Too bad facts don't care about opinions:

How many municipalities exist in Licking County? I bet less than 59. Also, please don't twist my words and make assumptions based on a few sentences. In the end, large companies aren't looking to move into counties where taxes are unnecessarily high due to power-clinging fiefdoms. This limits the competitiveness of our entire region, not just Cuyahoga Co.

Yes.

This is exactly the type of response I expected from a fake conservative. More worried about labeling and meaningless projections then discussing actual issues to make our region more competitive. Thankfully, your generation is losing power and voters each year and every year.

Attitudes like this are a prime example why major employers from the outside continually pass on northern Ohio. Instead, they choose to invest and build in central Ohio - where government structures aren’t antiquated and bloated. Mergers would eliminate thousands of unnecessary and overlapping public sector jobs, while reducing tax burdens for its citizens. A true conservative would be pushing hard for mergers. It’s a damn shame this region will never meet its full potential due to fear and ignorance.

No, it isn't relevant at all. And as long as the average voter keeps focusing on trivial BS, the real issues plaguing this COUNTY will never get fixed. If you actually care to discuss the nuts and bolts, lookup public employment #'s for Franklin and Allegheny counties, then compare those numbers to Cuyahoga. This will lead you down the right path.

The Fitch Ratings have upgraded Cleveland from A+ to AA-, with a similar upgrade from Moody's. http://www.fitchratings.com/entity/cleveland-oh-general-government-credit-summary-96249678

Why and how is that relevant today? But here's what AI says: The exact number of people employed by the city of Cleveland in 1950 is difficult to determine, as specific records from that time are not readily available. However, I can provide you with a general estimate based on the information available. In 1950, Cleveland was a major city with a population of over 900,000 residents. As such, the city government would have required a significant workforce to manage its operations and provide essential services. It is reasonable to assume that over ten thousand individuals were employed by the city during that period. The city of Cleveland encompasses various departments, including public works, police, fire, education, health, and administration. Each department would have employed a considerable number of workers to fulfill their respective roles and responsibilities. To gain a more precise estimate, it would be advisable to consult historical records, archives, or local government sources that may contain detailed employment data for the city of Cleveland in 1950.

Appreciate you posting accurate information. Often times what we think and want to believe is true, couldn't be further from reality.

That's a drop in the bucket and not even worth discussing when compared to the hundreds of millions (possibly > billion) wasted on maintaining staffing levels and services for 59 municipalities in ONE county. Focus on the big picture, not easy targets.

And the law Cellholder put through for First Energy is still on the books.

You're thinking of this one, which is a few blocks west on Lorain: https://courbanize.com/projects/50west/information

Does anyone know if this project received approval yesterday? https://courbanize.com/projects/45west/information

It's all too distract from the fact that among the ten states grappling with the most dire socioeconomic indicators, nine of them lean heavily towards a conservative political affiliation.

I mean, sure, Ohio might not be home to extreme political activity when compared to a war-torn, third world country: https://abc6onyourside.com/news/local/militia-activists-ohio-governor-mike-dewine-attack-plan-court-documents-share-8-10-21

Now post a chart showing the # of people who won't move to Ohio because of how backwards it's perceived.

Maybe they're busy trying to find a way to blame it on the liberals? Just kidding, I'm sure they're out there somewhere, polishing their "Make Ohio Great Again" hats and sharpening their arguments against anything that doesn't fit their worldview.

WKYC is reporting the victim was a professor at CSU. Hudson man found shot to death inside of home HUDSON, Ohio — Police are investigating after a 41-year-old man was found dead of gunshot wounds Wednesday evening inside a home.

Isn't it a little early for your Olympic-level mental gymnastics routine? The only cancerous Party is the GOP. The only gold medal winning liars are the GOP. The only real existential threat to America is the GOP. The party of the grift

No, it doesn't belong here or anywhere else honest people converse.

If repubs ran better candidates, Russo, Dimora and Budish would've never held office. It's the Republican's fault that all happened. That's gOp logic for ya.

Nice, logical response to BB's red herring riddled post.
