Cleveland City Council leadership has not shown any meaningful desire to engage on the merits of their maps. I have numerous concerns with the lines, only a few of which are outlined here. 1/4

I suspect that Council wouldn't be taking this approach if they weren't certain they had the votes to approve the map this week or next. But that cannot be the end of the story, or 2033 will look very similar—with political power winning out over our residents and neighborhoods.

Seems like this is likely the answer to the Old Brooklyn question, at least!

@ahnbrand This seems to me to be entirely about the new development going in there - https://t.co/PUxgA45uM5

Well, those wards.

As I said on Channel 5 last night (clip below in thread), transparency does not guarantee good results, so if Council leadership is serious that they are taking feedback but not planning to make major changes, there are no protections for Clevelanders. 1/24

Again, if you share any of these concerns or have your own, I urge you to let Council know by:
- Leaving a voicemail at [phone]
- Emailing [email protected]
- Submitting online public comment on the City Council website
