League of Women Voters (LWV) First
Thursdays: Jennifer Brunner, Ohio Secretary of State
Jennifer Brunner, the first woman
Secretary of State in Ohio's history, is
the featured speaker at the League of Women Voters’ First Thursdays,
the League’s meeting series open to the public free of charge.
Brunner’s talk is set for Thursday, February 4, 2010, 7:00 pm
to 9:00 pm,
at Trinity Commons at Trinity Cathedral, 2230 Euclid Avenue, Cleveland.
Women Who Know Their Place is the theme of this season’s First
Thursdays, a five-part speaker
series, each featuring a woman who has achieved a high degree of
success in her field. It also celebrates the 90th Anniversary of the
League of Women Voters and the passage of the 19th Amendment, giving
women the right to vote.
******************************
Regionalism - Efforts extending
beyond Cuyahoga County
The Northeast Ohio "Regional
Prosperity Initiative" (www.neo-rpi.org)
has produced detailed interim reports and final to-do lists on a
16-county plan for regional land use planning and "New Growth Tax-base
Sharing." The latter proposal is expected out in its final form
by late March.
The "Ohio Commission on Local Government Reform and Collaboration" (www.ohioreformandcollaboration.org)
is working hard to craft legislative carrots and/or sticks to make
these and other collaborations more advantageous and achievable
statewide.
******************************
The LWV Cuyahoga
Area Web
site is a good source
of information about current issues and upcoming events. For
example, the
Cleveland Plain Dealer (May 26, 2009, page B1) noted the publication of
the new pamphlet
relevant to county government reform, "Citizen Guide to Cuyahoga County
Government: Past,
Present, Future". Click here
to download the pamphlet as a 13-page PDF-format file.
At the same Web site can be found links to the LWV
Ohio brochure, "The
Sunshine Law: Ohio's Open Meetings Act", and an LWV study and
position on the Cleveland-Cuyahoga
County Port
Authority (CCCPA).
