New County
Government
A
League
of Women Voters (LWV) Cuyahoga
Area
blog
page has links to Cleveland Plain Dealer items and the Cuyahoga
County Web site concerning the transition to a new county government
structure. You can join more than 1,000 community volunteers who have
signed up to work on the transition.
The Cuyahoga County
Board of Elections Web
page has information
on the September 7, 2010 Primary Election, the first round in the

******************************
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).
