East Cleveland Tattlers ongoing investigation
and review of public records tied to the secret and
fraudulent agreement Cleveland Clinic CEO &
President Delos Toby Cosgrove signed with
Mayor Gary Norton without any public meetings
or discussions confirms that East Clevelands
council president and vice president had written
letters demanding answers and requesting a
special meeting to discuss rumors that the mayor
had struck an agreement in violation of a
resolution which said the city did not support
Huron Hospitals scheduled closing.
The letters confirm that language in the June
29, 2011 agreement Cosgrove and Norton signed
which claimed that East Cleveland and its
officers supported the deal theyd cut was an
outright, fraudulent lie.
Records show that on June 21, 2011 council
unanimously approved a resolution expressing
the citys lack of support for Cleveland Clinics
plan to close Huron Hospital, which effectively

Newly-appointed Ward 4 councilman
Mansell Baker came out swinging against
Mayor Gary Nortons wasteful
spending habits and outright
violation of a resolution
council passed in 2008 that did
not authorize city vehicles to be
taken home without council
approval as gas costs exceeded
$3 a gallon, and when the
mayor was council pesident.
Baker said employees like
Collette Clinkscales, cop James Mansell Baker
Ruth and others are not using
the vehicles for city business when they take
them home and do not have council approval
regardless of Nortons unlawful authorization
for them to do so. Baker has assumed control
over the health and safety committee and said
he plans to use it to investigate abuses and hold
offending employees accountable.
