Mayor Eric Brewer on "Meet the Bloggers"Submitted by Norm Roulet on Sat, 03/18/2006 - 15:56.
I was very excited to participate in a "Meet the Bloggers" discussion with East Cleveland mayor Eric J. Brewer, with George Nemeth and others, and it was a fantastic experience... what a great initiative Meet the Bloggers is... and the result is a thorough and revealing look into a man very few people really know, largely because the Plain Dealer has taken great efforts to present him as bad. Well, as far as anyone I know and I can tell, Brewer is good. If you care about truth in NEO, you REALLY MUST listen to Part 1 linked below, as Brewer discusses in detail his involvement in the indictment of former Mayor Emmanuel Onunwor... and in Part 3, don't miss Brewer's explanation for the poor treatment of him by the Plain Dealer - this is a major coup for "Meet the Bloggers". East Cleveland on the move toward transformationSubmitted by Sandy Kristin P... on Sun, 03/12/2006 - 02:02.
Hannah Fritzman writes http://www.cleveland.com/weblogs/theview/index.ssf?/mtlogs/cleve_theview/archives/2006_03.html that Mayor Eric Brewer of East Cleveland is in conversation with the Civic Innovation Lab. I have also heard that leadership at the Intergenerational School is in conversation about the possibility of expanding into the city of East Cleveland. If the city can reverse perceptions about its safety and the quality of its schools, perhaps it can become home to young professionals who will launch independent small businesses and generate a second heydey for the home of John D. Rockefeller...

Huge breaking story: Jury holds 3 ex-makers of lead paint liableSubmitted by Norm Roulet on Wed, 02/22/2006 - 16:36.
Huge news in Rhode Island today - "Jury holds 3 ex-makers of lead paint liable" - will have major impacts in Cleveland. Cleveland is one year into a major regional initiative to eradicate lead poisoning in Greater Cleveland, where elevated blood level rates are some of the highest in the country, and it is very important that the paint companies are part of the solutions being developed. Rhode Island is where the battle against lead poisoning has proceeded the furthest in court, and now a jury has ruled against three paint companies, including our home-town Sherwin-Williams. Imagine some possible next steps... lead goes the way of asbestos and the old paint companies go bankrupt, and so goes away Sherwin-Williams and all its jobs in the region, with the assets going to our next Mittal... yet the bankruptcy settlement and asset sales help pay to eradicate lead poisoning here so our next generations are not mentally impaired and are able to contribute to the economy. What do the people of NEO rally around - saving jobs or saving minds... I can see the fanatical lines being drawn now. Is that the best we can do? Or can lead be viewed as a new frontier for open, responsible collaboration across our community (as is already happening in Greater Cleveland) AND with one of the biggest players on the industry - our own Sherwin-Williams - allowing us to respond here to our dirty laundry being aired in the RI courts, and in the process making Sherwin-Williams a stronger corporate citizen, in a safer, healthier, smarter community more worth living in. Read the complete story, from the Providence Journal.

Political Bribery is Not “Business As Usual”Submitted by Kevin Cronin on Wed, 02/01/2006 - 23:20.
Ohio Congressman Bob Ney is certainly entitled to have the facts proved before he’s considered guilty, but it’s a disservice to voters to claim the charges against him are “just politics” or “the way things work in DC.” By asserting that these allegations are “the way things get done,” supporters drag politics and government lower and give disgusted voters more reasons to give up on government. To really understand the accusations and why the allegations are more than routine, readers need to understand the nature of the charges and the facts at hand.

01.24.06 NeoExcellence Roundtable: East Cleveland Mayor Eric Brewer shares Visions of TransformationSubmitted by Sudhir Kade on Wed, 01/25/2006 - 12:15.
![]() Eric Brewer detailed his vision and agenda for a new East Cleveland and introduced himself to a packed house at the City Club as the first Mayor from Shaw High and the 2nd oldest mayor in the history of East Cleveland. He further joked that he was also the first Mayor to be sworn in twice. Brewer outlined serious plans for a disadvantaged but promising community. Many of the current duties being performed by the Brewer administration are comprised of what could only be called 'housecleaning' - cleaning up a dirty trail of corruption and mismanagment. One of the many stories of mismanagement involved the use of block grants for demolition rather than development of property in a once-storied city. ( categories: )
East Cleveland Mayor shares bold vision and energy, at the RoundtableSubmitted by Norm Roulet on Tue, 01/24/2006 - 16:44.
At the 01.24.06 Excellence Roundtable at the City Club, a standing room only group of diverse area citizens came together to discuss the future of East Cleveland with newly elected Mayor Eric Brewer. If Mayor Brewer can deliver on his promise, potential and the opportunities offered in redevelopment of this unique community, he will be a hero in this region and in many respects in the country. I believe everyone left this roundtable expecting this will occur.

REALNEO/REAlinks helps present certificate of appreciation to CWRU's PresidentSubmitted by JGratry on Fri, 09/23/2005 - 09:54.
On Wednesday, September 14, Realneo/Realinks along with the COO of East Cleveland Alfered Miller, went to CWRU to help present President Hundert a certificate of appreciation for their leadership in the East Cleveland 2010 initiative and for donating more than 20 monitors. CWRU was having its third annual Case for Community Day where the president told all of the volunteers that "you are turning the Universities vision into action." CWRU's continued collaboration with the city of East Cleveland is helping it to move forward in such a dynamic world of information technology. The monitors were given for an event that happened at a press conference on Saturday, September 10, at the city of East Cleveland’s Town Hall Meeting. Mayor Goggins announced the beginning of a free distribution of previously used corporate laptop and desktop computers to East Cleveland residents needing assistance. Approximately 50 computers were distributed to Shaw High School seniors and senior citizens identified by the Helen S. Brown Senior Center. Over 100 additional PCs are being prepared for later distribution, and additional donations are encouraged. ( categories: )

Lead Awareness Week in Northeast Ohio kicked-off at 11 AM on July 18, 2005, with a press conference at the Zelma George Recreation Center, 3165 Martin Luther King Blvd., in the Mt.

The purpose of the conference and week is to raise public awareness for the risks of lead poisoning, and support preventative action. 06.07.05 NOTES from Excellence Roundtable: More Whiskey, East Cleveland Next Steps & World Wisdom CenterSubmitted by Norm Roulet on Fri, 06/10/2005 - 06:54.

Best practice: Redeveloping affordable housingSubmitted by Norm Roulet on Fri, 06/10/2005 - 06:48.
At the last East Cleveland Excellence meeting at the Helen S. Brown Center we spoke about needs for affordable housing for seniors in East Cleveland, especially as they need to downsize, and affordable housing is a huge issue in general. When then looking at photos of some of East Cleveland's landbanked properties it became clear there is a great opportunity to serve these needs.

Making NEO more globally competitive, even as America loses our edgeSubmitted by Norm Roulet on Sat, 04/16/2005 - 09:46.
An insightful opinion editorial in the 04.15.05 New York Times declares "Bush Disarms, Unilaterally", claiming over the past few years the US has abandoned the new economy war. The author states what he "can't figure out about the Bush team is why an administration that is so focused on projecting U.S. military strength abroad has taken such little interest in America's economic competitiveness at home - the underlying engine of our strength" - ultimately the question posed is why Americans are allowing ourselves to fall behind the rest of the world in deploying information technology research and access to our masses. The same reasoning can be applied to our homeland economy for Northeast Ohio - why do we allow 100,000s of area residents to stagnate in the old economy, divided apart from the digital economy?
