[00:00:00] Chris: Jake Zuckerman wrote an ideal story about hypocrisy for cleveland.com yesterday and The Plain Supplier right this moment, and it’s the very first thing we’ll be speaking about on right this moment in Ohio. It’s the Information podcast dialogue from cleveland.com and The Plain Supplier. I’m Chris Quinn. I’m right here with Lisa Garvin, Leila Tasi, and Laura Johnston.

And Laura, you get this one. How badly are statements concerning the issues? August elections by some Ohio Republican lawmakers ageing as they now attempt to devalue the facility of our vote with, you guessed it, a particular August election.

[00:00:37] Laura: Nicely, they’re making an attempt to rationalize it, proper? Nicely, that is totally different than that as a result of this, proper, however they need the August election.

For one cause, and that’s to kill the abortion rights Modification, which is aiming to go on the poll in November. So which means they should renege on what they mentioned final yr once they took away the best to have August elections from native governments. Principally, they mentioned it was a approach of gaming the system, and most [00:01:00] of the voters will not be engaged within the course of.

That’s what they mentioned once they handed that, and so they’re proper. That’s the purpose. They hope to sneak this by way of as a result of. To, to cross it. They principally should trick individuals. They’re like, Hey, please surrender your, your rights as a voter. We wanna make it more durable for you as a voter to place something into our state structure.

So the modification would wish greater than 50% of the vote to cross in August. However then future constitutional amendments would wish greater than 60% to cross. Yeah.

[00:01:29] Chris: Let, let, let’s follow the hypocrisy. So let’s title em and say what they mentioned. Okay. Let’s undergo ‘em one

[00:01:35] Laura: by one. All proper. So Thomas Corridor, a Madison Township Republican.

He’s the one who sponsored the unique invoice. He’s the one speaking concerning the gaming, the system. Um, Scott Rham, he’s from Worcester Obole Republican, launched his personal laws in 2019 to. Uh, August election. Right here’s what he mentioned in a current interview. He mentioned, Democrats are on a quote crash course to cite decimate the state structure.

And I might [00:02:00] wish to

[00:02:00] Chris: level Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Might we break that down? Wait, wait. You retain going again to the problem. The, what I wanna discuss is the hypocrisy. They mentioned very sturdy statements about. August Elections are an abuse of the citizenry. Let’s follow that stick to stay to the statements about why August elections are so unhealthy as a result of it, it’s one after one other.

Jerry Sereno, one of many Northeast Ohio guys supported the regulation. That is horrible. It’s costly. It fools the voters. It sneaks who, who’s the legislator, says this can be a approach that college districts sneak tax will increase.

[00:02:34] Laura: Proper. And, and Frank LaRose mentioned, mentioned the identical factor. He mentioned, you understand, he was for it. Now he’s, effectively he was in opposition to August elections, now he’s for August elections.

And Jake, it is best to go and skim the story cuz he has very particular quotes from every particular person. Um, Redolfi, Minerva, Republican mentioned, um, why can’t entities simply wait till November to place the query in entrance of most of the people? Proper? Um, so I talked about Thomas Corridor. [00:03:00] Um, Derek Maron, our, our, our good pal Derek Maron, who tried to maintain, you understand, take management of the, this home.

He was on the file. Now he’s for, for the August election. So yeah, it’s numerous again flips making an attempt to. Make it totally different, however it’s not, they’re making an attempt to sneak

[00:03:20] Chris: this by way of, proper. It proves they’re all a bunch of mendacity hypocrites. They wished to cease August elections. They spoke one after one other about what a disservice it does to the voter.

That it’s a sleazy mechanism that elected leaders used to get issues handed and now, All utilizing that sleazy mechanism, claiming the ends, justify the means. We should always maintain them up for this each time that they had a giant signal on their face once they run for workplace. Hypocrite, hypocrite, hypocrite. That is final an hypocrisy.

Can we return

[00:03:52] Laura: to Wiggin’s assertion for a minute the place he says that Democrats are attempting to take over the Structure with [00:04:00] this? I, that to me factors out the whole lot that’s fallacious with the State Home, proper? As a result of Democrats have zero energy within the State Home due to gerrymandered districts, however they will’t gerrymandered a statewide referendum.

