Strongsville City Councilman Patrick Coyne placed on paid leave from job at coroner's office

CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Strongsville City Councilman Patrick Coyne was placed on paid leave Monday from his $120,000-a-year job at the Cuyahoga County Coroner's Office.

The move came three days after Hinckley real estate developer David T. Terry pleaded guilty to bribing Coyne with $20,000 two years ago. Coyne, however, has not been charged with a crime.

The hits just keep on comming. The sixth most populous county in the country continues to be rocked by the ongoing revelations of systematic corruption in the ruling Democrat Party.

This marks a further connection to the top law enforcement official in 'Crooked' County Prosecutor Bill Mason. The embattled Democrat Party has scene over 3 dozen people plead guilty and cut deals with Federal Prosecutors. The largest fish so far Auditor Frank Russo and County Commisioner Jimmy Dimora where indicted within the last couple weeks. Two Democrat Common Please Court Judges, including one appointed by Democrat Governoer Ted Strickland, where indicted with Dimora.

Audiotor Russo plead guilty to dozens of charges last week and will be scentanced to a plea agreement of 21 years in Federal Prison in December and start serving his scentance in March. Jimmy 'DA Hut' Dimora has plead not quilty to more than two dozen charges of theft in office and bribery and faces decades in prison if convicted.

Prosecutor Mason along with the other the other two Commisioners are identified in the investigation, Commisioner Peter Lawson-Jones (Peter Useless-Jones) and Commisioner Taxin' Tim Hagen ( A shirt tail Kennedy relative, Yes Those Kennedy's), are under the gun as they are believed to have either been in cahoots with Dimora or his unwitting pawns in rigging bids,approving overages and taking bribes for jobs and favors over their course of decades of control of the County.

Stay tuned for more scintalating details. It is estimated that 100 - 300 people may be indicted in the ongoing investigation in the LARGEST LOCAL CORRUPTION CASE IN U.S. History......

He has a job as personnel Director at the County. It pays $120K a year. He is an at large Councilman for the suburb of Strongsville and that pays $20K a year for a dozen meetings of less than 2 hours each month. He is also collecting a Sate pension as a retired director in the prosecutors office, said pension is estimated between $120 to $140K per year.

Guy is a money machine. All for less than forty hours a week!

He is the Director of HR AT THE Coroners office. It is basically a make work job. However, he finds people work at the coroners office, or at the Prosecutors office(his former POE). He finds them for a price.

Have an idiot son-in-law, brother, nephew , or sister that needs work and you have dealings with the county. $5, or $10k and the idiot has a no work job punching a clock and a cot at the coroners back room for $35 - $60K plus benefits. $15, or $20k and he has a no show job paying $40 to $80K a year without even going to the office on a daily basis.

It is called influence peddling and it is what the Democrat Party is best at, at every level. It is just that a Republican hasn't held a County wide office in Cuyahoga County in almost half a century. That kind of inbreeding causes massive corruption.
