We won’t have an episode on Monday. We’re taking the vacation. I’m Chris Quinn right here at Lisa. Laurie Johnston Courtney’s model payment. And I’ve a particular announcement that you just’re right here.

First. We’re going to attempt to have on this podcast, a dialogue with the listeners, we are able to accommodate as much as a thousand company that we are able to carry on separately. And the aim of the dialogue might be, can we give you a framework for the inevitable constitutional modification that might be earlier than voters in Ohio to acknowledge the best to abortion.

This might be after the legislature Outlaws it. That is just about a assured path. There are quite a lot of issues to speak about with that. We’re going to do it at midday on June seventh. That’s a Tuesday. For those who’re obtainable and also you wish to be part of us, ship an e-mail to seeQuinn@cleveland.com [00:01:00] and put abortion podcast within the topic line.

As we get nearer, we’ll ship you a hyperlink and you may be part of us. We’ve been speaking about this for a very long time, Laurie Johnston, and I would be the hosts. It’ll be an fascinating endeavor. In all probability what? Plenty of glitches, however Lara. This might be fascinating. I

Laura: actually do suppose this might be fascinating and hopefully thought upsetting.

I hope that we make individuals rethink what they believed and, and sort of, you understand, take heed to me.

Chris: Nicely, and this can be a dialog for almost all of America that believes there’s a proper to abortion. For those who’re utterly anti-abortion, you consider abortion is homicide, respect that, however don’t take part on this.

And in case you’re of the opposite thoughts the place abortions are, proper, and there needs to be no parameters and no one ought to say something. Good, good. We respect that. However actually not a part of this dialog, we’re in search of individuals of excellent religion which might be struggling. What the foundations needs to be to speak about how you’ll vogue that constitutional modification [00:02:00] sequented cleveland.com and put abortion podcast in your topic line.

Let’s get began. What anticipated prohibition on abortion criminalized in vitro fertilization? What are a few of the different predictor? Unintended penalties, Laura, the hearings are happening as a result of as we simply mentioned, Ohio was dashing to make it unlawful. Regardless that nearly all of Ohioans don’t need them to do this.

What are a few of the individuals testifying saying about their set off regulation? That’s transferring by means of the legislature. Yeah.

Laura: There are some unintended penalties that I had not considered. And I don’t know that most individuals had thought of, however physician mentioned that the best way that. Invoice 5 ninety eight outlined a quote unborn baby as a homosapien organism that has been fertilized.

That definition may make IVF unlawful as a result of you may have multiple, um, embryo that you could possibly implant that it additionally would possible improve the state’s already excessive toddler and lady morbidity and mortality charges intrude on a affected person doctor [00:03:00] relationship presumably end in physicians fleeing the state as a result of they will’t absolutely apply medication.

These are all issues that the physician mentioned. In the course of the third committee listening to for this invoice the place principally it was opponent testifying. Um, this set of president doesn’t need any set off invoice to cross till he sees a Supreme courtroom determination as a result of he needs it to be hermetic, however that is nonetheless taking place.

Chris: Yeah, and it’s fascinating as a result of it’s not what individuals need. Clearly, each ballot exhibits, it’s not what individuals need. Individuals do acknowledge the best to abortion, however these guys are hanging purple meat for the far proper. Fringes of their celebration. And due to gerrymandering, they’ve the disproportionate illustration within the legislature.

In order that they’re going to Ram this by means of, nevertheless it’s assured. The, to have the rapid rebound of a constitutional modification, that’ll be on the poll subsequent 12 months to acknowledge

Laura: the best. Nicely, I imply, I don’t know that they care. I imply, in the event that they cared, they most likely wouldn’t be doing this. I imply, the Senate president is saying [00:04:00] don’t.

And so they’re doing it anyway. What’s fascinating is the docs introduced up some stuff. I hadn’t thought of abortions already banned after 20 weeks in Ohio that’s earlier than some deadly start defects and congenital disabilities are recognized. So individuals who select to have an abortion due to their baby is, um, is gained’t dwell anyway, has to fill out of state.

And that might occur increasingly more. And so they’re saying individuals with means are going to journey out of state. It’s the individuals with out means there are going to be. On this very troublesome scenario. And, and so there are the proportion of people who should undergo by means of their total pregnancies might be disproportionate by class revenue, ethnicity, and race, like, I imply, take into consideration.

Chris: I’m a bit shocked that you just’re not already seeing the transfer on the constitutional modification, as a result of that is inevitable and it simply, it, it, this the one approach it’s going to get mounted, you possibly can’t depend on the lawmakers. They’re dishonest. They don’t signify individuals the one approach for Ohioans to get [00:05:00] what they need on that is to do it themselves.

