		<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[April 30, 2010&#8230; Cuyahoga County could save up to $1 to $2 million a year in interest for the Medical Mart/Convention Center by using bond borrowings allowed by federal stimulus subsidies. The subsidy would decrease the cost of borrowing. The savings would depend upon interest rates at the time bonds are issued, likely this year. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[April 18, 2010&#8230; Here are some questions I would appreciate answered from the Cuyahoga County Commissioners and/or their attorney Jeffery Applebaum. I don’t believe any of the questions would interfere with the sticky problem of negotiating the best prices for the project.

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>

Cuyahoga County sent a check of $2,493,426.93 but that was only a small portion of tax funds that now total far more than $100 million paid for bond borrowings in the 1990s. Payments last year put the cost over $100 million; [...]]]></description>
