CLEVELAND URBAN NEWS.COM-EAST CLEVELAND, Ohio-Black women educators of greater Cleveland held a fundraiser for Una H.R. Keenon, one of five declared candidates for the Sept. 12 primary election for East Cleveland mayor, at the Cleveland Heights home of David and Dr. Mary Rice on last Saturday, Rice a retired Cleveland schools principal and a member of the East Cleveland Board of Education whose home sits in the area of Cleveland Heights where the students attend East Cleveland schools.

Keenon is also endorsed by the Cuyahoga County Democratic Party its executive director, Lillian Sharpley, said in a press release to Clevelandurbannews.com and Kathywraycolemanonlinenewsblog.com

The primary election for East Cleveland mayor and select city council seats is Sept 12 and Keenon is among four Democrats on the ballot.

The winner will face Green Party candidate and activist Devin Branch in the Nov 7 general election, and the only woman running for mayor.

A former educator, retired East Cleveland judge, current president of the East Cleveland Board of Education and the former president and current vice president of the Black Women's PAC that she founded decades ago, Keenon told Clevelandurbannews.com and Kathywraycolemanonlinenewsblog.com at Saturday's fundraiser that she has what it takes to be mayor, including "proven experience and proven leadership."

Among the dignitaries in attendance were East Cleveland City Council members Nathaniel Martin and Barbara Thomas, East Cleveland Board of Education Vice President Eve Westbrooks, East Cleveland Public Library Board of Trustee Member Zakee Ameer Rashif, former East Cleveland councilman Charles Bibb Sr., the Rev Lorenzo Norris, who is senior pastor of Concord Baptist Church in Cleveland and president of the Cleveland Clergy Alliance, and the Rev. Benjamin Gohlstin of Heritage Baptist Church in Cleveland, the husband of attendee Elaine Gohlstin, president of the Black Women's PAC, and president and CEO of the Harvard Community Services Center in Cleveland.

"We need to show up and show out," said East Cleveland Councilwoman Barbara Thomas in urging Keenon supporters to rally others to vote for Keenon.

Other educators there included former Cleveland schools chief academic officer Dr. Livesteen Carter, former Cleveland schools elementary school principal Dr. Donna Kolb, teacher Sandy Patterson, and Meryl Tolbert Johnson, a retired Cleveland schools teacher and current member of the state board of education.

"We need to pay attention to the cities that border Cleveland Heights like East Cleveland," said Dr. Kolb, a Cleveland Heights resident.

Some East Cleveland residents were also in attendance.

"I am glad that Una Keenon is running for East Cleveland mayor, our city needs good leadership," said Carmen Dortin, an East Cleveland resident.

It was the second fundraiser for mayor for Keenon, a former social worker and school teacher who founded the first Black female law firm in Ohio before she was ultimately elected judge, the first fundraiser of which was held this summer in East Cleveland at her and her husband Coy's home.

A Cleveland suburb, East Cleveland is roughly 99 percent Black, has a median household income of some $20,000, and is broke.

In addition to Keenon and Green Party candidate Devin Branch, the other mayoral candidates, all of them Black like Keenon and Branch, are former councilman Mansell Baker, Dana Hawkins Jr, and current mayor Brandon King, the former council vice president who, per the city charter, was elevated to mayor after voters last year recalled then mayor Gary Norton and then council president Thomas Wheeler.

King is a Norton and Wheeler ally.

Keenon highlighted a 10-point plan, a core aspect of her political platform that includes jobs and community development, fiscal responsibility, and housing and safety.

Lucille Short, a Cleveland schools grandmother and great grandmother who was at Saturday's fundraiser, said she did not personally know Keenon but was impressed with her demeanor when Kennon was a judge and Short accompanied her daughter to court in East Cleveland.

"How people treat you can leave an impression," said Short, 81, and once a key parental figure relative to the now defunct Cleveland schools desegrgation court order. "She [Keenon] was fair with my daughter when my daughter appeared in her courtroom, and she did not talk down to her."

