BTW, the dolts at Cleveland.com are already hating this, saying Cleveland's financial problems will spread to other suburbs. First, Cleveland doesn't have a monopoly on budgetary constraints in Northeast Ohio. In fact, their situation is better than many suburbs. And, if anything, this regional governance proposal will help reduce the outward spread of financial, safety, economic and social problems farther and farther out from Cleveland's core.
Certainly there are suburbs with worse problems than Cleveland....but I suspect they are all inner ring. Absorbing those problems is indeed a real concern, and the naysayers have a point: the people that elected the leaders who brought about those problems would likely have more votes than those currently in better run towns.
There's really nothing to discuss here except a proposal without specifics and the size, which seems too big. It seems that so farregionalism works best when it remains small. The various deals between the suburbs in the old Bedford Township come to mind.
