Your ballot could vanish — and the weekend plans? 👀 Surprisingly fun.
Good morning, Cuyahoga County. Election season is getting complicated fast. Nearly 45,000 local voter registrations have been flagged for potential removal — a rate almost double the rest of Ohio combined — though nothing changes before November 3rd. That same ballot is stacking up quickly, with 10 municipal tax measures on deck, including two income tax increases. Meanwhile, county departments are quietly drafting worst-case budget scenarios if a critical health and human services levy doesn't pass. High stakes all around.
On the brighter side, consumer confidence may be dipping nationally, but Cuyahoga's weekend lineup is anything but gloomy — a Rat Pack tribute, a haunted house painting night, and a Music Feeds People anniversary show are all on deck. Fresh local listings are inside too.
