Links to accompany the Bob Frantz interview
Here are a few of the links referenced from my interview with Bob Frantz.
I am working on another long form article to address recent developments.
Other links referenced can be found HERE.
This is the article from July 7th, 2024 where Clevelanddotcom finally drops the mask on their 9 County Regional Funding Strategy to fund, not only a new Cleveland Browns Stadium in Brook Park but looks to incorporate every Professional Sports Stadium and every Minor League Baseball Stadium in 9 County Region. Also bundled in are upgrades to Cleveland Hopkins Airport and Akron Canton Airport.
Here’s how a 1/4 percent sales tax can pay for new stadiums, airport and more for Northeast Ohio
In this article Clevelanddotcom ignores the negative feedback about their Regional Sales Tax proposal from social media to focus on their carefully curated and anonymous submissions that not only support their plan, but look to take it further.
Reader response largely positive to idea of a regional tax for Greater Cleveland stadiums, airports
Here is the interview with Leila Attassi on Channel 3 WKYC discussing Regionalism and downplaying the role our local officials play in representing their constituents and our desire for local control. She is visibly repulsed at the idea of teaming up with Billionaires to bring this plan to fruition, but understands it is essential to deliver us the new Regional Government they look to install.
Excellent interview John! Glad you got a plug in for your presentation at the MCFAN meeting on 7/27. See you then.
