KJP: Do you think that 16 counties is perhaps over-reaching? I am a huge proponent of regionalism... but I fear that this may be too broad in geographic scope. Perhaps a 7 county Cleveland/Akron tax base / land use district would be more appropriate. I fear that far-flung rural areas could have too much power.
Any idea as to which 16 counties will be included? Will it include the Youngstown, Sandusky, or Mansfield areas?
