The city of cleveland and it's Mayor is a joke, I mean he is a looser, They had a "state of the city address" today, and this is some of the better remarks he made.
Another area I am investing in is public safety. This is a challenge that I am meeting head on. In 2007, Cleveland faced a 14.53 percent rise in homicides. However, overall, violent crime was down in Cleveland by 7.1 percent. I would like to thank Public Safety Director Martin Flask, Police Chief Michael McGrath and all of our police officers for their hard work over the last 24 months.
What he should have said was, Be careful when coming to vist our city, They won't beat you with a baseball bat anymore, they just shoot you dead.
I think we have a gun problem in cleveland.
Last year, Chief McGrath deployed 146 gun suppression events in our neighborhoods, seizing 102 guns and arresting 265 individuals during 146 deployments. This year, the Chief is expanding the gun suppression initiative - with more than 300 gun suppression events planned. So far this year, we have taken 26 guns off our city streets and arrested 133 people as a result of gun suppression events. In total, nearly 1000 guns were seized in 2007 and a gun buy back in November gave us an additional 423 guns.
Another strategy started in January is the "Neighborhood Safety Initiative". To date, the neighborhood safety initiatives has resulted in: 232 felony drug arrests; 16 concealed carry arrests; more than 200 other felony and misdemeanor arrests for prostitution, auto theft and other crimes; more than 250 citations for things like loud music and littering; more than 4,300 traffic violations were issued; and, eight guns and nearly $100,000 has been seized. In addition, the Police issued parking violations, liquor violations and curfew violations.
And the best one, and why we can't get any business in cleveland.
As always, I start with the City's finances. Like all of you business and homeowners, our costs continue to increase. In 2008, general fund expenditures for Cleveland are estimated at just over $531 million while actual expenditures for 2007 were just over $511 million. At the same time, overall revenue is projected to decrease 2.2 percent from just over $516 million in 2007 to just over $505 million in 2008. This is one of the challenges we face.
So If you alway wanted to live in Cleveland ohio, now a great time to move................ Out of here.
