Description

As the weather heated up, so did the discussions Documenters covered in last week’s public meetings. Cleveland City Council talked about new rules for Community Benefits Agreements. They also spent almost half of a five-hour Safety Committee meeting debating how much control they should have over the proposed Neighborhood Safety Fund. Catch the details in this episode!
