During a special one-hour call in show, we'll discuss the merits of these arguments in favor of a new convention center and we'll weigh the flaws of the proposal. Our guests and your phone calls will explore the issue of whether or not such major investments offer any substantive return for individual taxpayers.
The arguments are out there for a new convention center:
* Cleveland needs to remain competitive
* Cleveland can attract more business downtown with a new convention center
* A new convention center downtown will help the whole region because of the increased traffic to the city
But how will a new convention center actually help your neighborhood and your pocketbook?