CLEVELAND URBAN NEWS.COM-COLUMBUS, Ohio - The Ohio Supreme Court on Monday dismissed a challenge to Cleveland Councilman Jeff Johnson's mayoral candidacy, setting the stage for a possible run-off between Johnson and incumbent mayor Frank Jackson, if he can overcome seven other bonafide candidates, including Councilman Zack Reed and state Rep. Bill Patmon, to gain second place, Jackson of whom remains the favorite in a race with nine total candidates and two write-ins.

The other running for mayor are former East Cleveland mayor Eric Brewer, Brandon Chrostowski, Robert Kilo, Tony Madalone, Dyrone Smith, and write-ins Jerome Bell and Camry Kincaid.

The non-partisan primary election for mayor and the 17 city council seats is Sept 12 with the top two vote-getter's advancing to the Nov. 7 general election.

At issue is a 1998 conviction for extortion that a Cuyahoga County Common Pleas Court judge, per state law, expunged from Johnson's record.

The high court said in its dismissal Monday that Ed Davila, a White west side resident who filed the challenge after the Cuyahoga County Board of Elections in May rejected a similar challenge he filed, failed to file his brief or any evidence by July 27 as ordered.

Sources said yesterday that the attempt to oust Johnson, a licensed attorney who is Black and a clear Democrat like Jackson, Reed, and Patmon from the ballot, is frivolous.

The county board of elections, upon the written recommendation of Summit County Prosecutor Sherri Bevan Walsh, who stepped in for Cuyahoga County Prosecutor Michael O'Malley due to an alleged conflict of interest, voted unanimously, or 4-0, to reject the challenge brought by Davila, a suspended and former Stark County attorney.

Neighboring Summit County includes the city of Akron, the native home of Cleveland Cavaliers power forward and NBA megastar LeBron James.

The board of elections challenge said in part that the board of elections should usurp state law and brand extortion as bribery, a felony conviction not eligible to be expunged under state law in Ohio.

But Walsh said in her legal assessment that the board of elections had no such authority, and that it is clear that Johnson was convicted of extortion, not bribery

A former Akron assistant city prosecutor, Walsh is a Democrat like Johnson, and a no-nonsense prosecutor who last year was elected to a historical fifth term.

A Glenville councilman who was head of the Black student union and homecoming king in his college days at Kent State University, Johnson was convicted in late 1998 by a federal jury of Hobbs Act extortion for reportedly receiving some $17,000 in campaign contributions from Arab-American grocers, in exchange for favors.

But the federal indictment did not charge Johnson with bribery. He was charged, in fact, with four counts of extortion and two counts of wire fraud.

The wire fraud counts were dismissed before trial and Johnson, who alleged entrapment to no avail, was convicted on three of the four extortion counts.

The councilman served nine months of a 15-month federal prison sentence.

When the federal indictment came down Johnson, also a former city councilman, was a state senator in ambitious pursuit of the congressional seat vacated by the retirement of longtime 11th congressional district congressman Louis Stokes, a seat currently held by Marcia Fudge that went to the late Stephanie Tubbs- Jones of Cleveland, who was Black like Stokes and Fudge.

The Ohio Supreme Court restored Johnson's law license in 2009 and in 2010 he was again elected to city council.

Obama and Obamacare win: U.S. Senate votes down GOP health care bill to repeal Obamacare, and Congresswoman Kaptur tells Clevelandurbannews.com that she hopes the 'partisan driven chaos' is over and called the bill "an ill concieved ruse"

CLEVELAND URBAN NEWS.COM, WASHINGTON, D.C- The U.S. Senate, on Friday, voted down a GOP bill to repeal Obamacare, former president Barack Obama's signature universal healthcare initiative officially known as the Affordable Care Act.

