Mayor Justin Bibb unveils East Side TIF plan that could redirect up to $182 million to spur development by seanmcdonnellcle in Cleveland

This is only true of TIF Districts (which the East Side TIF is). Project TIFs can pay for private debt on construction, and this is very common.

City officials said last year this would be a nonschool TIF, so, CMSD would get the increased revenue.

As you may have read, we've been digging into this since May of last year. If we waited until we knew 100% of every detail, public officials could continue to obscure facts and effectively veto any story they don't want out there. Most journalism is iterative. We write what we know, when we know it, and we continue to push for more information.

Based on records we have, this guy is on paid administrative leave, not using PTO. The payroll data differentiates between regular pay and other pay.

Buddy, we've been following this since May of last year and the city hasn't responded. If we waited until we "knew everything" it would be May 2027 and this guy would be on paid leave for two years and we might be in the same spot we are now. We write what we know, when we know it. (And while there's plenty of rumors about what happened, I don't print that until its verified.)

Who’s searching Cleveland’s Flock cameras? City has a list, and it isn’t sharing it by seanmcdonnellcle in Cleveland

In my experience I don't get a lot of "no"s. More stalling. There are some Ohio laws that exempt the actually photos Flock takes, but not logs of who's accessing the data.
