You Keep Paying County TaxesSubmitted by Roldo on Thu, 06/05/2008 - 11:33.
To follow the jobs loss data, cited in item below, here’s a quick update on a couple of our onerous Cuyahoga County regressive taxes and what they cost us monthly. For your May payments, citizens & taxpayers, to support the Browns Stadium, used nearly exclusively (what 9 or 10 days a year) by the billionaire Lerner family, we paid $5,544,424 in May alone. Since switching the stadium "sin" taxes for the baseball field to the football field in August, 2005, we’ve paid a whopping $39,249,696. Always nice to help billionaires. The Lerner family pays a measily $250,000 in annual rent and the city pays its insurance bill of some $125,000.

Scary, Scary - Not Good NewsSubmitted by Roldo on Thu, 06/05/2008 - 11:10.
I’ve always called George Zeller the scariest man in Cuyahoga County. The reason, George - really a gentle man - has the always troubling numbers on jobs and job losses for this area and the state. He’s been collecting figures on jobs and unemployment for years, now via Cuyahoga County government.

The Next Big Thing: Millennials, Mobility, AdvertisingSubmitted by Betsey Merkel on Fri, 05/30/2008 - 16:23.
Here are two interesting articles outlining next generation enterprise opportunities focused on the Millennial market, the trend toward higher levels of mobility, and advertising and communication. Don't think in actual terms of "next generation" because the market is already here!

Non-Collaborative Behavior = Ohio agreement to join Great Lakes water plan stalls againSubmitted by Betsey Merkel on Thu, 05/29/2008 - 23:27.
Single agendas have no place in large scale collaborations that engage multi-state agreements and alignment of resources. The cost is high: time investment (just think of calculating one Governor and that Office's staff time, then multiply by eight states), tried patience, and a splintering of camps generating what Jack Ricchiuto calls, "shadow conversations" deteriorating future interest in the next collaboration opportunity. Worse yet, people act as if we have time. What do citizens have to say about this? Is this efficient and productive? What's your take on this?

Front Page Dream FactorySubmitted by Roldo on Tue, 05/27/2008 - 07:43.
Anybody can dream dreams. They don’t deserve big headlines on the front page of our only daily newspaper. So will the Plain Dealer please stop acting as the public relations outlet of downtown developer dreams! I know that we all want to hear “good news” about our economic progress. However, “good news” that never seems to materialize is “bad news.”

IF ONLY RTA...Submitted by Roldo on Fri, 05/23/2008 - 12:20.
Now that we have $4 a gallon gasoline upon us maybe we should look at what could have been if only… If only our Regional Transit System had concentrated on being a system that had as its main aim the transit dependent, not to mention our environmental needs.

Regional networking key to future economy, ECIDC speaker saysSubmitted by Betsey Merkel on Thu, 05/22/2008 - 16:19.
Here's a press release on Ed Morrison's recent presentation in Illinois: ..." Sunday, May 18, 2008 10:59 PM CDT By BILL LAIR, Managing Editor The challenge for civic leaders today is figuring out how to forecast the future workplace needs of the country. Ed Morrison, an economic policy adviser for the Purdue center for Regional Development, said people spend too much energy placing blame on economic problems instead of planning for improvements. Morrison was the featured speaker at the nine-county East Central Illinois Development Corporation’s Annual Dinner and BESI Awards on Thursday in Effingham. The BESI awards went to Jim Ryan of Marshall, John Inyart of Charleston and to the Journal Gazette/Times-Courier for their achievements in business ethics and social involvement. = 1209618000) && (nAdsysTime <= 1212296399)) { aAd = new Array('news+bigads', '46571-1194541040', 'swf'); aAd[3] = '336'; aAd[4] = '280'; aAd[5] = new Array(); aAd[5][0] = 'http%3A%2F%2Fwww.firstmid.com'; aAd[6] = 'news%2Bbigads'; aAd[7] = 10; aAd[8] = 0; aAd[9] = 545; aAd[10] = 0; aAd[11] = 0; aAds[aAds.length] = aAd; } if ((nAdsysTime >= 1209618000) && (nAdsysTime <= 1212296399)) { aAd = new Array('news+bigads', '74513-1209649693', 'swf'); aAd[3] = '336'; aAd[4] = '280'; aAd[5] = new Array(); aAd[5][0] = 'http%3A%2F%2Fwww.richeys.com'; aAd[6] = 'news%2Bbigads'; aAd[7] = 10; aAd[8] = 0; aAd[9] = 545; aAd[10] = 0; aAd[11] = 0; aAds[aAds.length] = aAd; } if ((nAdsysTime >= 1199426400) && (nAdsysTime <= 1515131999)) { aAd = new Array('news+bigads', '109908-1205339109', 'js'); aAd[7] = 10; aAd[8] = 0; aAd[9] = 545; aAd[10] = 0; aAd[11] = 0; aAds[aAds.length] = aAd; } if ((nAdsysTime >= 1209618000) && (nAdsysTime <= 1212296399)) { aAd = new Array('news+bigads', '121553-1206998996', 'swf'); aAd[3] = '300'; aAd[4] = '250'; aAd[5] = new Array(); aAd[5][0] = 'http%3A%2F%2Fwww.illinoisexpresseyecare.com'; aAd[6] = 'news%2Bbigads'; aAd[7] = 10; aAd[8] = 0; aAd[9] = 545; aAd[10] = 0; aAd[11] = 0; aAds[aAds.length] = aAd; } if ((nAdsysTime >= 1209704400) && (nAdsysTime <= 1214888399)) { aAd = new Array('news+bigads', '121781-1210369432', 'swf'); aAd[3] = '300'; aAd[4] = '250'; aAd[5] = new Array(); aAd[5][0] = ''; aAd[6] = 'news%2Bbigads'; aAd[7] = 10; aAd[8] = 0; aAd[9] = 545; aAd[10] = 0; aAd[11] = 0; aAds[aAds.length] = aAd; } if ((nAdsysTime >= 1209531600) && (nAdsysTime <= 1212296399)) { aAd = new Array('news+bigads', '122887-1207687672', 'swf'); aAd[3] = '300'; aAd[4] = '250'; aAd[5] = new Array(); aAd[5][0] = 'http%3A%2F%2Fwww.kcsummersnissan.com'; aAd[6] = 'news%2Bbigads'; aAd[7] = 10; aAd[8] = 0; aAd[9] = 545; aAd[10] = 0; aAd[11] = 0; aAds[aAds.length] = aAd; } if ((nAdsysTime >= 1207890000) && (nAdsysTime <= 1212296399)) { aAd = new Array('news+bigads', '123586-1209489510', 'swf'); aAd[3] = '300'; aAd[4] = '250'; aAd[5] = new Array(); aAd[5][0] = 'http%3A%2F%2Fwww.barbeck.com%2F'; aAd[6] = 'news%2Bbigads'; aAd[7] = 10; aAd[8] = 0; aAd[9] = 545; aAd[10] = 0; aAd[11] = 0; aAds[aAds.length] = aAd; } adsys_displayAd('http://adsys.townnews.com', 'jg-tc.com', aAds, aCampaigns); // -->

Intel and Grameen announced a new partnership today, using new tools to lift poverty and build enterprise. Two of our Midtown Wednesdays Civic Forums at Myers University in the summer of 2006 were lead by two leaders from Africa, Masalakulangwa Mabula and Kudzai Shava. We learned about shared challenges and solutions..the same in Tanzania as in Cleveland urban commuities, we are just separated by an ocean. What is our opportunity to replicate this model here in Northeast Ohio and elevate a 20 year history of deep poverty? Here's the announcement: Sunday, May. 18, 2008
