		<description><![CDATA[March 7, 2010&#8230; The Plain Dealer reported Sunday about the troubled downtown commercial properties. Empty and emptying buildings. It&#8217;s a shame.
“Turmoil in commercial real estate,” says the article by Michelle Jarboe here:
http://www.cleveland.com/business/index.ssf/2010/03/commercial_real_estates_challe.html
Yet The Plain Dealer – with business and political leaders &#8211; has been pushing for more and more subsidies to build new. That’s just [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[March 2, 2010&#8230;  Finally, someone talks some sense about the duties of new Cuyahoga County Commissioners under the County reform – candidate Clark Broida. The task of the county government is services, not economic development, he says.
