Here‘s what we’re asking about today:
Some Cuyahoga County homeowners are still howling about the tax increases that come with the big jump in their home values. Statehouse lawmakers are listening. What are some of the proposals to give us some property tax relief?
Senator-elect Bernie Moreno provided some relief for people who are anxious about Donald Trump’s plans for the Haitian refugees who are living in Springfield, Ohio, legally. What did he say?
Ohio lawmakers want to spend $15 million for a special spring election so they can get voter approval to borrow money. That cash would then go to municipalities across the state for infrastructure. The state’s been doing this for years. What are some of the Northeast Ohio projects to get the money over the past five years?
Reporter Jeremy Pelzer took a deep dive into how Matt Huffman managed to go directly from Ohio Senate president to Ohio House speaker. How’d he do it?
Robert Kennedy Jr. is a quack, and he’s about to be the nation’s chief medical officer. Before he starts his campaigns against vaccines that have saved countless lives, we thought we should talk about their value. Julie Washington put together a primer. What does she tell us?
Cleveland City Council is required, based on falling population, to wipe out two seats, dropping the body to 15 members. This should be the subject of transparency and much conversation. Why is the Cuyahoga County Board of Elections forcing a rushed decision?
Donald Trump hates the EPA. But the EPA provides grants for lots of beneficial things, like clean water and hazardous site cleanup. Many such grants have come to Northeast Ohio. Reporter Pete Krouse rounded them up and analyzed which ones might be in jeopardy. What did he find?
When people end up in hospitals, they’re obviously there to get better from whatever ails them. Sometimes, though, the hospitals make things worse. Which Northeast Ohio hospitals get bad marks for endangering patients?
Finally, this is the holiday week. We’ll have one more episode, tomorrow, and then be off until next Monday. Travel writer Susan Glaser put together the holiday travel story. What should we expect?
