Required reading, from Paul Krugman. I’ll quote a little bit below, and you can then go to the New York Times and read the rest for yourself.
The global origins of our current mess were actually laid out by none other than Ben Bernanke, in an influential speech he gave early in 2005, before he [...]
I caught a snippet of the glitch that caused double billing to some Giant Eagle customers if they had the misfortune of shopping for groceries on December 14th last evening on TV, but learned more from the on-line Crain’s Business article today. I experienced this SAME thing years ago, and am rather amazed that it still happens. [...]
I certainly hope so. In this day and age, there is a lot of talk about something called “tough love”. I think it is time that the taxpayers of Cuyahoga County start issuing some “tough love” to the Port Authority and our County Commissioners by voting NO on the renewal of the tax levy for [...]
So the phrase is usually Spring Forward, Fall Back but down at the Ugly Broad Tavern things are moving forward. New items have been added to the menu and other upcoming events should mean a trip down Denison to join in the fun.
First of all, Dean has moved from behind the bar into the kitchen. [...]
My next scheduled installment in the Put It On The Ballot series was to be about the concept of leadership and how it has become rather perverse here in Northeast Ohio but then over on Brewed Fresh Daily George posted a letter that Roldo received and the comments it has generated made me think that the time [...]
Last time I posted about the public hearing, I covered–the pony show, Christopher Kennedy’s presentation and the barking dogs-the public show. And now, ladies and gentlemen, I present to you the three act road show of Jimmy, Pete, and Timmy.

This one probably fits my definition of what I thought a public hearing was better than the others, but parts of all of them would make a whole–”a formal meeting held pursuant to public notice by [...]
Tuesday, July 24th, I received an invitation to attend a meeting at Gypsy Beans and Baking Company. I went. I think it may have changed my life. I thought I was through with my days of political activism. Turned out I was wrong. When I went, I did not know the reason for the meeting [...]
“Rebuilt neighborhoods should be designed for people with a mix of incomes.” We have neighborhoods with people with a mix of incomes. I lifted this quote, from this article on Cleveland.Com. We do not need to be rebuilt. What we need is safety and education. Although the Put It On The Ballot Campaign was to do just that–put [...]
As many of you may know by now through local media outlets, we did not make our goal and decided to handle it in the following manner.
Zack Reed and Ryan Demro personally thanked Auditor Frank Russo for making his
office available for us today. (see Jeff Buster’s posting at http://realneo.us/blog/jeff-buster/put-it-on-the-ballot-com-fails-to-garner-10-of-reg-voters-in-30-days)
We then stood on the steps of [...]
