398 Regular Council Meeting 12/18/95 Page Eight Mr. Flynn said he has to oppose this resolution for a number of reasons: one of the members is Arnold Pinkney and if he is not mistaken, Mr. Pinkney was in trouble within the last 5 or 10 years. Mr. Flynn said he does not feel the suburbs should be contributing to the City of Cleveland, the Browns, etc. A lot of people that do not have loges, etc. have been blacked out from a lot of games when they have been close to 80,000 people. He has a problem with a resolution giving $1,000 of taxpayers money to this particular organization. Mr. Buckholtz said he shared the stage yesterday with the Mayor, Mr. Pinkney and Mr. Weingart and from that perspective, there were well over 5,000 people there--he would have to say many of whom were not residents of the City of Cleveland, but the Greater Cleveland area. Mr. Buckholtz said when you listened to the speeches and you saw the response from the people--it is really something that is impacting a larger area. We like to get the support from the people in Cleveland when we need it; he thinks it is a good reciprocal move.
