Kalo is trying to do this in the spirit of a bailout:<br> Since when is Lorain Mayor Anthony Krasienko, a Democrat, in the business of using the city's federal grant money to take burdensome mortgages off the hands of quasi-public agencies? That is, the Lorain County Community Action Agency's two mortgages. The agency is at 502 Broadway and part of 506 Broadway.<br> <br> Council members, all Democrats, are being asked today to approve a deal that would use $450,000 in federal funds the city has to buy the LCCAA mortgages from a Texas company, which will write off another $400,000 and leave the LCCAA owing Lorain about $2,500 a month instead of owing the Texas firm $6,000 a month.<br> <br> <br> <br> And there's more .... the deal opens the door for the LCCAA to move south into a building at 668 Broadway that County Commissioner Ted Kalo, a Democrat, needs to sell quickly to get out of a foreclosure situation of his own; the LCCAA would become the tenant Kalo needs in that building in order for his deal to click. Kalo said the LCCAA would benefit by getting more working space and better parking.<br> <br> ......If all these deals are approved, the end result is that the LCCAA is off the hook, Kalo is off the hook (and looking better in his re-election campaign). And the city of Lorain is out $450,000 of its federal grant money that might have been used to benefit others in the city in other ways. And the city of Lorain owns another downtown Lorain building with an uncertain future occupancy. A building that is, coincidentally, a neighbor to the offices of Kalo's lawyer, Anthony Giardini, who is the city Democratic Party boss.<br> http://morningjournal.com/articles/2008/10/06/opinion/mj99042.txt<br> <br> Gotta love how the "we care about the working class" Dems will forgo helping them to bailout their own, with public funds.<br> <br> The Democrats have sold their brain-dead constituents a rancid bill of goods, and they keep buying it. <br> <br> I have frequently e-mailed these "representatives" about their input into domestic and foreign policy decisions. The tap dance I get in return makes Fred Astaire look like an amateur. <br> <br> Just TRY to vote them out. It's not possible in a Democratic stronghold with a bunch of morons for voters.
