		<description><![CDATA[May 20, 2010&#8230; It was a pleasure to see The Plain Dealer&#8217;s front page today. The PD for the first time in my memory asked a question that needed to be asked: “If Progressive Field needs improvements, who will pay the bill?” It was played prominently on Page One. If there is any other board [...]]]></description>

As a result of Gateway’s near bankruptcy a few years ago the two team owners decided to “save” Gateway from bankruptcy by agreeing to pay operating costs. They now [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[November 24, 2009&#8230; The most reasonable tax for Cleveland City Council to raise income would be a special admissions tax on all events at Progressive Field, Quicken Arena, and Browns Stadium. Why? The reason is mainly because none of the teams pay any property taxes on their sports facilities. Not a penny. They ride FREE. [...]]]></description>
