Thanks to a Lake County source for sending us the following information about donations received by the Committee for Candidate Jerry Cirino.

Senator Cirino is the Chairman on the Senate Finance Committee.

The State of Ohio Governor granted the Cleveland Browns $600 million of Ohio’s unclaimed funds, and Senator Cirino was in favor of the gift to the Brown;s owner JImmy Haslam.

Transparency is a key to good governance.

Here is a link to Jerry’s campaign finances. He has certainly moved up the “food chain” from his days a Lake County Commissioner. We wonder if he is still kicking average citizens out of meetings to show his power?
