One of the best run organizations in @USLLeagueTwo, @mplscitysc, is launching a NIL program, funded through merchandise sales, to pay its players. It's a unique structure that will pay financial dividends to Minnesota's amateur soccer players. protagonistsoccer.com/covera…

"And what about those multimillion-dollar tax gifts to help build new stadiums? In at least a few cases, studies found that the governments would have been better off handing the cash to people on the street..." tampabay.com/opinion/2024/04… via @GrahamBrink

We're one week away from my birthday and my fundraiser event! I'm excited for food from Never Say Dive and bowling at The Nash. Getting your tickets in advance really helps. And if you cannot make it in person, every donation helps. secure.actblue.com/donate/re…

On average, the Cleveland schools forgo nearly $29 million a year for tax abatements meant to seed new housing and businesses in the city. Alone, not enough to close CMSD's budget hole, but nothing to sneeze at either. signalcleveland.org/cash-str…

And carryover from last year is $46 million! Could fund three years of PB!
2% of $778.7 million in the General Fund budget is $15.6 million.

Where could the money for participatory budgeting possibly have come from? “This year, Cleveland appropriated $56 million that was left over thanks to vacant positions and unexpectedly high revenue.” From @signalcleveland this morning.

Earlier, Rebecca Maurer mentioned that eliminating/limiting public comment makes it seem like Council is scared of its residents and what they have to say. This comment, which she stands by, seems to have offended several of the (notably male) members of council.

🚨🚨🚨 breaking update: the bill has been pulled and will not be voted on.
🚨Over the weekend Council leadership quietly proposed Ord. 1035-2023 for a vote TODAY. It would allow the City to spend public taxpayer dollars to run a private vote no campaign against participatory budgeting. It's a pure power grab that undermines public trust. I'm appalled.

This has been on my mind - glad to see one of CM Slife's ward constituents ask.
Replying to @ADayInTheSlife
Councilperson, since you’d like questions asked of you from those you are representing, how do u feel about using my taxes to pay for council’s stance to be sent to me on ballot issues? How would u vote on this usage of tax dollars?

Clown show from Council leadership. 🤡
This is scary stuff! And if you’ve been in Cleveland long enough, you know it’s from the same playbook of anti-Democratic tactics used to squash other citizen led movements — $15 min wage, Q Deal, CLASH.
