They're gone now. Retired and well....forced out. Those high flying hypocrites pimping the poor with HUD cash since the halcyon days of Andrew Cuomo. Kathy and Irene and Bobbi and Mark. And let's not forget Rob. All of them except Dame Crowsfeet and with the...timely passing of the Prince of Newton Ave she has found a new grift. Lucrative rentals for the rich WITH NO AIR CONDITIONING OR PARKING. Dame Crowsfeet pays VERY LOW property taxes on these houses ONLY available to her organization.And HERE is how much she pays. ALL of these homes were transferred on Mar 8,2021. Here are the ANNUAL PROPERTY TAXES. 9800 Newton $284. 9804 Newton BEING OFFERED FOR RENT AT $1900 per month.$431. 9806 Newton $321. 10003 BEING OFFERED FOR RENT AT $1900 per month $888. 9909 (former home of the late Jerry Maddox) $888. 9811 Newton $652. 9805 $499. 9801 $364. Other "discounts" received by Madame include a very low membership fee to the VERY EXCLUSIVE Union Club. No poor people allowed THERE. And she ALSO received a bonus in 2021. Of $28, 971. Hmmmm. A BONUS. The same year when in March all Jerry's houses were transferred over to her "non" profit. Total compensation for the year $185,000. There was no bonus in 2020. Or 2019. The year Jerry was conveniently run over and killed. 

Jerry was a beloved resident of Newton Avenue for decades. He was a pianist, an accompanist who was well known in classical music circles. He lived alone but he was a friend to all, especially his neighbors on Newton Ave. He owned 8 houses on the street and rented them to people who were NOT wealthy but who loved the character of the houses as he did. He charged very little rent, he could have gotten much MUCH more but he wasn't greedy. He loved his houses and his neighbors, often extending small loans or food to those in need. He was a one man charity with no salary. A kind and generous man from the old school with a love of music and arts and architecture. He was NOT an overpaid grifter from Cleveland's shameless "non" profit community. He did not belong, with an almost free membership, to the Union Club, the bastion of white privilege in Cleveland. He was NOT an overcompensated advisor emeritus to the Ohio historic preservation scam. He was a true Renaissance man who LIVED historic preservation in every thing he did, withOUT any financial compensation. As he got older he expressed concern about what would happen to his cherished historic houses. He wanted to leave them as his legacy to continue allowing them to be rented out to people of modest means.  He was reluctant to leave them to family members because he feared they didn't share his love for them and would immediately put them on the market. So he looked around and was STRONGLY pressured to leave them to the Cleveland Restoration Society, who lead him to believe they would carry out his wishes. Sometime in late 2019 he reluctantly made the decision. And shortly after that on December 26, 2019 at 7:06 pm he was run down WALKING across E 105. By a mysterious SUV whose driver disapppeared into the night. It was 37 degrees, no precipitation no inclement conditions. Who killed Jerry. And got away with it .He was not an unknown drifter. Why were no charges filed? He died at University Hospital, who called the ambulance. Why did it take TWO MONTHS for an obituary to be carefully crafted LEAVING OUT the cause of death. Why the cover up?? CUI buno