The measure fail to defeat 51-49 with Arizona Sen. John McCain casting the deciding vote, he and two other Republicans, Susan Collins of Maine and Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, together becoming the GOP trio that sealed the fate of President Donald Trump on one of his most high-profile policy agendas.

"It offered no replacement to reform our healthcare system," McCain said in a press release on Friday of the Obamacare repeal bill.

Ohio 9th Congressional District Congresswoman Marcy Kaptur, a Toledo Democrat and the longest serving woman in congress, and whose congressional district extends to Cleveland, told Clevelandurbannews.com in a statement that she is relieved and hopes it will bring an end to the Republican shenanigans over a current health care initiative that is in the best interest of the American people.

"Let's hope this partisan driven chaos that was causing so much anxiety for the American people is finally over," said Kaptur. "I am relieved the Senate rejected this ill-conceived ruse and all the Ohioans who gained the security of health insurance thanks to the Affordable Care Act can have peace of mind."

Kaptur said that "the American people need congress to fight for them on health care instead of appeasing special interests and catering to partisan politics."

The fight over one of the most controversial public policy measures in the country's history puts to rest, for now, a seven- year battle by Republicans in congress to dismantle the Affordable Care Act, a federal law that congress adopted in 2010 that brought about sweeping and revolutionary changes in the nation's health care system coupled with accessibility to heath care insurance to millions of ill-fated Americans.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky was numb and had worked the last three months to attempt to craft legislation to repeal and replace Obamacare that his Senate colleagues would embrace, obviously to no avail.

"This was really disappointing wasn't it?" said McConnell after the 1:30 am Friday morning Senate vote that toppled President Trump's campaign promise to end Obamacare and keeps in tact public policy that defines, in part, the legacy of Obama, the nation's first Black president, and Trump's all so articulate predecessor.

McConnell had said that repealing and not replacing Obamacare was also acceptable to him, a stance taken in recent weeks as the bill, officially titled the American Heath Care Act of 2017, became mired in controversy after passing in the House of Representatives in May with Democrats in both the House and Senate in staunch opposition to the proposed legislation.

On Tuesday Senate Republicans, with Rob Portman from Ohio aboard as well as Arizona Sen John McCain, who is fighting brain cancer, voted 51-50 to move forward with debate on Trumpcare.

Led by Organizing for Action, opponents of the bill have regularly protested against Portman in recent months, and often at his door step at the federal building where his Cleveland office is located.

A Washington Post poll released two Sunday's ago says Americans prefer Obamacare by a 2-1 margin and as support of the legislation increases Trump's approval rating is decreasing, having dropped from 42 percent in April to 36 percent.

Notably, the bill, among a host of mandates, required an overhaul of medicaid funding and was opposed by Ohio Gov John Kasich, a 2016 unsuccessful candidate for the Republican nomination for president. And it was aimed at eliminating the core mandates of Obamacare, including the annual financial penalty against Americans who fail to secure health care insurance.

CLEVELAND URBAN NEWS.COM-CLEVELAND, Ohio-Former Cleveland Municipal Court judge Pauline Tarver, a Democrat and former executive director of the Cleveland NAACP turned judge, died Wednesday while a candidate this year as a favorite in a four-way race to regain a seat on the 13- member largely Black Cleveland Municipal Court bench after she lost it in 2015 to the late Ed Wade, a Black Republican who succumbed to cancer in 2016. She was 63.

She was endorsed in her most recent bid for judge by 11th Congressional District Congresswoman Marcia L. Fudge, a Warrensville Heights Democrat and one of two Blacks in congress from Ohio.

Both Fudge and Cleveland Mayor Frank Jackson issued statements commending Tarver for her community service, the mayor saying that she was one of the most committed public servants he has had the privilege of knowing, and Fudge saying that Tarver was hardworking, upstanding, caring, and "a true guardian of the law."

Tarver had been a judge for 12 years when she lost to Wade in a close race two years ago.

The circumstances behind her death were unreported at press time. She was briefly on life support, and was taken off Wednesday, sources said.

