DebFEE Sutherland Lie List

I thought it would be a good idea to start cataloging the lies falsehoods and fabrications of one DebFEE Sutherland in her attempt to usurp the County Commission seat of Peter Lawson Jones.

Please note: She has help, the "Blame" Dealer is a regular shill for DebFEE to get her message of lies out. They are not to be trusted as an unbiased arbiter or distributor of reputable information.

DebFEE Sutherland Lie #1:

"I was for the sales tax before I was against it and now I am against another sales tax altogether. "

Funny but true and this is all on record in print and video.

First - the support of the MedMart Sales Tax:

Sutherland
seeks Browns' support for Medical Mart

Published Aug. 8, 2007

Sutherland was one of four suburban mayors who wrote a letter last month stating their support for the project but also
asking that the Cuyahoga County Commissioners dedicate funds raised by the quarter-cent sales tax increase solely to the project and not have any of the funds utilized for other purposes.

A new convention center and related Medical Mart would open in Cleveland, but suburbanites will probably pay most of the cost if a countywide sales tax increase stands. Forty area mayors say they're OK with that.

The ripple effects of the project -- including new jobs and visitors and an improved medical reputation -- will lift the entire region, Bay Village Mayor Deborah Sutherland said.

Sutherland, president of the Mayors and City Managers Association, announced the group's endorsement of the project and tax Thursday.

Sutherland
calls for suspension of med mart sales tax

Cuyahoga County Commissioner candidate Deborah Sutherland is calling for the suspension of the recent sales tax increase - an increase she supported [2]- because the Medical Mart project is moving too slowly.

Candidates feud over convention center tax

A year ago, Bay Village Mayor Debbie Sutherland and Cuyahoga County Commissioner Peter Lawson Jones were advocating different financing plans for a convention center and medical mart complex. Now that they’re running against each other in November for a seat on the Board of Commissioners, they’re still on opposite sides of the fence, but they’ve changed places.

Mayor
Sutherland, a Republican, has asked the three commissioners to suspend collection of the one-quarter percentage point convention center sales tax until the commissioners complete a deal to build the convention center and an adjoining medical merchandise mart. She called it “a tax time out.”

Her opponent called that a “flip-flop.”

And for the finale- The back flip on the flip-flop

 

Dial 911 - Debbie Sutherland "Died" in Debate Against Lawson Jones... PD Editor Goldberg Should Disappear

During the Euclid League of Women Voters debate, DebFEE Sutherland said in her closing that she "wanted to make it clear" "that she was in support of the 0.25% sales tax increase for the MedCon, as always, but wanted to eliminate some other 0.25% sales tax... it made no sense at all."

Still waiting for the video to surface on this one but it was in front of 100 people.

Hey DebFEE - sign up for the gymnastics team for the 2012 London Olympics. The amount of complicated twists in this particular routine should get you a medal.
