		<description><![CDATA[April 9, 2010&#8230; Tell me – of all the serious, debilitating problems of Cleveland – why has a $350 million &#8211; less than three-mile road &#8211; become a major MUST for our community?

It’s an act of piracy seldom defined by the mass media. The media simply play it as “that’s the way things are done” apparently. No other voices need be [...]]]></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.
