    CLEVELAND, Ohio - Twenty organizations and more than 90 people touched Northeast Ohio's bid to attract Amazon's second headquarters, a project that promises up to 50,000 jobs and a $5 billion investment over a decade, starting in 2019. But nobody's saying much about the contents of that proposal, which was submitted to Seattle-based Amazon by Team NEO, a nonprofit economic-development group, last week. In a meeting Monday, the private-sector representatives who shepherded the bid talked about ..

    Cleveland Cavaliers' bench bails team out against Bulls, strives to ...
    CLEVELAND, Ohio -- LeBron James played nearly the entire first quarter, scoring or assisting on 19 of the Cleveland Cavaliers' first 22 points before heading to the bench for his usual breather. The Cavs were trailing by 14 at the time, typically an ominous sign. In past years, the lead might have swelled with him as spectator. Not this season. Not with this revamped bench. "Thank God for our bench tonight, which was great," head coach Tyronn Lue said following the 119-112 come-from-behind win...

James played point guard, and recorded season highs with 34 points and 13 assists. According to ESPN's stats shop, James is the only active NBA player with at least 20 points and 10 assists posted from each of four starting positions. This was ..

    CLEVELAND, Ohio - A group that describes itself as a collection of mothers and grandmothers who live in Cleveland, has launched a drive to enact term limits for the mayor's office and Cleveland City Council.  The new group, Chasing Justice, hopes to collect enough signatures from registered voters to put their amendments to the city charter before voters. If they can collect them before the end of the year the issues could be on the March primary ballot.  The effort is an outgrowth of a sense ..

    CLEVELAND, Ohio-- The city of Cleveland and Mayor Frank Jackson claim the cost of cleaning up the lead that continues to poison hundreds of children every year in residential properties "could total in the trillions." The assertion is the result of an error in multiplication of what are widely considered high estimates for lead abatement costs. It was in a document city officials sent to The Plain Dealer on Friday. City officials were responding to questions posed to Jackson's campaign about hi..

    Matt ZoneWilliam Rieter/rieter photography  Four-term Cleveland Councilman Matt Zone may not be running for mayor, but he was the hands-down winner of this year's Cleveland mayoral debate at the City Club.

  • Taking On the Man

    Taking On the Man
    When Ward 6 Councilwoman Mamie Mitchell stepped down for health reasons in May, she hand-selected the city's community relations director, Blaine Griffin, to replace her. Much of the backroom conversation at the time concerned the logistics of that decision: Mitchell had been ill for quite awhile.

Many of the Ward 6 council challen..
