Learn About Treating Cleveland as a Region

For quite some time now, there has been much discussion regarding how Cleveland and it's surrounding communities must stop wasting resources fighting each other for businesses and jobs and funding and combine forces to bring economic livelihood back to the area as a whole. This idea is know as Regionalism and works on the premise that a large group of communities working together and sharing resources can form a stable and powerful entity that can attract businesses and centralize infrastructure lowering overhead costs.

Another idea that sounds so damn logical.

Recently an organization names Voices and Choices launched an online survey called Choicebook
..."that will describe the tough choices facing Northeast Ohio and give you a chance to express your preferences about how we should invest our resources to turn Northeast Ohio's economy around."

It takes about 15 minutes to complete a section and there are 6 sections. However, you can save completed sections and come back later to finish the entire book, you also don't have to complete ALL the sections, just the ones that you want. It is like taking the SAT's when you were already accepted at the college of your choice. Well, no, it isn't like that at all.

I thought it was a great way to learn about what the issues were that other people felt were important.
