Outraged Cleveland Man Says State Government Should Spread Sunshine More Evenly Across State

As a slight drizzle fell, an angry man in downtown Cleveland told passers-by the state government should take action to spread sunshine more evenly across the state.

“How many sunny days do we get in Cleveland every year?” he said loudly to a woman pushing a stroller. “Six? Seven? It’s outrageous that Cincinnati, Columbus and even Toledo get more sunshine than Cleveland. Something should be done.”

He wore a sign around his neck that said “SPREAD THE SUNSHINE ACROSS THE STATE EVENLY.” He said, “Look, I have nothing against these other cities, but Cleveland is the biggest and most well known city in the state. It’s not fair that we get less than one week of sunshine and Columbus barely has snow. I urge you to write your state representative and support State Bill 450012 – Ohio Sunshine Reapportionment.”

Four or five people held their umbrellas awkwardly against their body with their arm to free up both hands to quietly applaud.
