And so it begins re: Councilman Jones.
The Cuyahoga County Democratic Party is moving to (almost assuredly) strip Jones of their endorsement.
Could open a lane for State Rep. @juanita_brent to become the party’s standard-bearer in the Ward 1 race.

@afscme.bsky.social Could this be a reason the OOD probationary employee had his ODOT job rescinded?
Before considering taking a job at Opportunities for Ohioans with Disabilities as a Social Security disability claims processor, please consider the following exchanges between a former employee and HR.

@afscme.bsky.social Also related to the probationary employee's attempts to move to another agency. Note the comment from Esker asking if there was anything that would prevent him from transferring.
Hmmm, now another HR lackey is taking the time to inform deputy director that an employee is leaving for another agency AND happens to mention that the contact for the job is the wife of an OOD employee. He asks if there's anything that might prevent him from transferring, innocently of course.

The Ohio AG's complaint search needs some work. Trying to research veterinarians required entering a known name, Medvet, then looking at the area of business that it was under. You'd think veterinarian, but nope, breeder/pet/kennels. And none were offered as an option at the search start!

This is alarming: The highest career official at Treasury is leaving after a clash w/Elon Musk allies over access to sensitive payment systems.
Those payment systems distribute ~$6 trillion in US gov't payments.
Only a few people are supposed to have access to that payment system.
