From Eric J Brewer - former Mayor of East Cleveland:
Are you fucking stupid? You're going to give $30 million to two crooks whose organization is under a federal investigation; so they can now rehabilitate the homes they've been rigging laws to give away to their employees and other government workers instead of demolishing them. So you've finally figured out the "D" in HUD stands for "Development" and not "Demolition." All you're creating is another pool of money for James Rokakis and Gus Frangos to steal.
Sell the landbank homes to low-income people who want to live in them. Allocate the money directly to the property and manage the gotdamned renovation through the county's building department. Rokakis, Frangos and the thieves they manage in the landbank don't need any more "cuts" off our fucking money. They need to go to jail. The landbank needs to be shut down. It's part of an organized crime ring.
You also need to stop creating blight in our neighborhoods with your stupid azzed 3rd party tax lien sales that (guess who?) Rokakis and Frangos got the general assembly to pass.
A better idea is to give the properties back to the homeowners you fuckers took them from for back taxes to pay your incompetent-azzed county workers who've created more than $1 billion in debt and trashed our bond rating.
The best thing this county can do is stop buying into any more of the bullshit coming from marauders like Rokakis and Frangos who've created "legislative schemes" to enrich themselves at the expense of poor folk. The FBI has already proved the landbank is a criminal organization and you want to give them more money.
Cuyahoga County Council and the County Executive plan to approve a new structure for the Cuyahoga County Land Bank.
Taxpayers have to stop this from happening. The CCLB is under investigation by the Justice Department. It is a corrupt entity and has been - from inception.

Kenneth Tyson, 48, was indicted on one count of conspiracy to commit bribery and honest services fraud, three counts of honest services wire fraud and one count of bribery, the U.S. Attorney’s Office said Friday in a news release.
“This defendant used his position to enrich himself with free home repairs when he was supposed to be helping rid our community of blight,” U.S. Attorney Justin Herdman said in the news release. “We remain committed to stamping out public corruption in all its forms.”
Tyson is currently the executive director of CLB Services, LLC, an affiliate of the land bank.

Did you lose your home to a third party tax lien? Contact the NAACP Legal Defense Fund. There needs to be a class action law suit against the Cuyahoga County Land Bank.
