Description

Documenters are hard at work covering all the information being packed into Cleveland City Council’s final meetings before their summer recess. Last week, Documenters captured debates about the effectiveness of funding home-repair loans, and plans for development on the city’s Southeast Side. That and more in this week's episode.

The Public Meetings Report podcast is produced by Signal Cleveland, Cleveland Documenters and WOVU 95.9 FM.