Memorial services are Saturday morning Aug 5 at Antioch Baptist Church in Cleveland beginning with a 10 am wake followed by services at 11 am.

While once campaigning for judge she said for an article for a University of Akron blog that she had prepared all her life for the bench.

"My entire life I have prepared to be on the bench," said Tarver. "I have been involved with the community my entire career, working as a community organizer and the going on to work with all facets of the community, victims of crime, police departments, and grand juries."

Tarver continued.

" I worked five years with the Cleveland Rape Crisis Center counseling victims, training law enforcement and grand juries in rape evidence collection while volunteering with Women Together, the battered women’s shelter in the late seventies and early eighties."

As executive director of the Cleveland NAACP Tarver fought tirelessly for the Civil Rights of Black people, sources said. And she was resilient.

"Pauline Tarver served the Cleveland NAACP well for years and was an unusual and independent-minded jurist, and she steered her own ship," said state Rep. Bill Patmon, a Cleveland Democrat and mayoral candidate who said he was sadden to learn of her passing behind the death last week of retired Cleveland judge Jean Murrell Capers at the age of 104, and the first Black woman elected to Cleveland City Council. ( CLICK HERE TO READ THE JEAN MURRELL CAPERS ARTICLE AT CLEVELAND URBAN NEWS.COM )

Charles Bibb Sr, a former East Cleveland councilman and Cuyahoga County Democratic Party operative who leads the Carnegie Roundtable said that he was " glad to see that Pauline Tarver had been elevated from executive director of the Cleveland NAACP to a Cleveland judge."

Cleveland activist and journalist Kathy Wray Coleman of the Imperial Women Coalition, who knew Tarver, called her death "a loss to the judiciary and to the Civil Rights and women's rights movements"

Francess Caldwell, executive director of the Cleveland African American Museum, said she volunteered under Tarver with the NAACP and that Tarver "was a fair judge when some of these Black judges are unfair to the Black community."

Tarver's sudden death sent shock waves throughout the Black community since she was well-known in the community and in political circles as a judge and a longtime former executive director of the Cleveland NAACP under the reign of the once powerful George Forbes, now a part time local attorney and former longtime Cleveland City council president who lost a mayoral run-off to his protege, Mike White, in 1989. He then served 20 years as president of the Cleveland NAACP branch until he resigned in 2012.

Tarver graduated from John Adams High School in Cleveland and went on to earn a bachelor's degree from John Carroll University and a law degree from Cleveland-Marshall School of Law.

She never married, and had no children.

She is survived by siblings, among others, and was close to her her mother, Sarah Massengill-Tarver, a Civil Rights advocate who died in 2013.

Tarver was first elected to the Cleveland Municipal Court bench in 2003 and was reelected for a second six year term in 2009 before losing a third term to Wade in 2015. She was the executive director of the Cleveland NAACP from 1982-2003, and was also a prior grant writer and community organizer.

Additionally, Tarver was a member of Antioch Baptist Church in Cleveland, the Black Women's Political Action Committee, and the National Council of Negro Women, among other organizations.

Obamacare in trouble: GOP Senators McCain, and Portman from Ohio join fellow Republicans in passing motion to debate GOP bill dubbed Trumpcare that would repeal and replace Obamacare....By editor Kathy Wray Coleman of Clevelandurbannews.com

25 July 2017

CLEVELAND URBAN NEWS.COM, WASHINGTON, D.C- Senate Republicans

, with Rob Portman from Ohio aboard and Arizona Sen John McCain, who is fighting brain cancer, voted 51-50 on Tuesday to move forward with debate on a GOP bill to repeal and replace Obamcare, the 2010 Affordable Care Act, former president Barack Obama's signature heathcare intitiative that brought health care insurance to millions of Americans.

Sen Sherrod Brown, a Cleveland Democrat who voted against the measure, says it is offensive, and will hurt lives, and the economy.