Everyone’s vote counts. It’s one vote whether or not you’re Democrat or Republican, whether or not you reside in a metropolis or the nation. Everyone will get one vote. It must be quite simple. Majority guidelines, however the purpose right here is to determine how one can disen franchise voters who don’t agree with

[00:04:25] Chris: them effectively and sneak it by way of.

They’re making an attempt to devalue our vote by sneaking it by way of with a mechanism that they’ve all acknowledged is sleazy. Look, if individuals in Ohio vote for this, they’re loopy. They’re, they’re principally decreasing the worth of their vote in worshiping these abusive leaders. This is without doubt one of the worst issues that’s been put earlier than Ohio.

I hope there’s numerous dialogue about it and there’s a giant get out the vote right here as a result of this is not going to be good for the way forward for Ohio authorities. It’s one of many final checks and balances

[00:04:58] Laura: now we have, proper? And I’m simply [00:05:00] scared about how a lot cash is gonna pour into this marketing campaign to idiot individuals. I imply, everyone knows that each one these adverts that exit, whether or not they’re in our flyer or on television, aren’t 100% truthful.

[00:05:11] Chris: Yeah. Nicely, the, the individuals in opposition to it ought to simply use the quotes in Jake’s story about what that’s true. The that means is of an August election you’re listening to right this moment in Ohio. Hey, Layla. Why is Cuyahoga County’s high civil lawyer going through potential authorized sanctions in a county jail lawsuit? And did he even have a respectable level to make within the matter that put him into scorching water?

Nicely, this

[00:05:31] Leila: is, that is form of debatable, I th I believe we’re gonna debate this. Dave Lambert is accused of Fri frivolously submitting a movement that assaults a federal decide simply to delay proceedings in a loss. Swimsuit that was introduced by a county jail inmate who was pepper sprayed by guards. So US District Decide, uh, Jay Phillip Calabrese will maintain a listening to right this moment to find out whether or not Lambert’s submitting violated civil case process.

If he decides that Lambert filed this movement both to delay the case or out of [00:06:00] spite for the Decide Lambert or the county may face penalties, which would come with. Probably a tremendous or paying the plaintiff’s lawyer’s charges or forcing lampert to take authorized training courses beneath. All of this can be a lawsuit that was introduced by former inmate Deontay.

James. James’ lawsuit says he was identified with psychological sickness and he was on suicide watch when jail officers pepper sprayed him twice within the face as soon as whereas he was hiding underneath a blanket, and one other time whereas a number of officers held him to the bottom. James’s attorneys have been combating with the county over the county’s refusal to launch movies of incidents when officers used pressure in opposition to different inmates with psychological sickness or attacked inmates who had been in handcuffs or had been being restrained throughout this two yr interval in query.

And James’s attorneys need 60 of those movies to begin with, however there are as many as 450 of them. And the attorneys need the movies as proof that the county had a. Customized and coverage of utilizing extreme pressure on inmates. The truth is, [00:07:00] they should show that for the case to go to trial. The county has refused to launch the movies with out a courtroom order, which isn’t actually how discovery is meant to work.

Additionally, surveillance and physique digital camera footage is public file. However James’s attorneys say they tried greater than 25 instances to get these movies over the previous 16 months. So the county’s been form of trickling them out to the attorneys and combating about it each step of the best way. So on the finish of December, Calabrese ordered all of them launched and mentioned The county is, is fallacious to argue that they’re not public file.

And he threatened to make the county pay hundreds in lawyer’s charges for the time and work that James’ lawyer spent combating for them. Calab set this listening to about that matter again in January, however sooner or later earlier than that listening to. Lambert filed a movement in search of for Calabrese to disqualify himself from the case.

He accused Calabrese of exhibiting a private bias and prejudice in opposition to the county jail based mostly on his private information from his time in non-public follow, as a result of because it seems, Calabrese was one among a number of attorneys who labored on a lawsuit [00:08:00] filed in 2018 that accused the county of working a jail with horrible situations.

Lambert argued that Calabrese had already made up his thoughts concerning the state of affairs on the jail, and he pointed to a ruling within the case of Gary Breck that Calabrese made. The Gary Breck was the previous nurse supervisor who sued the county after he was fired for talking out in opposition to jail situations. So within the ruling, Calabrese blamed then county govt arm in Buddhi for the horrible situations and inmate deaths.

