Local and County elections are coming up and people should plan to vote!  Local elections touch our lives in ways up close and personal and are in some ways more important than national elections for that reason and also in a smaller pool we have a bigger splash.

Major issues this time around include the election of Cleveland Heights City Council members, CH-UH School Board Members (remember Milikin!?), hotly contested mayoral and council elections in Beachwood, as well as several significant tax levies including Issue 81 providing for a $135 million dollar levy to support CH-UH public schools building renovation to the tune of an additional $200 annually per $100k home value, as well as levies for the Metroparks and Cuyahoga Health and Human Services.
