We could build affordable housing.

Tax surcharges on tickets and concessions largely fall on team owners, as these reduce their ability to hike prices as much as they would otherwise — it remains to be seen if Cleveland can impose them to pay for Guardians and Cavs costs, but worth a shot. https://t.co/JJxzMx72g4

Ohio renters need to earn at least $22.51/hr just to afford a modest 2BR apartment.

Rents are rising faster than renters’ income. For ex. wages for home health aides increased $3.34 while the 2-BR Housing Wage rose $6.52 during the past five years. #OOR25

You’re in the majority, Jason.

Insane that Cleveland gives tax abatement to $949,900 luxury homes.

Haslam’s domed stadium plan is an architectural and cultural failure.

What would the map of Ohio look like from the perspective of indigenous peoples?

No one should fall for these lies. All credible economic studies show stadiums are bad public investments.

Cuyahoga County reacts to the Browns' impact study. (Football puns will be banned after the first of the year, so get them in now.)

@njKaitlinDurbin Make the teams and fans pay. There’s no economic reason for taxpayers to subsidize professional sports.

Plain Dealer Editorial
End the shameful secrecy and punitive motives driving City Council redistricting
Reveal the current draft maps immediately, so Clevelanders have a chance to see them for themselves and comment on them now, before they’re finalized.

[Field of Schemes @fieldofschemes]

And this isn't likely to be the end of it: There's another ask for another $30m in potential Gateway spending around the corner, and unless construction costs come down or Clevelanders start smoking more, likely more budget gaps to fill beyond that. https://t.co/g7mHTq1ypD

Come and share your ideas about the issues we want Cleveland City Council candidates to support in 2025.

Got fair maps?