And he mentioned there was loads of blame to go round. So principally Lambert is saying Calabrese harbors all this bias in opposition to the county. On this case, Calabrese sees this movement as a private tax. So we’re gonna discover out quickly, uh, what, what the decide decides. Nicely,

[00:08:40] Chris: yeah. Let’s unpack this as two separate points.

There’s a debate concerning the movies. It does seem to be the prosecutor’s workplace has been delinquent in combating the discharge of data that’s wanted for this case. It’s public file, it’s discovery. They need to have it so, so the decide appears right in [00:09:00] saying, Hey, cease. Messing round. Alternatively, it does really feel just like the decide, based mostly on the truth that he had sued the county for the situations of the jail, could have a fairly severe battle of curiosity.

So isn’t Dave Lambert in his rights to say, Hey. I don’t suppose you have to be sitting

[00:09:17] Leila: on this, this case besides wouldn’t you deliver that up initially of the case, like a yr and a half in the past. I do agree that he ought to have raised this, these claims sooner when the case first started. As an alternative, he recordsdata this movement after the decide guidelines in opposition to the county.

And you understand, let’s be trustworthy, these movies are public file combating. That reality does seem to be a delay tactic that price each events and the decide time and assets for no cause. So I don’t

[00:09:44] Chris: know right here, I don’t know. I look Lambert is a really revered Sure, he’s man. I imply he’s obtained a protracted repute.

He’s protected the county that most likely saved the county thousands and thousands and thousands and thousands of {dollars} together with his, his in a position illustration in civil fits. He may need been ready to see, effectively I get a good [00:10:00] shake from this decide cuz, you understand, going in opposition to the decide and saying, I believe it is best to disqualify your self.

Sort of places you in scorching water for future circumstances. So that you don’t, you don’t play that card until you are feeling you need to. He could have been ready to see if he obtained a good shake earlier than he filed it. I simply, the concept they’re going for sanctions appears excessive to me, it’s, it’s, He’s representing the county.

He’s frightened concerning the decide exhibiting bias, whether or not you agree with it or not, however, however ought to his regulation occupation be threatened? Ought to he be censured to doing

[00:10:31] Leila: that? Nicely, I imply, most likely not. It’s the opposing, it’s the plaintiff’s attorneys who’re in search of that form of treatment right here. And possibly the decide will say, oh, that’s not.

That, that’s going just a little far. However you understand, you had been saying that, that he was, wait, he, possibly he was ready to see if he obtained a good shake earlier than taking part in this card, however it’s it not getting a good shake that the decide mentioned, Hey, these are public data, you gotta launch ‘em. I imply that Nicely, he

[00:10:57] Chris: doesn’t, he doesn’t suppose so.

Why? I imply, I imply, [00:11:00] if his opinion is, I don’t suppose that’s truthful that they’re making us give an onerous variety of movies. You say it’s public file, however everyone knows that the regulation has modified due to the Supreme Court docket rulings. Your, your data requests should be very particular. You may’t simply go in and say, I need 400 movies.

You’re not gonna get ‘em. You’re gonna should say particularly what you need. Discovery guidelines are totally different. I don’t know fairly how they might apply, however, however there at all times is negotiation and discovery. Look, I, I believe, I believe you’re proper. I believe they need to present the movies. I, it looks as if that they’re resisting an excessive amount of.

However there’s a, a respectable dispute happening right here and to show it into sanctions. Look, this jumped off the web page of me. I imply, Dave Lambert being introduced up on sanctions. This man has a sterling repute. That looks as if a I

[00:11:48] Leila: agree. I agree. Nevertheless it, it’s suspect that he didn’t increase the priority when the case first began.

Everyone. I imply, he knew that this decide had. Historical past of engaged on circumstances like this earlier than he was a [00:12:00] decide and I simply suppose, you understand, it most likely didn’t behoove him to carry onto that card if he felt prefer it was a obligatory factor to do.

