Here is an interesting hypothesis we conducted regarding the implications that the recent 200 Public Square skyscraper sale could have on the public schools and safety forces as a result of a huge reduction in future tax revenue from the property. #officesale #ClevelandOhio #commercialrealestate
The recent sale of 200 Public Square has surprising results to our community; specifically Cleveland's public school system and safety forces. Overall, the loss in tax revenue due to the steep discount of the recent 200 Public Square sale could impact approximately 50 jobs (30 teachers and 20 police officers and/or firefighters). With healthcare costs factored in, the impact becomes approximately 40 jobs (24 teachers and 16 police officers and/or firefighters). Check out our full analysis below. Matt Orgovan

Gen-Z is ending 2023 with formidable strength & remarkable momentum. What started as an idea (just 6 months ago) has quickly grown into a national network of volunteers spanning 35 states, reaching millions on social media, & building a robust and grassroots fundraising army to take on the Turning Point USA machine. We’re young, we’re scrappy, & we’re surging faster than ever in making sure students across the country are offered a choice between democracy or fascism. Together, let’s head into the next year ready to correct the record, engage young voters, & mobilize a new generation of democracy defenders to re-elect President Joe Biden and solidify our generation’s place in history. 2024, here we come!

[Update: This program is scheduled for the anniversary of the first Decoration Day at Andersonville in 1869. This event was a protest of Confederate Decoration Day and involved African American children decorating the graves of the prisoners (and the guards) before daylight on April 27--a massive "preemptive" decoration of ~13,200 graves.] I am saddened-but-not-shocked to see this program scheduled for the weekend of so-called Confederate Memorial Day at Andersonville National Historic Site. I'm reminded of the saying, "don't attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by ignorance." Andersonville NHS suffers from consistent staffing problems. They cannot seem to recruit or retain interpretive staff who are up to the task of managing the place where 13,000 U.S. soldiers perished--slowly, by inches--for want of adequate shelter, wholesome food, and clean water. This has been a problem for years. What's sad isn't that it's offensive, it's that the people putting it on might not know why it should be offensive. I can't imagine Manzanar National Historic Site inviting the public to learn how to march like the Army Military Police guarding the internment camp or a generic "World War II soldier." I'd be surprised if Sand Creek National Monument brought kids in to drill like Colorado militiamen. I doubt anyone would rebuild HMS Jersey, where Americans were imprisoned during the Revolutionary War, so that kids could learn about life as a British sailor. And here the U.S. government encourages children to dress up as guards at the deadliest Confederate prison. In recent decades, historic sites have been under great scrutiny to improve their educational programing. Many of these sites have risen to the challenge of telling difficult histories. The National Park Service could do a better job than they're currently doing here. This is a travesty.
