		<description><![CDATA[June 5, 2010&#8230; The $800 million plus insured by the quarter-percent extra sales tax by Cuyahoga County Commissioners wasn’t sugary enough for MMPI and the Chicago Kennedys. So the Ohio State Legislature added more sweeteners to the deal. The County is collecting some $40 million a year on the tax passed by Tim Hagan and [...]]]></description>

		<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>

		<description><![CDATA[May 11, 2010&#8230; You who are paying close attention may have noticed that in my last posting here I said that a Gateway official told me that – despite a contrary mention in a New York Times article – Progressive Field was NOT getting a re-do. Well, apparently that’s not true. Sorry about that. Crain’s [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[March 5, 2010&#8230; The quarter-percent sales tax for the medical mart has now cost County taxpayers $87 million. MMPI, Tim Hagan and his Kennedy friends thank you all. Keep it coming, says Tim. This is to fulfill the agenda of the Greater Cleveland Partnership. The corrupters of our civic life mentioned in my post below. [...]]]></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>

Except as a threat. It’s poor decision-making to threaten a public that provides libraries with generous funding. Yes, cuts likely have to be made if state [...]]]></description>