[00:12:08] Chris: In hindsight, I’m positive he agrees with you. You’re listening to right this moment in Ohio, how is Akron making ready for the unrest that would end result Monday when a grand jury considers the police killing of Jaylen Walker is Monday once we discover out whether or not the capturing of Walker was justified or against the law.

Lisa?

[00:12:28] Lisa: Yeah, this can be a little bit to unpack right here. So on Monday, a particular grand jury in Summit County will convene to think about the police capturing demise of 25 yr previous Jaylin Walker final June in Akron’s North Hill neighborhood. This grand jury will decide if prices must be filed in opposition to. Eight Akron cops who haven’t been recognized, and so they had been on administrative depart after the capturing, however they’re now again on the job in administrative roles, so in preparation.

They usually’ve had unrest over Jaylen Walker’s, uh, [00:13:00] demise earlier than. So the issues they’re, they’re doing, they’re boarding up metropolis corridor, home windows, and different downtown buildings. Uh, the Akron Police Division and the Downtown Akron Partnership could have textual content messages for relaying highway closures, curfews, and. It’s, you understand, occasions or points after the grand jury’s determination, they’re contemplating a chosen demonstration zone throughout the road from the courthouse and the town directors met with native activists, residents and enterprise homeowners to tell them of the grand jury course of.

Cuz lots of people don’t understand how a grand jury works. So Monday is not going to be the day that we discover out whether or not, you understand, they are going to, you understand, pursue prices in opposition to these officers as a result of grand. Take a look at the proof and resolve whether or not prices must be filed and so they’re figuring it’s gonna take a couple of week to current all this proof to the grand.

[00:13:51] Chris: I, I nonetheless suppose the crux of that is going to return all the way down to did he hearth the shot or not? The, the, the, the police believed he shot at [00:14:00] them. There was some proof of it, however we’ve nonetheless not had any precise willpower from the investigation as as to if that occurred. Proper. Proper? That’s

[00:14:09] Lisa: right. Yeah.

There was a video that confirmed him pointing one thing out of the window, however they don’t know if it was a gun. However after, you understand, once they pulled him over and like shot him, inside seconds of pulling him over, they did discover a gun and a marriage ring within the automotive. I do know he was despondent as a result of the connection had simply damaged up, however there was no proof, or we don’t know of any proof whether or not it that gun was a factor that was identified The.

[00:14:34] Laura: I do suppose his girlfriend had died in

[00:14:37] Lisa: a automotive accident. That’s what it was. She died. You’re proper.

[00:14:39] Chris: Yeah. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Nicely, let’s cross our fingers for Akron, cuz this may very well be a powder keg. They usually’ve actually dealt with this gorgeous effectively up to now. The mayor has been very proactive in, in making an attempt to maintain passions from exploding.

However let’s hope it really works. You’re listening to right this moment in. Most individuals have heard of the [00:15:00] amputations of toes or ft that may end result from diabetes. How is a college hospital surgeon pioneering a method to cut back these amputations? And Laura, this actually is on the market form of a process.

[00:15:12] Leila: It’s, however

[00:15:12] Laura: it’s.

Been very profitable up to now. So the rationale that many diabetes sufferers find yourself with amputations is that they develop blockages within the giant arteries of their legs, which interrupts blood circulation to the legs and ft. So this new method, reroutes blood circulation to the legs and ft utilizing wholesome veins. These usually carry deoxygenated blood again to the guts and lungs, and as an alternative they’re gonna be carrying it too.

Toes. It’s reversing the course of the blood circulation within the veins, and this will save limbs and even lives. There have been 18 hospitals nationwide that enrolled sufferers within the trial. Uh, is the one website in Ohio. And Dr. Mendi Sija Bo, a president of the College Hospital’s, Harrington Coronary heart and Vascular Institute pioneered this complete therapy, which known as lymph.

[00:15:59] Chris: Yeah, I, [00:16:00] I reversing the circulation of your blood in order that it’s going out in your veins and again in your arteries. That simply appears like loopy science, however it’s saving individuals’s limbs. Yeah. So

[00:16:10] Laura: far se 76% of sufferers are in a position to maintain their leg and their wounds have both, Utterly or partially healed after six months.

