TransparencyCamp is an "unconference" where hundreds of people gather together each year to share their knowledge about how to make our government work better for people and how to empower people to connect with government. We’ll talk with each other about open government, and open data and how technology can help move us all forward.

 Here's a big not-so-secret - Frank Jackson hired his former girlfriend - Merle Gordon - to head up the dysfunctional City of Cleveland Health Department.  The City of Cleveland has a cronyism problem with pretty much every dysfunctional department at City Hall (Building and Housing, Community Development).  But, the news media won't do any hard-hitting investigation, because the Greater Cleveland Partnership has to keep the status quo, until they can find another puppet to run the city.

 Columbus, Ohio has been validated this year for its transportation and education planning efforts with two large grants - the federal Smart Cities Challenge and the MacArthur sponsored We Are LRNG - Cities of Learning Grant.

 
The Department of Community Development would like to transfer $619,000 from the SHAP program to the Housing Trust Fund. The posting was made in the June 10th 2016 Friday edition of the Plain Dealer in the “Market Place” location.
Along the way, the Department of Community Development had asked for $619,000

 Just SAY NO to the Cuyahoga Land Bank, SCFBC and Cleveland Housing Network's sleazy deal (Note: arrive 6 pm so you can be cleared at desk with photo ID and pls don't bring your drugs with you)
