In my consulting career I’ve been asked to put together a goodly amount of RFPs (Requests For Proposals) on behalf of my clients. Usually they’ve got some kind of problem that needs to be resolved and they look to the best and brightest in a particular field to tell them how the problem can be solved and how […]
The other day I posted about what I perceived to be the futility of attending a CuyCo GOP Central/Executive Committee meeting to discuss a proposed party platform. My senitments were that it was already a done deal and that the folks who opposed the platform (mostly because they wanted to offer amendments, etc.) wouldn’t be […]
The new slogan for the Cleveland CONvention Center.
At least that’s what the Cuyahoga County Commissioners decided to tell county resisdents today in a 2-1 (Dimora and Hagen yes, Jones no) absolutely expected vote after the second of two “public” hearings on the issue of raising the county sales tax by .25% to support a CONvention […]

“Do y’all smell that?” he asked the audience. “It’s the smell of fire! Destiny’s burning in the fumes. Young lives just being consumed. […]
What’s 1700 into 4500? Mathematically it can be explained as 0.37777778. Or as 37.8%. In Cleveland it can also be explained as complete and utter FAILURE!
You see, in August 2003, 4500 kids started their freshman year in Cleveland’s public high schools. 1700 out of the 4500 graduated in 2007. Nationally, about one-third of all public […]
If building a new convention center in Cleveland to lure a medical mart is such a wonderful way to make money for our community, why isn’t some wealthy business person or company (who got to be wealthy business people or companies based on their business acumen) telling the city, “I’ll build the convention center and […]
From the Sunday Plain Dealer - a murderers’ row of our under-performing employees:
