Cleveland Legend Ron Newell in a local TV interview from last summer.

I had the honor of sharing the stage with Ron two years ago.

I'll never forget him, or my favorite quote from him:

"You know how I work!"

Yes we did.

Can someone tell me how Cheryl Wiltshire beat W. Mona Scott?

The pre-election interview showed a very stark division in knowledge.

Since national analysts are, (as usual) ignoring #Ohio, local journalism from @signalcleveland.bsky.social is doing some good reporting on #gerrymandering in the Ohio Statehouse illegal MAGA Supermajority.

At first, I mistakenly believed the drive to remove property taxes in Ohio was an effort to reform them.

It is not. It is a stupid simplistic effort which if passed, will result in a situation that will create a much less progressive and complicated tax structure.

I'm cool with the Haslams tearing down the Lakefront Stadium.

Too bad it will be done with our money.

Happy their giant parking lots will be out by the airport where they belong.

This is all 'good' news for the city. The Lake is so much more important.
