Hard to believe that it was nearly five years ago that a small but mighty group of folks launched Cleveland Documenters. We knew that paying residents to create a people’s record of public meetings would help shift the power dynamic of news.
A few years later, we decided to put community curiosity and collaborative accountability at the center of #SignalCleveland’s mission. Launching a whole new thing is not easy but the feedback from Clevelanders keeps me going. If you are able, donate! signalnews.info/4bFIR8p

Mayor Justin Bibb presenting his 2025 budget to Cleveland City Council this morning. Pretty drama-free so far, although Collinwood's Mike Polensek warned there would be "war" if CMSD closes high schools on the East Side.

Cleveland City Council members could now face discipline for violating council's workplace policies.
Council President Blaine Griffin circulated an updated set of policies among members and staff.
Members must take annual anti-harassment training or risk losing ward dollars.

One thing that jumped out at me about Cleveland’s latest budget proposal: There will be quite a few code enforcement vacancies to fill.
That will be a key pressure point as the city tries to enforce its new(ish) Residents First legislation.
