Forbes Still Boss in Cleveland as Charter Vote Looms
The piece argues George Forbes would remain the city's dominant figure even if a charter amendment limiting council presidents passes. It notes potential five plus power dynamics, voting patterns by wards, Brady's lone council support, and pro Forbes business backing, with momentum tied to MLK Day anniversary and a forthcoming charter review commission due in November.

Lake Erie Drives Lorain County Tourism Growth
Lorain County expects a 9 to 10 percent tourism uptick this year led by Lake Erie's appeal, with bed tax revenue targeting at least $25,000 more. The county had a 11 percent bed tax rise to 276,781 last year and over 50,000 total growth since 1984, while literature drives show strong interest from visitors and bus tours. Development plans in Lorain, including waterfront projects and a casino, could add motel capacity beyond the current 1,300 rooms.