And but, I don’t suppose I’ve seen something about the place one thing is being mentioned but. I assume it’ll come try the story on cleveland.com. It’s at this time in Ohio. Lee Weingart has pegged. Good little bit of his marketing campaign for Cuyahoga county government up to now on opposing any extra spending of valuable tax {dollars} on the failed medical Mart.

Now we discover he was one of many low cost proponents to get the factor constructed and the cash for it within the first place. Courtney, I can’t consider this story after I first heard it. I assumed, no, there’s no approach he could possibly be that dumb

Courtney: varied, proper. You possibly can hear just like the circus music taking part in within the background. Um, you understand, proper there blazing out.

Lobbying corporations. Web site, they’re touting, he’s touting brazenly to the general public that he ushered by means of the adjustments in Ohio regulation that had been wanted to construct this complete factor again in, you understand, this occurred in, in oh seven was when he bought these adjustments authorized. [00:06:00] So previous to the, to, to Weingard’s lobbying efforts, you understand, conference facilities had been to be owned by customer bureaus.

Um, he ushered by means of adjustments that allowed the county. To personal and handle the conference heart and in addition helped add a bit to the ORC that lets commissioners elevate 1 / 4 % gross sales tax to fondant. So not solely, he additionally contributed to 2 taxpayers footing the invoice, um, which is why.

Chris: Nicely, what’s wild about that’s he’s the man that when Armand Buddhists mentioned, I’m going to make that quarter % tax everlasting mentioned, no, no, I would like that on the poll.

I would like that on the poll. And he’s the man that bought the regulation put in that enables them to do it unilaterally. I imply, that’s nearly the peak of hypocrisy. I, what surprises me about that is again in 2007, he didn’t know that 15 years later, he may be working for county government. Positive. He lobbied for it.

He bought the enterprise for it. All people’s [00:07:00] bought to earn an revenue one way or the other pay for his or her household. What, what boggles my thoughts is figuring out that he did all that, that he opened his mouth, all of it within the marketing campaign. He may have simply not mentioned something. Proper. , the problem comes up. He doesn’t should say something.

Nicely, they’re going to resolve that earlier than the subsequent executives in. So it doesn’t actually matter what I believe, however he went giant. Pounded on Chris Rowe identify for waffling on it. And he’s screamed from the mountains that no, this could cease. This can be a wasted effort and this needs to be on the poll. And it’s like, okay, this was assured to explode in your face the best way it’s

Courtney: now.

Nicely, what I discovered fascinating right here is after I report her Katelyn turbine first talked to him about it. And he didn’t keep in mind, or he mentioned he wasn’t conscious that he’d executed this work some time in the past. Um, after which she talked to him later and he’s like, oh, yep, you’re proper. We did do that work bought $49,000 paid by the county to do that work.

However like, in case you’re working for county government and you probably did genuinely neglect it, when [00:08:00] the reporter first brings it to you, like, like button up your camper, you understand, get your stuff collectively. Slightly.

Chris: Nicely, and the way do you neglect you made cash on the factor that’s within the heart of your marketing campaign? I imply, that’s battle troubling.

It’s your reminiscences that week? What else? Don’t you keep in mind? I actually, I didn’t consider this. When this primary got here up, Layla known as and mentioned, Hey, we’ve bought a fantastic story going. It’s like, no approach. There’s simply no approach that could possibly be true. And it’s true. And he actually does seem like a little bit of a buffoon at this time. It’s at this time in Ohio.

What’s the hail Mary strategy. One Ohio Democrat is utilizing to take care of the refusal by elected Republicans stuff. Observe the Ohio structure and undertake honest legislative BAPS. Lisa, that is tilting at windmills, however we preferred tilting at windmills. What’s at stake right here.

Lisa: Yeah, you bought to like this man’s gumption.

This can be a democratic Parma lawmaker, Jeff Crossman, who was additionally the democratic nominee for Ohio legal professional [00:09:00] normal. He despatched a grievance to the state freeway patrol, requesting an investigation into the redistricting committee’s failure to cross the constitutional maps. So, uh, he cited in Ohio regulation that claims, quote, no public servant shall recklessly fail to carry out an categorical, an obligation expressly imposed by regulation.

Uh, the cost can be dereliction of responsibility. It’s a second diploma misdemeanor. It will be 90 days in jail and, or a $750 advantageous. The state freeway patrol, why it ended up there’s that that they’ve jurisdiction over the Ohio state home. So this investigation, if it goes on, I assume it would. Findings might be dealt with.

