Happy New Year! With most local government meetings on hiatus for the holidays, Cleveland Documenters are getting a much needed break. In the meantime, we thought we’d take the opportunity to look back at the more than 200 public comments residents have made at Cleveland City Council this year.
Some residents come to speak about issues that directly affect them and their communities. Others come as part of an organization they represent or work for. In this week’s episode, we share 4 public comment highlights from last year. Stay tuned in for part 2 next week.
