Today's PD is reporting that D-A-S Construction CEO Steve Pumper is singing. Russo's attorney, Richard Lillie, claims there was no quid pro quo. But as Valdis Krebs has shown here and here, there are ways around direct quid pro quo.
The question percolating in my mind today, in addition to when will we learn more, is what kind of long-term impact this will have on important county services that residents depend on—MetroHealth Medical Center, Board of Mental Retardation/Developmental Disability, Children and Family Services and Support Enforcement Agency. Cuyahoga County residents, dwindling in numbers, are not going to support tax increases without some serious changes in how government is delivered and held accountable.
Yesterday's reporting focused primarily on the scope of the search warrants executed. Now it's time to look deeper into the fallout from this public corruption.
The Sound of Ideas will be discussing shortly.

My guess is these guys will go "on leave" and someone will be appointed to take their jobs temporarily ... do not know who will do this or how. Could be a big fight...
It will be interesting to watch, but not pleasant to live through. As a network analyst I am fascinated, as a citizen I am bummed.
P.S. Thanks for the links!