But sources say there is a long road ahead if a health care solution is reached, including amendments to the bill, if it gets that far.

Vice President Mike Pence broke the 50-50 tie to make it 51-50, and after he, President Donald Trump and GOP congressional leaders lobbied fellow Republicans in support.

Trump will speak at a rally in Youngstown, Ohio in Mahoning Count, also on Tuesday, and is expected to promote the bill dubbed Trumpcare and officially name the American Heath Care Act of 2017.

Senate Majority Leader McConnell has said that repealing and not replacing Obamacare is also acceptable to him, a stance taken in recent weeks as the bill remains mired in controversy.

With Democrats in opposition, including House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi of California, and Reps Fudge, a Warrensville Heights Democrat and one of two Blacks in congress from Ohio, and Marcy Kaptur, a Toledo Democrat, the House of Representatives passed the American Health Care Act in May but it has stalled in the senate even with a revision.

Notably, the bill, among a host of mandates, requires an overhaul of medicaid funding and is opposed by Ohio Gov John Kasich, a 2016 unsuccessful candidate for the Republican nomination for president.

Activists, Democratic leaders to protest Trump's July 25 visit to Youngstown, Ohio where a third of the residents, 45 percent of the population Black, have Obamacare heath care insurance and the senate is to vote on a repeal and replacement on July 25

CLEVELAND URBAN NEWS.COM, YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio-Republican President Donald Trump will speak at a rally in Youngstown, Ohio in Mahoning County on Tuesday, July 25, 2017 just three days after Vice President Mike Pence spoke at a state dinner held Saturday in Columbus by the Republican Party, and activists and Democratic leaders plan to picket the Youngstown event.

Organizers say they expect more than 20,000 people who have sought tickets to hear the president speak, his second visit to the swing state of Ohio since becoming president.

The senate is expected to vote Tuesday on a GOP heathcare package to appeal and replace Obamacare with confusion over whether the Trumpcare bill is or is not a wholesale repeal.

The vote is actually a procedural vote for Republican congressional leaders in the senate to seek to move the bill forward.

Billed as the 'Rally in the Valley' the president is slated to speak at 7 pm at the Covelli Centre with doors opening at 4 pm, organizers said.

Activists and Democratic leaders will host an anti-Trump demonstration in the city's Central Square some six blocks from where the president will speak.

The Mahoning County Democratic Party is led by chairman David Betras.

Though U.S senate seats can go either way, the county leans Democratic in presidential elections and the last time voters there voted for a Republican president was in 1972 when Richard Nixon won the White House.

Youngstown is located on the Mahoning river and is 60 miles southeast of Cleveland. It has a population of some 64,000 people and is 45 percent Black.

A third of Youngstown residents have Obamacare insurance under the Affordable Care Act, former president Barack Obama's signature universal heath care initiative that Trump and GOP senate leaders, namely Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky and House Speaker Paul Ryan of Wisconsin, among others, want repealed and replaced with the GOP version dubbed the American Health Care Act of 2017.

A Washington Post poll released last Sunday says Americans prefer Obamacare by a 2-1 margin and as support of the legislation increases Trump's approval rating is decreasing, having dropped from 42 percent in April to 36 percent as he approaches the six months mark since he took office in January.

McConnell has said that repealing and not replacing Obamacare is also acceptable to him, a stance taken in recent weeks as the bill remains mired in controversy.

To date Republicans lack the votes to either repeal or replace Obamacare.

Democrats and some eight to 10 GOP senators, including Rand Paul of Kentucky, Mike Lee of Utah and Jerry Moran of Kansas, would not endorse the bill.

Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer of New York says the GOP heathcare bill, which political pundits say is headed for failure, will "result in higher costs, less care, and millions of Americans will lose their heath care."

Republican leaders say the GOP bill is the best substitute to what they say are the ills of Obamacare. including the annual tax penalty against Americans who are not insured.
