The headlines should be screaming "Millions of Americans duped again". Axelrod and the Chicago gang ran one of the sleaziest campaigns ever defining Romney as something he was not. What is the definition of insanity? Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result.

Mayor Hruby Encourages Voters to Support Brecksville-Broadview Heights Schools’ Renewal Levy

Mayor Jerry N. Hruby explains why he supports the renewal levy.

The following letter was submitted by Mayor Jerry N. Hruby’s office to Brecksville Patch. I was a member of the first Kindergarten class at Highland School when it first opened, a member of the first class that attended Highland Elementary K through 6. I graduated from Brecksville High in 1966. My two brothers and I attended a combined 40 years (1946-1966). The three of us received outstanding educations and non academic programs that enriched us and prepared us for all that we have experienced and accomplished during our lives. I recall we all were very proud of our school system and enjoyed the fact that its reputation was one of excellence, our programs exceptional and the teachers well respected and admired. I remember many of the …

Support for the school levey is good no matter how no matter what. I don't want to live in a city with a lot of turmoil. I like Friday night football a lot. I pay money to go to a peaceful place for vacation. I will pay money to keep the peace where I live. We are not cheap.   more ›
