We need RTA RTA continues to reduce and eliminate needed bus service due to decreased county sales tax revenue. The obvious solution nobody mentions, in America's dumbest and most corrupt big city, where information is controlled by the Plain Dealer to serve the wealthy, is to scrap the not-needed medical mart, and give that money, over $ 74 million so far from the county commissioners' unvoted county sales tax increase, to RTA so it can preserve and restore bus service, including the community circulators.

The public and local economy needs RTA bus service, but does not need a medical mart, which may be an economic failiure. The county commissioners gave this medical mart corrupt corporate welfare deal to county commissioner Tim Hagan's longtime friend fellow Democratic Party bigshot Chris Kennedy without allowing competitive bidding - to make sure Kennedy, and nobody else, gets the medical mart.

Economic development is not the real reason, because if it was, the Three Stooges - Hagan, Jimmy Di Mora? and Peter Lawson Jones (aka our county commissioners) would have held public meetings to invite ideas and proposals for economic development, rather than jam a medical mart down our throats, as a favor from Hagan to Kennedy, usiing our tax money that should have gone to RTA.

How can that be legal? It is theft of our tax money for a private purpose, helping Kennedy, not the public. For that, the Three Stooges belong in jail. But both political parties control our government at all levels, and let each other steal our tax money all the time to enrich themselves and their cronies, Why should wealthy Kennedy and Cleveland Clinic risk their own money for a medical mart, when these corrupt politicians are willing to give them it free, with hundreds of millions of our county sales tax dollars?

The Plain Dealer supports this medical mart scam, because the Cleveland Clinic and University Hospital are major Plain Dealer advertisers, and Cleveland Clinic director Terrence Egger is publisher of the Plain Dealer (Pailin Squealer). Is the public helpless to do anything about this? Occupy the county administration building, tar and feather Hagan and Di Mora?, boycott the Plain Dealer, or what?

It is time for the oppressed peasants to rise up. We lack honest leaders who are not sold-out. Obama won't save us. Neither will Kucinich. We have to do it.
