The Writers and Reader Series for Cleveland Public Library 2009-2010 has been announced here.

I was glad to see printed in the Sunday May 24, 2009, Cleveland Plain Dealer "Cuyahoga County staffing, services unfairly characterized in Plain Dealer series", by James McCafferty, Cuyahoga County's administrator. There he challenges several PD analyses of Cuyahoga County government performance, writing "The Plain Dealer's use of selective benchmarking results in misleading conclusions", which he claims are "disingenuous and intellectually dishonest".

Incumbent Councilman Brian Cummins to contest seat in newly established Ward 14

Recently, at an east-side establishment, I overheard an employee get ridiculed by her coworkers for identifying herself as an Italian-American.  Her coworker snickered,"You aren't Italian, you are Black!" But, the woman stood her ground.  "I am African-American and I am Italian-American, and I am proud of my heritage."  It was a heartwarming moment to me.

My friends did not send me this mail.  Is this happening to other folks?

I posted this in the comments of an earlier entry but wanted to elevate it:

Tony Brown and Steve Litt take a turn in front of a camera to discuss the impending sale of the Cleveland Playhouse to the Cleveland Clinic. The video is so poor that Brown comments asking for our forebearance. I really couldn't hear much at all, but IMHO Philip Johnson's design is worth saving not for design, but for the horrible waste of embodied energy.

I fired up the Cleveland.com website and read an article written by the Ohio Division of Wildlife: Poacher writes an apology for spotlighting deer. The guy was found guilty.  I skimmed through it reading the actual written apology and he "...put many people's lives at risk" on Nov. 20, 2008 when he and two other adults engaged in spotlighting deer from his vehicle in Guernsey County"

What the hell is "spotlighting"?

So what can Cleveland do to turn itself around?  That was the same question that many citizens in Atlanta were asking thirty years ago.  It breaks down to the issues and the solutions:
