County Commisioner Jimmy Dimora (photo: www.coolcleveland.com [1])
NEO citizens and the REALNEO community in particular, have been absolutely candid in their disappointment on the views and policies dictated from the County Commisioner Level, and Jimmy DiMora may be due for some karmic retribution. FBI agents today raided the homes [2] of multiple county facilities and the residents of key county personnel, including that of Jimmy D, and all media wires have been off the wall, not surprisingly, since. The offices and homes of both DiMora and County Auditor James Russo were included in these FBI raids. From Newsday to the Akron Beacon Journal [3] to the latest local TV news reports, the region is witnessing history in the making - and according to the FBI themselves, the culmination of a years-long corruption stakeout.
NEO citizens paying close enough attention probably recall the media news break revealing FBI investigations pointing to county recorder Pat O'Malley [4] and inquiries made related to child porn and other dubious endeavors. Jimmy Dimora, just this past May, gave bold statements regarding 'cutting the strings' and such - I wonder if a few of those strings shot back Jimmy's way, and what links that investigation might have to this one?
What can one say? We've known and called out the poor leadership decisions made numerous times from the Commissioners' seat(s) - and I can only expect a bit of a domino effect, which will reveal some very interesting things from both the Federal and Press sides as the root of corruption is traced from source to satellites, and back again. Could we look at the rooting out of city-level leadership as the investigation goes across municipality and jurisdiction?
These are very interesting times, indeed - stay tuned for ongoing commentary!
