Ed Morrison · Jimmy Dimora’s confusion
July 2nd, 2009
The recent press conference by Jimmy Dimora underscores a confusion that is running through his mind.
Dimora brought forth no evidence that anyone is interfering with his legal rights as a prospective defendant. We can assume he was referring these rights when he spoke the rights “our forefathers fought for”.
At the same time, as an elected official, Dimora has a set of obligations which run to the people of Cuyahoga County. The Plain Dealer and others have called into question whether Dimora has met these obligations.
One of the clearest expressions of these obligations appears in the Fundamental Orders of Connecticut. In the spring of 1638, representatives from three Connecticut towns met to draft what amounts to the first constitution to create a government in the New World.
Adopted in January 1639, the Fundamental Orders set forth an obligation to create and maintain “an orderly and decent Government”.
By this standard, Dimora, Hagan and Jones have failed miserably.
No citizen of Cuyahoga County needs a court of law to reach this conclusion.
