The real work for a convention center/medical mart in Cuyahoga County now begins - cleveland.com -- Maybe I'm just a curmudgeon and a holdout for specificity and forthright behavior and plain talk, but contrary to what this article says, the public financing is still unclear. The resolutions no. 73101 and 73102 still state that the proceeds of the increased sales tax of one and one-fourth percent go to the general fund, and there is no earmarking that I can find anywhere.
This whole project seems to be a massive hoax perpetrated upon a needy public just ready to get whipped into hysteria. I cannot see how the PD writer (oddly enough, the article I linked to is not attributed to anybody) can state, with such assurance, "So the public financing is clear, but many other crucial questions about the project remain unresolved." Of course, perhaps it's merely that I am too dense to understand, like most of the other voters, and that's why the two commissioners had to decide this for us.
Read the resolution language again for yourselves:

This tax hike, for lack of a better word - makes me want to puke. Hopefully enough people stay engaged enough to show Hagan and Mccormick the door next year. I'm they will walk into 6 figure salaries working a sleeper job for one of the many private entreprises that received windfalls from these losers.
ReplyDeleteJust don't mess up your shoes; you need to be presentable as we hit the streets again soon. I think we need to be making sure everybody who can qualify is signed up for the new Homestead Tax exemption as soon as possible. Let's accelerate the perk in Cuyahoga County.