And this information was within the New England Journal of Drugs in March. This helps, may assist a whole bunch of hundreds of individuals yearly. The Amputee Coalition of America estimates greater than 500 sufferers endure amputation every single day. And diabetic sufferers who’ve amputations usually tend to die or be completely disabled for all times.

So that forestalls. Presents an an incredible burden to their, the sufferers themselves, their households, and society. So give it some thought, if we may maintain a whole bunch of hundreds of individuals from ending up in wheelchairs, like that’s fairly, or, or with prosthetic limbs, like that’s fairly unbelievable.

[00:16:55] Chris: Nicely, and the instance of the lady who nicked her toe Sure.

Nicely, getting an [00:17:00] an infection, reducing his O nail. Proper. After which couldn’t cease the an infection as a result of blood circulation was so weak. Yeah. It’s simply, uh, it’s great things. Try Jack Gretchen crow’s story on cleveland.com. The surgeon Normal was within the Cleveland Wednesday and I wasn’t to see Bruce Springsteen or later possibly it was possibly he used a go to to Cleveland Metropolis Corridor trigger he wished to go see the boss.

What was the rationale he

[00:17:23] Leila: mentioned he was right here? Nicely, they invited the surgeon, common Viv Murphy to Cleveland to debate what Murphy has referred to as a rising psychological well being disaster amongst America’s youth. So BIB took MUR to satisfy with a gaggle of highschool college students for what sounds prefer it was a. Candid dialog with the youngsters concerning the psychological well being challenges that they face.

Particularly, they talked concerning the impact of expertise and social media and their psychological wellbeing. They talked about gun violence and, and in addition the results of the pandemic afterward, when BIB and MUR had been briefing reporters on their assembly with these younger individuals, mur mentioned, most of the college students spoke concerning the pressures inside and outdoors of [00:18:00] college in a put up pandemic world, particularly for these youngsters who’ve.

You realize, who spent their first two years of highschool fully on Zoom bib mentioned that there was one pupil who mentioned she felt as if the world was shifting, however she wasn’t. I imply, my goodness, that’s so completely sums up that feeling, isn’t it? So Murthy mentioned, the influence on youngsters’ psychological well being is actual and quantifiable.

We noticed a. 57% improve within the suicide charge amongst youngsters and 50% improve in emergency room visits attributable to psychological well being in the course of the pandemic. He mentioned the C D C reported just lately that one in three ladies has thought-about taking her personal life, however he’s hopeful that this. Disaster is solvable, however it’ll take time. He says, we have to improve the variety of psychological well being suppliers who’re particularly ready to take care of the issues that younger individuals are going through right this moment, and that goes hand in hand with enhancing psychological well being funding and higher entry to telehealth assets.

Bib mentioned he plans to make use of federal cash from. ARPA [00:19:00] to assist launch school-based and community-based psychological well being packages. He additionally mentioned he hopes to construct what he has talked about many instances this kids’s cupboard in his administration to handle points going through younger individuals in Cleveland.

[00:19:15] Chris: So this actually did occur cuz the mayor invited

[00:19:18] Leila: me.

Sounds prefer it. I imply, you understand, bib, that is a kind of issues the place, you understand, now we have all been like, wow, my, our minds are blown that Justin bib travels lots and meets with individuals in numerous cities, meets with, uh, mayors and leaders somewhere else, goes to DC. However look, he truly has connections, which I’m undecided that we’re used to after a number of phrases with a mayor who didn’t actually care what the skin world felt about

[00:19:45] Lisa: Cleveland.

[00:19:47] Chris: You realize, I, the most likely the commonest questions I get from individuals. Is, what do I consider Justin Bib? What do I consider Chris Ronan and I attempt to meet with these guys at some form of common intervals, and it simply occurred that this week I, [00:20:00] I obtained to sit down down each of ‘em. It’s off the file conversations, and it’s largely to keep up communications in order that we’re getting our tales proper and there’s not friction.

However I gotta let you know, I, I nonetheless have numerous optimism. I. They’re each pondering very radically totally different from the previous and doing issues which are progressive and extra to return and you understand, it may possibly all crash and burn. We’ve seen public officers crash and burn so typically that you just simply take it as a right. However as individuals ask me about this, I nonetheless suppose the optimism that they had when these guys had been elected ought to stay.

