERE OVER THE RAINBOW" judy garland
"Somewhere there isn't any trouble"
There are many times I believe we are living in OZ. Last night was a good example.
I asked if Painesville had a policy if we apprehend, or convict an illegal felon. Well we will hold them for the Feds , but if their not high priority they are told to release them, according to Councilwoman Jenkins. Well let's pray what happened in San Francisco doesn't happen in Painesville. It would break many fingers blaming whoever might be responsible. No one seemed to feel that being on a sanctuary city list was a big deal, with no idea how or why to get off of the list.
Tony Torre seems to be upset about same sex marriage with no response from council. Sorry Tony it's not politicians it's Supreme Court Judges.
Windmill Estates we now have another designation for an R1- R1-60 Sixty foot frontage and a 7,500 sq. ft. lot.. Best guess we will never see another R1-75 in the city again 75 ft frontage 10,000 sq. ft. lot. Zoning Commission get ready for many begging variances.
It seems with all the problems with density and drainage experienced at Heisley Park, Windmill Estates will be built with the same plot design? Do we ever learn from our mistakes after the developer, builder is finished, the problems will be all ours. Same idea and we expect different results? What makes them think the problem will solve itself? In other words where they could build 200 R1-75 homes we can now build 222 R1-60 homes,. Looking out for the builder, the city but not residents. this is simple poor planning that will come back to bites us in the end. Oh, if anyone tells you about duplexes ask them how they will get financing to build them? The tail is wagging the dog....AGAIN!
Sidewalk plowing was left on first reading, my guess is we will continue the service to city residents.
Four homes will be demolished in Painesville 113 Chester St. 175 Ridgelawn, 364 West Jackson, 512 Fairlawn.
The city engineer reported bids were sent out for North State Street, and Gillet St. With the work on Walnut St and Gillet it will be interesting when school starts.
Seems when we already have enough problems we go out of our way to find more!
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Going over my notes the repaving of N. State St. might have hit a snag no authorization yet.

Watch them make it one way traffic for the duration. Goes one way while they do the left lane, then the other way when they do the right lane.
Yep, the Council of 1991 must have had it all wrong since the current Council will allow any builder the "right" to build using 60' frontage and 7500 square feet per property. 75" of frontage will never be seen again in this City.
Take real good care of the builders because they have such a stake in the quality of life in Painesville. Oh wait, they don't care as soon as they finish the last house.
Apparently the current Council thinks everything is just fine in Heisley Park. No drainage issues, no variance requests, no easement problems.
Don't look here, there is nothing to see behind the curtain.
Out of curiosity, who makes the call on how important a convicted "felon" is??
It would seem to me, as a thinking person, that if someone has been convicted of a crime, they are important (as in getting them locked up) somewhere.
Why is this so hard to understand?
More people who, apparently, don't want to do the job they are paid to do.
2:50 I pray we never have to find out. I've been told we are told one thing and the Hispanic community another.
1:43 What did Einstein say what insanity was, doing the same thing over and expecting a different result? See Windmill Estates.
There's an article written by Matt Taibbi on the Rolling Stone magazine website that discusses the federal program called Secure Communities. In effect since 2009, the program authorizes that the police of any city or town participating in it must send fingerprints of anyone they arrest to the feds, who, in turn, compare them to the FBI and Homeland Security fingerprint databases. This is to find out if the person arrested is undocumented. If so, the local police must hold the suspect until ICE shows up to take the suspect. Problem is, it's often several days, and sometimes weeks, before ICE arrives at the police station to do this; in the meantime, the local police must pick up the tab for housing the suspect, and they are not reimbursed by the feds, no matter how long it takes. Because of this, and that some courts have ruled that suspects can't be held for that long without as much as a hearing, more and more communities want to drop out of the program. There's a catch: the feds won't let them. Still, many have, including Chicago; in the article, Taibbi notes that those communities who refuse to participate in the program are pretty much regarded as "sanctuary cities". I don't know if Painesville signed up for this program; even if they didn't, it'd be interesting to know if the police were advised by either the city manager or law department regarding how diligent they should be with forwarding fingerprints to the feds.
Illegal's in this town seems to be a catch 22 -lose/lose situation or better a pass the buck situation. PPD doesn't or cant enforce the laws was told there is no place to "hold" them once they are apprehended THEN the Feds are too busy and too short handed to come pick them up. Feds, set up an office here and do your job Victoria Place or Chase bank has plenty of room for you to come here and do what you need to do until the house has been cleaned out. If CM and council didn't get it a while back when the council chambers was filled with anti-illegal people and Ms. Diallo's idea tanked (cant remember what she was pushing)I don't know what will stop this. Oh, perhaps what is recently trying to pass- cut money to sanctuary cities. We need know either we are sanctuary or not and hope the funds get cut so we can have our city and country back.
Odd, seems the council meeting isn't on channel 12 or the website. I guess maybe I don't trust you to be accurate on facts presented at meetings but what choice do I have?
Doesn't the city pay someone to be responsible for this being made public?
Well 11:11 it could be worse right? I don't understand this continuing problem either.
I assure you I won't tell tales of Painesville Power buying two surplus nuclear reactors and AMP and them going into the nuke business together?
Or that everything is Honkey-Dory in town see {Painesville Pride}
Or that you live in a vibrant, professionally run community.
Hmm, maybe I should?
Your both wrong . It's in the Bible.
2:31
Uh, who is "wrong" and what is in the Bible?
As it stands, your comment makes no sense.
BTW, it is "you're".
2:31 Lots of things in the Bible, King Solomon had 700 wives along with 300 concubines, busy guy! Can't mix wool and cotton? Stoning of your child in the public square? Along with my favorite; Epistle to Philemon seems to condone slavery? Somehow God as well as well as Jesus seem hardly the two willing to present this idea? Great stories, but it seems to me the 10 commandments trump everything?
