Cuyahoga's $1B Debt, School Start Times and Cleveland Book Week

Cuyahoga County has built up a billion dollars of debt, and a new report by The Center For Community Solutions says the burden could hamper future development. We'll dig into the debt and its impact on government on The Sound of Ideas. Then, do students have sleep debt? Some schools are starting later in the day to combat that. And Cleveland Book Week begins with a book swap. How about my copy of The Sportswriter for your copy of Song of Soloman? Join us.
