Want to see if this will get Cleveland news to cut through the X noise. Here's another thread on the great work my @signalcleveland colleagues have been turning out lately 🧵:

“What mayor would give up his own authority?” “He’s walking away from it slowly.” “It’s easier to support something on the outside.” 5 years after he endorsed sweeping police oversight, Justin Bibb is moving to end the consent decree. What comes next? signalcleveland.org/cleveland-mayo…

5 years after Cleveland declared racism a public health crisis, a commission created a 52-page report detailing systemic barriers in 5 areas: education, housing, workforce, public health and criminal justice. What are some ways to dismantle these barriers? signalnews.info/4d06kE3

The advocates are following up on this news from @NickCastele signalcleveland.org/cleveland-lose…

‘Getting in their own way’: What Cleveland lead advocates want to see change after city lost lead grant @signalcleveland signalcleveland.org/cleveland-lead…

A driver let a “buddy” take the wheel of a school van. Another was cited for wearing earbuds. A contractor had a record that included kidnapping. @UhWild reports on Cleveland’s school transportation failures, which the district says it is working to fix. signalcleveland.org/safety-issues-…

Cleveland's new crisis center (which is currently being built!!) is facing uncertainty as the county weighs funding other services or funding the center. @CeliaHack explains what could happen to the center and what it means. signalcleveland.org/cuyahoga-count…

Yea Doug! 👏👏🏻👏🏾👏🏿🫡

Cleveland's not alone in sweeping public school closure plans — over the next couple weeks I'll be looking at what the district can learn from other cities. Including my hometown, Chicago. @signalcleveland signalcleveland.org/what-cleveland…

Health reporter @CeliaHack has diligently followed the financial unraveling of NEON, Cleveland's East Side neighborhood health nonprofit: signalcleveland.org/lender-says-it…

Cleveland residents take another hit from failed nonprofit leadership. No one has been on the story like Signal. Lender says it plans to foreclose on NEON health center properties after negotiations break down signalcleveland.org/lender-says-it…

News: Cleveland and the U.S. Justice Department are asking U.S. District Judge Solomon Oliver to end the city's nearly 11-year-old police consent decree. Cleveland has "achieved substantial compliance" with the Obama-era decree, city and DOJ say. @signalcleveland

For years, CLE Clerk of Courts Earle B. Turner pressured drivers to pay additional tickets they owed but were not legally required to pay to remove registration blocks. signalcleveland.org/how-cleveland-…

Bibb at budget hearings today mentioned his plans to rework parts of Cleveland's lead paint law. @CeliaHack has a rundown here:

Trump admin to give $175 million to six coal plants, including two in Ohio For one of these plants (OVEC), Ohioans *just* got of a yearslong bailout of the plants that charged citizens $679 million over about a decade to give to its owners signalohio.org/trump-admin-to…

On Monday, Cleveland officials pointed to spending restrictions to explain why City Hall lost $3.3 million in state grant dollars for lead paint. But the restrictions they mentioned were imposed by Cleveland itself — not by the state. New for @signalcleveland:

On Tuesday, the Cleveland Clinic pitched new Level 1 trauma center to nearby East Side residents Here’s what they thought. @signalcleveland signalcleveland.org/cleveland-clin…

As Cuyahoga County’s population of older adults rises, so have calls to its elder abuse and neglect hotline @signalcleveland signalcleveland.org/calls-to-cuyah…

Reports of neglect, exploitation and abuse of older adults to a county hotline rose more than 30% in the last five years — a harbinger of what’s to come as Cuyahoga County’s population ages. ✍🏻 @CeliaHack signalnews.info/4a7U0Qd
