The political leaders of Northeast Ohio's two largest cities and its two biggest counties got together for a Crain's-sponsored panel discussion on Thursday evening, Jan. 26, in downtown Cleveland. Metaphorically, if not necessarily physically, the region benefits from having these four in the room talking out the challenges their political jurisdictions face, on housing, public safety, workforce readiness, downtown liveliness, regional cooperation and more.
As their terms begin, Cuyahoga County's new Executive Chris Ronayne put a high priority on housing and Ohio Governor Mike DeWine said he will concentrate on public and mental health.
Greater Cleveland Regional Transit Authority rider group Clevelanders for Public Transit is hoping more riders and community group leaders will soon be a appointed to the GCRTA Board of Trustees.
