Has anybody checked to see if the Cuyahoga County Prosecutor's Office will ask a special prosecutor to handle a case involving the son of donors who gave over $26,000 in cash and in-kind contributions to the elected prosecutor's reelection campaign? https://t.co/qzDwv9vhFz

“It’s a story of distrust. You can go back to Martin Luther King Jr.’s 1967 townhall in Hough to hear resident stories of distrust around lead-based paint. Distrust is a long-festering wound in this city and the CMHA report just ripped it wide open.”
It’s been a long week of news on lead-safe housing. My take on the week and the work ahead 👇 We have no option other than to succeed at making Cleveland lead-safe. Cleveland’s children deserve nothing less. https://t.co/KfFlvm5k5V

Surely by now in the Superman universe, the equity fund that owns the Daily Planet would have liquidated its downtown real estate and moved its staff to the suburbs.
More movie filming prep taking place Downtown - looks like I now live in The Daily Planet building!!👀😎

Did you know? 💸 Women in Ohio only make 81 cents for every dollar paid to white men. 💸 Latina women will only make 57 cents on the dollar paid to white men. 💸 Black women will lose nearly $1 million over the course of their career to the pay gap. We’re fighting back 👇

“As everyone knows, inflation is affecting everyone and winning a fair contract with increased wages means janitors can provide for our families and build our future.” said Local 1 janitor Brian Yarbrough. When we FIGHT, we WIN!

There are a lot of folks in this town who have worked really hard, for a really long time to bring the FEWB to life. Today is building on the legacy of organizers from nearly 20 years ago who initially brought the idea of the FEWB to life. It’s truly a beautiful thing 🥹🥹🥹
Looking Forward to working with the newest members of the Fair Employment Wage Board. They will work hard to address poverty and advocate for working families.

Look at this charming family! So sweet, so cute!
Enjoyed meeting Alex Nosse, owner of Joy Machines Bike Shop in Cleveland. His tale of starting the shop from scratch, rooted in his neighborhood, is genuinely inspiring. Also, had the pleasure of meeting his charming family. Ruby Nosse, pictured with her dad, is adorable.

Two @CleCityCouncil members complained recently to @MayorBibb's administration about an ad for summer park jobs with $13-$14 an hour pay. Council passed legislation in 2023 that’s supposed to ensure temporary city workers are paid at least $15.33/hour. https://t.co/JF3Fs3stP9.

We're one week away from my birthday and my fundraiser event! I'm excited for food from Never Say Dive and bowling at The Nash. Getting your tickets in advance really helps. And if you cannot make it in person, every donation helps. https://t.co/O3D28DBIqp
