Cleveland budget hearings focus on public safety

Season 2024 Episode 7 | 26m 46s

Cleveland Council began hearings this week on Mayor Justin Bibb’s budget proposal. A main focus in this week’s hearing has been on public safety and how the mayor plans to recruit more officers into the Cleveland Police Department ranks. The city has a police force today that numbers several hundred fewer officers than in 2020. The budget hearings top this week's discussion on Ideas.
