In the city proper of Cleveland, the number of people on welfare is astounding, and they are bankrupting the city/taxpayers. Many of the suburbs are booming.

 

The municipalities within Cuyahoga county are seriously looking at what Columbus/Franklin county did 15 or 20 years ago - annex the suburbs to more evenly distribute the tax dollars and funnel more money into areas where it can foster economic growth.

 

(...but we all know that Columbus annexed its suburbs just to say that they are the largest city in Ohio... :D )

He's right. Cleveland is also proof that welfare reform only works when there are jobs available. On top of that, our city and county government care more about making downtown a playgroud for suburbanites and tourists (stadiums, rock hall, etc.) than trying to attract new businesses and nurture the ones we already have.
