some rather disturbing speeches about being banned at the Galleria Erieview Tower. I was wrongly accused of restroom misconduct. Recently I just found out that I am no longer banned at the Galleria at Erieview Tower. I attended some city council committee meetings about the Erieview Tower. At these committee meetings I met an agent who represents the owner of the Erieview Tower. The agent told me that I am no longer banned at the Galleria Erieview Tower. However I still can't enter the Galleria because of the upcoming construction project, which is about ready to begin. In recent times, the Cs have been pushing most of the public out of the Galleria because of the upcoming construction project. Once again, in recent times the Cs have been pushing most of the public out of the Galleria because of the upcoming construction project. Currently the Galleria is hardly open to the public because of the construction project that looms. After the construction is over the public will be free to enter and I'll be free to enter once again. After the construction is over the public will be free to enter and I'll be free to enter. Aaccording to the agent who represents the CS I am no longer banned at the Galleria and Erieview Tower. Again I am no longer banned at the Galleria and Erieview Tower. However I do need to pardon their dust for a while. My name is Stephen.

Good evening. I want to take a moment to thank council member Jenny Spencer for her admirable service on City Council. She has led Ward 15 with honesty, integrity, and has shown true courage and going against the status quo, including by not following what has become the customary practice of appointing a successor, which will allow for a more competitive race in electing our next council person. Although I am still holding out hope that she will reconsider, I wish her the absolute best in whatever direction life takes her.

With only one more city council meeting left after tonight before the end of the year, I want to talk about redistricting in the new ward maps that have yet to be released to the public or even seen by many of you. As speakers from last week's public comment articulated, the process for drawing these maps leaves a lot to be desired. First and foremost, the public should actually get to see proposed maps and be given the opportunity to comment and provide feedback on them before they are voted on. Releasing them and voting on them the very same day or even the same week is not going to cut it. The city deserves better and we need to see those maps. I also want to address the very serious charges that have been brought against Chairman Fahiem of New Era. Charges that could result in sending an innocent man, a father, to prison. For much of 2024, members of our group have been coming to City Council meetings, first regarding Cudell Park, and more recently, a gas station that was to be built immediately next to Cudell Park. In that time we've gotten to know, we've met and gotten to know, Chairman Fahiem and have seen for ourselves the work he and New Era do for this city, not for money or power, but because they love the city and more importantly the people who live in it. We've also had several interactions with the gas station owner and his associates who brought these charges against Fahiem, because it's the same owner who is planning to build the gas station we've been protesting. As a reminder, this is the group who manipulated public comment and had people who work for them sign up to speak as if they were concerned members of the community. This group also cursed at, threatened, and made other attempts at intimidating us, including here inside City Hall. For us, the idea that these people are the innocent victims and the man promoting peace and community is guilty of some sort of crime isn't just hard to believe, it's downright absurd, and so I want to remind all of you public officials elected and appointed, we the people are watching and we the people expect justice and accountability.

anyone I address the Lan city council to the council president um good evening councilen today I will talk about how to solve the poverty and homeless problem in this city justly there use a YouTube video entitled all states are empires of economic lies in it the speaker says that lies are most often found in history economics and law solving the problem of poverty is ultimately a matter matter of Truth in economics and law the causes should be apparent enough sometimes a person does not succeed economically he has quote bad luck unquote when it comes to any job he doesn't get the wages that would be sufficient for him to live comfortably or perhaps at all perhaps the person is disabled and isn't able to be employed somehow the question to be answered is what rights does the person in need of employment have the answers should be apparent enough in the Ohio Constitution it specifies the rights to life safety and acquiring and possessing property among others uh what does it mean to have the right to life it means that a person in need has the right to expect that those with means provide for his Necessities that will ward off death so for example a person who is incapacitated has the right to medical treatment and basic sustenance obviously in this particular case it is impossible for this person to earn a living as such the duty of care lays with the person's relatives and in The Last Resort the government there is a right which appears to be not recognized by judges and attorneys nowadays apparently they have never heard of it it is the right to earn a living this is a natural right and another formulation is the right to acquire and possess productive property basically it is the right to a job with Reon reasonable working conditions in pay as such there is a duty for employers to hire an unemployed person under just terms the major terms typically would be reasonable hours and reasonable wages the wage portion depends on the needs of the household of the worker So a family has the right to a family wage while an individual has a right to an individual wage any person with basic Financial understanding should know that finances are a matter of balancing income against expenses so a poor person either has has either a too low income or too high expenses it is the fraud of freedom of contract that causes this situation morality requires both just prices and a just wage but a just wage will take into account the just prices a just wage is not abstract and impersonal one lie or error that is believed by many is that rent is just strictly speaking it is the crime of extortion uh it is the sin of Usery which is a sin against Justice and I plan to continue thank
