It's everywhere--it's in the headlines, it's at the gas station and in the grocery store: signs of a troubled economy. And northeast Ohioans are feeling the pain--and the angst--as much as anyone. Steve Wertheim, who runs United Way's 211 First Call for Help line told us, "I've been in Social services in Ohio for 30 years. To make a long story short, I've never seen it this bad." How's the economy treating you? We'd like to know, so join the conversation Tuesday morning at 9.
