I'm kind of pleased to inform you I CAN'T run for mayor in 2013, seeing as I won't pass the residency laws at that time.
I also asked my councilman Kevin Kelly how many signatures anyone needs to run for mayor, he said 3,000 literally, or 5,000 in actuality.
SO, I'll work behind the scenes while at college, trying to absorb as much knowledge I can about the academic stuff, while simultaneously studying Cleveland and the stories/ideas of its people.
There are SO MANY people that want Cleveland to be better than the amazing parts here and there that we see; I think it's important to tap into that resource for all of our challenges.
Given that I cannot run, I'm looking to set up a forum/blog/resource page detailing what I and YOU think would be great things for a person seeking to be mayor of Cleveland would run on. If you know anyone with these skills, please let me know.
Some interesting sites:
urbanophile.com brings together articles/opinions on cities particularly in the midwest. This guy and his opinions are very cool.
theciviccommons.com most closely resembles what I want my site to be; it's a great site of Northeast Ohioans suggesting ideas on topics that effect some, or all of us.
gcbl.org identifies sustainability topics and news
Want my next blog to be on a specific topic besides news? Please let me know! :)