To the Columbus metropolis attorneys that Klein, after which he’ll resolve if expenses might be forwarded to the Franklin county municipal courtroom.

Chris: Yeah. , we talked approach again when the wine and firm began to abrogate their, their obligations about. What cures [00:10:00] there are. And we noticed that in case you don’t do your job, you could be faraway from the job, nevertheless it’s a very laborious course of for it.

Prices cash. You must get petitions signed. I imply, they’re clearly aggregating their obligations. They clearly have defied the structure. In order that they qualify to get thrown out of workplace for malfeasance, misfeasance, regardless of the time period was, however no one has the time or cash to go forward and do it. This can be a totally different take.

We didn’t take into consideration this one. That is much less onerous on any particular person, nevertheless it places it into the arms of legal investigators. Yeah, it’s

Lisa: a reasonably fascinating tactic. Nicely, I, we don’t know {that a} work on this purple state, nevertheless it’s, you possibly can’t fault him for attempting and Dan Tierney, uh, governor Duane’s flax mentioned this can be a political stunt and it’s like, like the entire map-making course of, wasn’t a political stunt they usually additionally accused Crossman of faking in.

As a result of they, you understand, apparently he [00:11:00] didn’t come to the state home to vote on a few constitutional amendments on Wednesday, however he was noticed later at a fundraiser face. In order that they accused him of faking an sicknesses, which is fairly lame and determined.

Chris: Yeah. You gotta watch out about accusing any individual of faking an sickness trigger you don’t actually know what’s happening.

I imply, throughout, in the course of the pandemic, I believe all of us have been very. To query anybody that claims they’re not feeling effectively, it’s a, that’s a dangerous transfer. I that Dan Tierney, he’s the spokesman. He’s going to say what he says. There could be little doubt that Mike DeWine utterly failed the residents of Ohio in his function, on the redistricting fee, together with the remainder of them, they didn’t do this.

They, they willfully defied orders of the Supreme courtroom to not do their job. And in case you don’t do your job there, there’s, there needs to be cures as a result of once you ran for workplace and took an oath to serve the residents and comply with the structure, you haven’t executed it. So the integrity may say no matter he needs.

Mike DeWine is clearly within the incorrect right here. [00:12:00] Good for Jeff Crossman it’s at this time. With slightly greater than two weeks earlier than Ohioans can carry hid weapons with out permits. We took a take a look at how we bought right here. The lengthy succession of increasingly more liberal gun legal guidelines within the state. Laura, what actually comes by means of in Jeremy Pelzer story is the, the 20 12 months plotting of professional gun individuals to get to at the present time, this.

Laura: Precisely. And that it began with the legalization of hid firearms with a allow. And also you needed to take a category in 2004, and that was sort of the start. And there are quite a lot of gun rights teams pushing for these adjustments. Crucial might be the Buckeye firearms affiliation, which was based in 2002.

And with the purpose of lobbying Ohio lawmakers, to cross these varied payments that loosened state gun legal guidelines, not just for. However ultimately to get to this breast ring with the hid carry, with out a license. And so they took a reasonably incremental strategy and quite a lot of [00:13:00] payments alongside the best way till a gaggle known as Ohio gun house owners confirmed up that was run by a man named Chris door.

And so they took a no-compromise perspective in direction of gun rights, principally saying, saying to lawmakers, in case you don’t vote for these payments, we’re going to run main opponents in opposition to you within the nest subsequent election. So bullying Republicans into supporting increasingly more. Um, free gun regulation.

Chris: Yeah, I, it, it actually what you wish to say.

It was nearly sinister since you had the date and the taking pictures after which in order that they wait, they look forward to the concern to die down they usually simply maintain coming and coming and coming, they usually had been very trustworthy on this story. Just about being diabolical in each step of the best way to get right here. This, this was what they wished once they first did hid, carry it, began with the allow after which goes additional and additional.

And invoice sights is quoted in there saying, you understand, 20 years in the past, I wouldn’t have thought that this might occur as a result of we didn’t even have the hid carry with [00:14:00] the allow. However as we bought nearer and nearer, it appeared like, yeah, we are able to do

Laura: that. And so they wished to cross this. They failed within the 20, 20, uh, session.

Eager to cross it in 2022, when Mike DeWine was going through a main opponent, as a result of he would really feel pushed right into a nook on signing this. And in case you keep in mind, he waited till the tenth day after which he signed it and repo, you understand, reporters requested him, how will you do that? You’re the one who was pushing for extra gun legal guidelines after Dayton.

And he mentioned, you understand, you get put in a tough place typically as governor. And he decided. I truthfully, although, We don’t have the identical sort of Republicans within the state legislature that we did in 2004. These are lots of people elected on the coattails of president, Donald Trump, their tradition warriors, who had been much more socially conservative than institution Republicans.

