Up in the Sky! It’s a Politician, It’s a Labor Leader, It’s Super Delegate!

Hopefully you don’t rely on MyFriendCleveland for all your political news, because during our recent hiatus (I was on safari in Southern Ohio, shit’s wild) Hillary Clinton won the Ohio primary by more than 200,000 votes. But, The Plain Dealer is quick to point out that much like the presidential election, the popular vote doesn’t always equal the end result. See, each state has super delegates whose votes account for the result of the primary. In Ohio there are 21 super delegates and so far the 8 who have voted have been split: 4 for Clinton, 4 for Obama. That means 13 super delegate votes are still up for grabs. Still, as The Plain Dealer reports, super delegates often follow the popular vote for their area in order to represent the people. And yes, you must wear a cape when placing this kind of vote.

The Water Main may have Stopped Flowing, but the Green Beer Won’t

Yesterday’s water main break in Public Square may be a little worse than first imagined. The city is claiming that it will now take about three weeks to fix all the damage and that travel near Public Square should be avoided. Luckily Channel 3 went after city officials with the hard shit as usual and discovered that St. Patrick’s Day events, including the parade, will not be affected by the recent damage. What does this mean? Well the 25 people who were planning on going downtown that day can still do so. I could go for a beer right about now.

Zach Reed Tries Hard to Prove He Does More than Just Drink

Everybody’s favorite alcoholic Councilman is back in the news! Wait, what’s this? Reed isn’t partying with co-eds on West 6th or passing out in his car? Nope, he is arguing that Cuyahoga County should not have been able to impose a sales tax in order to raise money for a medical mart without the approval of residents. Wait to go, Zach! It looks like the drunken haze has faded and you remembered you were a politician.
