Cleveland forces residents to pay $20 million for stadium bills. When do wealthy team owners stop bleeding the taxpayers? Today in OhioCLEVELAND, Ohio - Cleveland City Council voted Monday to pay $20 million to Gateway for improvements to Progressive Field and Rocket Mortgage Fieldhouse.
We speculated on Monday’s episode that one reason Mike DeWine might be signing bills like the one blocking transgender people from using bathrooms is that he wants his pet project – the overhaul of the state fairgrounds – to continue to get big bucks from the Legislature. Coincidentally, it got some cash Monday afternoon. Who approved it?
While Dee and Jimmy Haslam try to stiff the public for $1.2 billion for their fantasy of a domed stadium, we still have bills to pay for existing sports facilities in Cleveland. How does Cleveland propose to meet its latest $20 million obligation? Ohio’s Republican lawmakers disdain the Democratic cities and are about to slam them with a huge bill: Today in OhioIt’s a Tuesday on Today in Ohio, the news podcast discussion from cleveland.com and The Plain Dealer. Our friends in Ashtabula County are still digging out of snow and more is coming. This has been an interesting beginning to December. I’m Chris Quinn here with Leila Atassi, Laura Johnston and Lisa Garvin. And let’s begin with Leila.
And if they go in and they say anything here that’s going to get them in trouble with the incoming administration, things could get worse. They’re hedging their bets to see what will be expected of us in the future administration. I don’t think Trump is somebody that favors spreading people’s medical information in a credit report. My bet is he would argue strongly against that. So I’m not sure.
Coincidentally, it got some cash Monday afternoon. We say it wasn’t for his big legacy project, but it’s still some serious cash for the state fairgrounds. What is it?Yeah, the Ohio Expositions Commission, which kind of oversees the Ohio State Fair, asked for a $2.5 million increase for the state fair budget that would increase their total operating expenses to $19.1 million if approved, and it was approved by the Ohio Controlling Board yesterday.
They impressed the county with a variety of meal options that fit their budget and a strong plan for oversight and even potential plans to feed jail staff in the future. The other bidders included, well, of course, Edwins, but also Trinity, who I’m surprised they even bothered. But they both fell short. Trinity’s issues with low quality food and their skyrocketing commissary prices were really well documented by reporter Caitlin Durbin. So scratch them off the list.
wouldn’t know if someone’s got indigestion or having a heart attack. And they can’t decide, so they transport them to the emergency room at Metro Health. And that ends up really expensive for the taxpayers. So evenings and weekends are when the majority of these transports are occurring. So this will cut down on that. They’re also tracking the types of service that they’re getting.
The very lowest turnout since 1980 was in 2000. Only about 63.7 % of people voted. This was George W Bush versus Al Gore. And then Bush carried Ohio in that elections. So now Ohio elections officials have to do a formal audit of the results. They have to compare the count of hard copy ballots and the electronic counts to make sure they’re squared up. LaRose says, this is kind of funny.
while Cleveland struggles to meet its basic needs. The funding is required though under lease agreements that were made in 2017 and 2021, which mandate public funding for major repairs. Historically, these costs were covered by the county syntax on alcohol and cigarettes, but inflation has driven up repair costs while syntax revenues have really stagnated. And that’s forced the city and the county to make up the difference.
