Police called on 12-year-old mowing grass which ends up getting him more business
A boy in Maple Heights is running his own business this summer cutting lawns and cleaning up yards.
Reginald Fields, 12, is the owner of Mr. Reggie's Lawn Cutting Service. With several helping hands from his cousins, brothers and sisters, they are up with the sun every day working the neighborhood.
That's what they were doing when someone called Maple Heights police on them.
"They said I was cutting their grass. I didn't know it!" Reggie said.

HHS official to abortion opponents: 'We're just getting started'
For the first time in recent memory, an official from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services spoke at a conference of the nations largest anti-abortion organization.
Our president is fearless when it comes to life and conscience, said Roger Severino, who directs the Health and Human Services Office for Civil Rights. Were just getting started. Severino was a featured speaker at the National Right to Life convention Thursday in Overland Park.

The Department of Health and Human Services drew both praise and criticism in January when the Trump Administration created a new conscience and religious freedom division of the office of civil rights and proposed regulations to protect health care workers who dont want to perform abortions or other services because of their religious or moral beliefs.
The departments strategic plan also now includes language that says, A core component of the HHS mission is the dedication to serve all Americans from conception to natural death.

Jim Acosta might need a security detail more than Sarah Sanders does.
Maxine Waters received a death threat, and Jim Acosta was harassed by the crowd at a Trump rally. The only thing that seems to have happened to Sarah is that she had to get into a car and look for a different restaurant.

Here's what's buried beneath that FBI report: How rogue agents sabotaged the Clinton campaign
Digby's take on the IG report.
"A cabal of FBI agents in the New York office loyal to Rudy Giuliani apparently hectored their bosses, leaked to the press and urged former agents to go on television to put the Department of Justice and the FBI under pressure to act harshly against Hillary Clinton, even when if was outside the norms, rules and laws of the department. They were successful beyond their wildest dreams."
