blogsCLEVELANDER BILL GUNLOCKE HAS SOMETHING TO SAY - LISTEN N.Y.Submitted by Roldo on Thu, 11/12/2009 - 16:51.
Clevelanders over the years have taken over the Yankees, the Knicks, the Nets, the Rangers, Madison Square Garden. If sports, why not the book industry. Well, not quite that ambitious but Bill Gunlocke who gave Cleveland the alternative paper The Edition, has started a blog and wonders if New York City is really a Book City.

IT'S FAIR TAXES FOR HONEST CITY REVENUE, STUPIDSubmitted by Roldo on Thu, 11/12/2009 - 14:08.
I haven’t read the 300 page plus consulting report on management and efficiency of Cleveland government and I probably won’t. I leave it to others. I know it won’t touch the one revenue source that Cleveland should tap if it had any concern for its citizens. It is out of the question. Won’t happen.

The link between obesity and the commiserable US minimum wageSubmitted by Eternity on Thu, 11/12/2009 - 12:48.
Max Eternity - Measured in 2008 dollars, in 1968 the minimum wage was $9.15, and it is for this reason two economist--David O. Meltzer and Zhuo Chen--have authored a paper entitled "The Impact of Minimum Wage Rates on Body Weight in the United States" making the case that at least 10% of the overall obesity increase in America comes as a direct result of last wages over the past 30 years. The summary for the paper states:

Song of the Day: "Wish You Were Here" - Pink FloydSubmitted by Norm Roulet on Wed, 11/11/2009 - 23:09.
In two days, November 14, it will be a year since Ed Hauser died unnecessarily, for lack of adequate public healthcare in America. A year ago today, Ed's death could have been prevented, if he had access to better preventative healthcare, along the way... doctors visits, testing, and warning about a broken heart.
Public Finance Management, We Are Ready For Your Presentation To Your FundersSubmitted by Norm Roulet on Wed, 11/11/2009 - 19:20.
Public Recreation in Cleveland in 2013? PD reports: "Visitors to Cleveland's public swimming pools -- now free -- would have to pay admission if the city enacts recommendations of a consultant submitted Tuesday." It is not surprising, the release of "Management & Efficiency Study – Cleveland, Ohio" (download as .PDF here) by Public Finance Management seems to have Northeast Ohio leadership heads spinning. At least, that is the appearance from coverage of related news - and lack thereof - in the PD.

Exactly one week after 77% of Clevelanders made Frank Jackson mayor of Cleveland for another four years...Submitted by Norm Roulet on Wed, 11/11/2009 - 06:10.
Exactly one week after 77% of Clevelanders made Frank Jackson mayor of Cleveland for another four years, the strongly pro-Jackson Cleveland Plain Dealer's City Hall reporter Henry Gomez posted to his blog that a "Consultant's report suggests that Cleveland must cut jobs to remain financially sound". In his article, Henry referred to a 344 page report by Public Finance Management that, beneath all attempts at silver lining, offers chilling analyses of the organization, financial management and economic prospects of the City of Cleveland. Some highlights of the innocuously titled "Management & Efficiency Study – Cleveland, Ohio" (download as .PDF here) include: "Cleveland faces a drop of over 50 percent in its capital program funding from FY2010 to FY2011; further reductions are forecasted for FY2012 and FY2013", "the City projects a significant budget deficit in 2010 if current spending is not adjusted to match the new revenue reality", and "the City will have to scale back services to which Clevelanders have become accustomed".
