CCPC People’s Budget ( PB CLE ) Meeting Tuesday, September 12 from 6:30 to 8 pm. The People’s Budget is a charter amendment on the ballot in Cleveland this November. It would give Cleveland residents over the age of 13 the ability to directly decide how 2% of the budget (about $14 million this year) is spent on projects in the neighborhoods. How is public input from the neighborhoods going to be organized? Who’s going to decide which projects get included in this part of the budget? And will other parts of the budget be affected by what PB decides? Is this a good idea? If you want these questions answered or have other questions about the charter amendment please attend this meeting with PB CLe representatives. Please click here to register for the event and to submit a question After registering you’ll receive an email with the Zoom link.

Our friends at the Northeast Ohio Areawide Coordinating Agency ( NOACA ) need your help tomorrow morning. Recently right – wing climate change deniers have been showing up at the NOACA Board Meeting’s to use the public comment period to be critical of even having a climate action plan. It would be great if you could show up tomorrow morning and maybe give some public comment supportive of having a regional climate action plan. The Board Meeting tomorrow is at 9 am at 1299 Superior Ave. Cleveland 44114. You must arrive at the meeting at least 5 minutes before the start to sign up to give public comment. The time allotted to each commenter is two minutes.
