This month's April Cleveland Magazine, for once, features some of the folks that make CLEVELAND... That's right, folks ... in the CITY, not the region, not the suburbs, but CLEVELAND...great. One of those people is Mitch Paul of Shaker Cycles.
Art of the dealSubmitted by lmcshane on Thu, 04/02/2009 - 07:05.
Yesterday's daily ethical transgression--Lottery Director Dolan's distribution of tickets to a state trooper--was discussed and my sister, the artist, referred me to the work of Mark Lombardi. It's how conflict of interest makes for slippery slopes. I hope that I don't offend any of the wrong people by mentioning the reference.

Chagrin HighlandsSubmitted by lmcshane on Sun, 03/01/2009 - 09:53.
In the late 1990s, then Mayor Michael White butted heads with developer Richard Jacobs, when it was discovered that Jacobs was the shadow player in the Figgie International development team. Taxpayers footed the bill for the Harvard Ave. interchange that serves the Chagrin Highlands development, just as the taxpayers also funded the Avon interchange that also benefited Jacob Group.

A lot of folks will want to further write off downtown Cleveland after the recent violent shootings of two Clinic employees. The violence can happen anywhere. It's time that we looked harder at ourselves.

Ohio City ArgusSubmitted by lmcshane on Tue, 02/03/2009 - 09:33.
Ohio City Near West Development Corporation is launching a new on line publication Ohio City Argus via the Observer news service (with print installments). This is a throw-back to a publication that served the City of Ohio City (yes, before it joined Cleveland after a little war). The previous Ohio City publication is described as Notes: Published on Thursday. "Whiggish in its tendencies but not very partisan."

Last year, my sister and I went to Puerto Rico to find some sun. We had a great time and the weather was perfect. Yesterday, Cleveland had perfect weather, too. It is a matter of luck and how you look at the world. This is Cleveland, too. (Heroin addicts lined up for clean syringes in Old San Juan :(

Good afternoon. Today, I delivered the City of Cleveland ’s 2009 operating budget to Cleveland City Council. For the fourth year, I am proposing a balanced budget without layoffs or reductions in service delivery. However, in these hard economic times, I pledge to you that I will remain vigilant and that my Administration will continue to seek efficiencies, reduce cost, increase economic development and raise revenue. Please click here to find out more about this year’s proposed budget.
