When will we get Northeast Ohio leaders who can end this? New Fed report shows we lag the nation -- yet again: Today in OhioCLEVELAND, Ohio - The Cleveland metropolitan area is among the worst for job growth since the pandemic in the United States.
Ohio Attorney General is taking on a gypsum mining company for what he says is staggering damage its operations did/ Who is it, and what happened? It’s a question many are wondering about: Why have the bright lights at Progressive Field been on every night this winter. They’re not paying baseball there, after all.
Downtown Cleveland proponents have argued for a few years that the city’s recovery from the pandemic is as good or better than other regions. We’re talking the region, not just downtown. A new report from the Federal Serve clearly says otherwise we kind of stink again like we long have. It’s a chronic malaise of Cleveland.
What this is, this is hard numbers. You cannot debate this, you can’t spin it. But remember when the Canadian organization was putting out studies based on cell phone locations that said downtown Cleveland is a loser, that other cities are doing far better in the recovery and everybody here whined and said, no, we’re being measured wrong and they changed the map around to make it look better. That was all nonsense, right? Because this shows it compared to other cities.
But they squandered their ARPA money in a bunch of nonsense. I Layla pointed out not long ago that this was probably a bad program because of the way the money was used. It increased inflation and it was a bunch of pet projects that feathered people’s nests. If we would have focused that saying, we got to get younger people to move here. We got to make this place attractive. We could have done it, but everybody did their own little thing. County council did their little thing.
Senate Bill 58 prohibits any government body in Ohio from requiring residents to pay a fee to own a firearm or knife or to obtain liability insurance in order to own a firearm. No city here has tried that. It’s happened in California and Teresa Gavarone and state Senator Terry Johnson don’t want it to happen here. So they put this in place.The one element of this that I think gun owners would care a great deal about is the prohibition of requiring registries.
giving the state a heads up now and then about hazardous conditions. Finally, in 2000, they filed paperwork again without telling the state, saying that they are done monitoring the mines in addition to being done maintaining them. So fast forward to 2013 and the Ohio Department of Transportation had to step in to inject grout into the flooded mines. And that cost taxpayers about $20 million. Now Yost is saying enough is enough. He wants USG to pay back 16.8 million of that.
dollars and this is income that’s reported from the same address so usually two or more related people so they’re doing bad in two measures hereBut we’ve pointed out that if you turned the county of Cuyahoga into the city of Cleveland, if we wiped out all those boundaries and just made each city its own neighborhood kind of thing, that we would be one of the most economically powerful cities in America with our GDP and everything else.
We need all hands on deck and he’s absolutely right. The hope here is that this funding will breathe new life into these organizations and provide critical resources for renters who often fall through the cracks.When it does fit the use of that money, that money was put together to help cities emerge from the pandemic. And we know that housing became a critical issue as a result of the pandemic.
