It's great. Cleveland is Dem lock stock and barrel. You might find a Rep somewhere if you look hard enough (probably a family member) but for sure not in the cash cow water department, and for darn sure not in charge of anything there, it's part of the patronage machine.

There's no there, there, Mike. The only IRS scandal is Crossroads GPS and their ilk abusing the tax exempt 501(c)(4) status. If anyone thinks that their primary focus is social welfare? I've got a bridge in Brooklyn to sell you.

Issue 5 was defeated in part with support by unions like the UAW, even though it didn't effect them.

Nissan operating profit 2012 6.9 bil. Very good for the Land of the Rising Sun.

And very good for wage slavery in the US, if the left is to be believed, except when one union buys non union trucks

The bill overturning the government union-limiting law the Ohio Statehouse passed earlier.

Apparently there is no reciprocity. Heck the city probably shops at walmart!
