Here is a link to a Google docs PDF which provides background on Ohio's Green Party and David Ellison, Green Party candidate for Cuyahoga County Executive. 

I like the idea (page 3 of the doc) of a Cuyahoga County Conservation Corp - reminds me a bit of On Demand Work Corps which was advocated here on Realneo in 2006.

I notice in the Realneo poll which is now running in the left hand side column - that Mr. Ellison and Mr. Scipione are about neck in neck - what the predictive value is of this poll county-wide is - will be interesting to see after November 2, 2010.
