I love the fact that the Maple Heights African American Gazette is online. At last African Americans who live in Maple Heights have a voice. They cannot be ignored.
Most egregious - African American women have no real voice in Maple Heights government. Those women who speak the loudest are ridiculed, disrespected, and spoken to in a condescending manner.
Bear witness - This is to all politicians and other public servants who work in Maple Heights. Harassment of residents, failure to respond to requests/questions for Maple Heights public records and Maple Heights public information (and other actions that violate the terms of your employment agreement or violate the law) may be reported on the Maple Heights African American Gazette (and so I don't have to write that long word, MHAAG will be the short form).
If anyone has a question to ask a Maple Heights public servant that concerns Maple Heights public information, ask it here. If you would like a Maple Heights public record, ask for it here. Your request will be posted on the REQUESTS FOR MAPLE HEIGHTS GOVERNMENT PUBLIC DOCUMENTS AND PUBLIC INFORMATION page from this point on. You can even leave the question or request for public records in the comment section of the page.
I, personally am sick and tired of these politicians and other high paid public servants refusal to answer questions about their job, Maple Heights public information; or refusal to provide Maple Heights public records. We pay them. We are their boss.
From this point on, any questions asked will be published on the request page, and all answers to those questions will be published on the request page. If the public servant does not answer or refuses to answer, a "no response" next to the employee's name, will be published on the REQUESTS FOR MAPLE HEIGHTS GOVERNMENT PUBLIC DOCUMENTS AND PUBLIC INFORMATION page.
If it is seen that a public servant has refused to answer questions or provide public records that they should provide, or has interfered with this process, there will be a request for that public servant to step down from office or be asked to resign from office.
Note: Anyone can ask for a Maple Hts government public record, and they can do it anonymously, or have someone else ask for them (and even pick up the documents for them). I would start by asking your elected council person for that information. If they refuse to provide it, let us know and we will ask your representative why they refused, and we will post their response on the request page. Personally, if your council person refuses to provide information that you requested regarding Maple Heights government, property belonging to Maple Heights, contractors working for Maple Heights, information about Maple Heights public employees (that is allowed under Ohio Sunshine laws), and information allowed under Ohio Sunshine laws, I would think about asking them to step down from office, but I would definitely not vote for them (my opinion).
