WHAT POLITICAL PARTY HAS THE POWER?

I have several questions to ask.
 
 
1. What political party controls the Ohio Senate, the Ohio House and the US House of Representatives?
 
 
2. What political party (in the above) has the majority to pass legislation and make cuts to programs, cities, etc?
 
 
I hope you said the Republican Party 
 
 
Here's the stats:
Ohio House
Latest voting shares:  Republicans 60.6%, Democrats 39.4%
 
Ohio Senate:
Latest voting shares: Republicans 69.7%,  Democrats 30.3%
 
US House of Representatives
Republicans 233 Democrats 199

 
 
You've got  some politicians   in Maple Hts and other individuals running around pointing fingers at Black Democrats for some of the financial woes in Maple Hts.
 

 
Look at the figures  (above) and tell me what political party has the power (the voting majority)? 
 
 
Clearly it's not Democrats [which also means it's not  Black Democrats] in the Ohio House, the Ohio Senate or the US House of Representatives.


Why aren't Maple Heights politicians and others asking for help from the politicians [Republicans] who have the power to perhaps do something?  Sounds like a good question, ... right? Maybe they did.  Don't know .. ask them.

 
 
Okay, now that we know what political party has the majority of the votes to perhaps do something to help Maple Heights financial problems, what are the real motives of Maple Heights politicians and others for pointing fingers at Black Democrats in those seats who don't have the majority voting shares?  Then you tell me how you feel about those people who pointed the fingers.
 
 
 


For clarity: Maple Heights has far more complex reasons for its financial woes than just some government cuts.

Simple ... to mislead people into thinking Black politicians are to blame for the financial woes in Maple Hts government.

Lets get real. Maple Hts politicians and Maple Heights leadership bears most of the responsibility for the financial dilemma Maple Hts is in.

They made some decisions that helped create the financial crisis in Maple Hts.

Maybe they're secretly working for the Republican Party.

Especially in regards to John Husted. Burn Nina and Husted stays as secretary of state.

And then there goes a lot of our voting rights.

We're very much aware of who is going around pointing fingers at Marcia Fudge, Nina Turner and John Barnes.

Mayor Jeffrey Lansky is one of those people pointing fingers.

Why aren't these politicians in Maple Hts and others, flocking to Columbus and getting on their knees and begging Republicans to help them?

Cause it's easier to blame Black Democrats and get away with it.

The people pointing fingers at Black Democrats prey on the ignorance and prejudices of others.

We need to make sure more and more Black Democrats are put in office so they so have the power.