They’re each performing some

[00:20:36] Leila: very shut stuff. I felt like this story made. Actually really feel that that bib is fairly engaged with the younger individuals within the metropolis. I imply, he, he mentioned he meets often with the Cleveland Faculty Pupil Advisory Committee, and that this concept to deliver MUR to city got here out of a session with mayors the place they had been discussing the influence of the pandemic on youngsters psychological well being.

And he determined he didn’t need to simply deliver that dialogue to Cleveland, however he wished the youngsters [00:21:00] themselves to be part of it, to be heard. And that, you understand, that got here to cross. And that’s greater than lip service. I’m, I’m trying, I’m trying ahead to. His kids’s cupboards set into movement. If if cuz if finished proper, that may very well be the hyperlink that we’ve been lacking for years and years within the metropolis’s response to so many points that have an effect on their lives.

[00:21:18] Chris: Nicely, I talked to him about that in relation to a undertaking that we’re contemplating doing. And I, I believe there’s some actual, um, uh, sym symbiotic relationships that may very well be constructed between that. So, yeah, it’s thrilling stuff. I, this one blew me away. It’s similar to, wow, that’s fairly cool. Good for him. You’re listening to As we speak in Ohio.

Right here’s one other space the place the mayor has made a distinction. Many individuals are excited by what’s to return with the nonprofit, taking the helm of the West facet market. One group that may very well be helped in a giant approach is ladies who personal new or small companies. Lisa Howso.

[00:21:54] Lisa: Nicely, as a result of the West Aspect market has a 30% emptiness charge, which is up from 7% earlier than the [00:22:00] pandemic.

Um, so a number of alternatives to get a stand on the West Aspect market. There was a panel within the Neighborhood Audio system collection in Ohio, this metropolis this week, and the title was within the Marketplace for Alternative Ladies Entrepreneurs. And the panelists embody two ladies distributors on the West Aspect Market and the Director of the Ladies’s Enterprise Facilities of Ohio and Amanda.

I consider I’m saying this proper. Amanda Chora, who’s the pinnacle of Chora meets in Westside Market and Elena Caruso from the Dwelling Pantry mentioned that they discovered the market atmosphere and the distributors to be very nurturing and so they had been very useful to new and and skilled enterprise homeowners. There’s a loyal buyer base.

There’s a built-in networking on the West facet market, and so they’re optimistic that the brand new Cleveland Public Market Company nonprofit has potential for additional supporting and. New enterprise and, and particularly ladies distributors. 24 of the 70 present distributors on the West Aspect market are ladies. [00:23:00] And as they mentioned, you understand, there are many stands obtainable.

It’s an ideal place to, you understand, get your, your corporation began and get larger visibility.

[00:23:08] Chris: The one of many, this got here out of a kind of outreach classes that they’re doing. They’re going across the neighborhood and speaking about totally different features. That’s a brand new side to the west facet market.

[00:23:19] Lisa: Uh, effectively, I’m undecided what you’re, what you, you imply

[00:23:22] Chris: the, this story got here out of a panel dialogue, right?

Yeah. Mm-hmm. Yeah. They usually’re doing, uh, what are, Laura, what’s it, seven of those, 5 of those that they’re taking round city? Yeah, they’re,

[00:23:30] Lisa: they’re doing seven and the subsequent one can also be concerning the West facet market, and it’s gonna be speaking concerning the west facet market historical past. So, yeah, that is, you understand, I, I, I don’t know if the concentrate on the West facet market is new for this speaker collection, however it’s actually welcome.

[00:23:44] Laura: Yeah, effectively I believe the entire thought is once they transferred the, the working, the operation of it’s that welcoming an entire lot extra voices in how to do that the best approach. And I believe lots of people really feel a kinship with the market that this provides a, a possibility to have a [00:24:00] voice.

[00:24:01] Chris: Okay, you’re listening to right this moment in Ohio.

We’re working outta time. Ohioans do like to gamble. Other than sports activities betting, how did casinos and casinos do in February? Laura,

it

[00:24:10] Laura: appears like a damaged file, however we broke one other file. So we’re speaking concerning the 11 casinos in casinos. They’d 197 million price of playing income in February. That’s up 100 from 178.8 million.