In order that they didn’t take quite a lot of arm twisting.

Chris: Yeah, we had been speaking to the newsroom the opposite day. Uh, one in every of our incoming reporters noticed Fb dialogue as a result of a lady was strolling, her gregarious canine and a man coming within the [00:15:00] other way, pulled out his gun and mentioned your canine’s going to get shot as a result of the canine was a gregarious.

And what was disturbing is all of the commenters are like, effectively, yeah, he’d be in his rights to shoot the canine. If the canine lunged.

Laura: So blew my thoughts. I imply, it, to be honest, it’s a beagle combine. We aren’t speaking a Rottweiler or a pit bull, and that was within the subsequent door remark. And I imply, I stroll at an 85 pound golden retriever who typically chases after squirrels.

And I can’t sustain with him. Like, is any individual going to come back shoot my canine? That’s terrifying.

Chris: Yeah, I, it’s terrifying as a result of I’ve at all times had Goldens they’re gregarious, particularly once they’re younger they usually wouldn’t harm a fly, however man, if any individual pulled out a gun to shoot them, that will what’ll occur.

Is that folks strolling, their canines will begin carrying weapons. So when the man pulls out his gun to shoot the canine, the canine on her, or pull out a gun and shoot the man, and we’re going to have simply open warfare on the streets, due to this effort, which you’ll learn all about on Cleveland dot. It’s at this time in Ohio.[00:16:00]

If employees realized in the course of the pandemic, that their lives are higher once they work at home. And if employers wish to maintain their employees joyful and on the job, why is town of Cleveland attempting to throw all of it that happiness by seducing? Cruising to coming again downtown. Now, Courtney, this can be a approach of asking the query in a facetious method, however there’s a kernel right here.

This metropolis is principally saying we don’t care how they really feel. We wish their cash. So we’re going to do what we are able to to seduce them into return.

Courtney: Yeah. This comes right down to income. Town’s normal fund is traditionally comprised. , about two thirds of revenue taxes. And that’s actually in danger with adjustments in work at home and other people keep in and their suburban properties as an alternative of reporting downtown.

So that is all aimed on the backside line, which is a severe concern. So town must be doing one thing to attempt, however we’ll, we’ll, we’ll, we’ll see if this isn’t an strategy that may actually make a dent. Um, I’m to see if it actually does an excessive amount of. Um, so the [00:17:00] metropolis in downtown Cleveland Alliance rolled out yesterday.

Plan keep up like, you understand, excuse me, black events downtown. I’m shutting down the streets as soon as every week to have canes and a spot to have meals. And, they usually wish to carry music to the downtown malls, which has by no means actually been activated considerably. In order that they’re attempting to make downtown Cleveland extra enticing for workplace employees as a part of the technique to get individuals to come back again.

Chris: Yeah. Nicely, let me ask you, you had been all working from residence. Would this. Uh, it

Lisa: would work for me,

Laura: Laura. I don’t know {that a} block celebration goes to get me, uh, to go away my suburban residence, however I applaud them. It’s {the summertime}. It’s nice to be with individuals and having fun with town. And, you understand, Steve lid had an enormous story about what sort of programming individuals wish to see on the shops.

I imply, it’s miserable to have these lovely areas that persons are not utilizing. So, I imply, I don’t suppose it’s essentially the most sinister factor. And I believe it’s a good time of 12 months. [00:18:00] I imply, they’re, they’re not attempting to do it when. Huddled up in our scarves and our hats. Proper. So take pleasure in summer time in Cleveland. It’s a stunning

Chris: Iowa, however, however, however, however they’re attempting to socially engineer, you pull

Laura: a cause to assemble.

I don’t know that that’s all unhealthy. Yeah.

Chris: Go along with, if that is turning into a pattern, why not trip the wave and appeal to individuals to dwell downtown as a result of they don’t wish to work downtown after which feed that closed lanes of site visitors put up playground. It’s

Laura: undoubtedly that’s particular level. They, they need to be doing to make it enticing for everybody, not simply individuals who commute downtown

Courtney: and don’t inform anybody Alliance even mentioned, you understand, to maintain downtown vigorous, to maintain the cash flowing.

Um, we, we do want that resident. However we additionally want the employee piece, the president piece alone can’t assist it.

Lisa: And I wish to level out, though you’re not downtown anymore, that you understand, now Cleveland dot comes newsroom is open in the future every week, and everybody has been [00:19:00] thrilled about it from all stories

Chris: in the future every week.

In order that the day

Laura: they need to shut down the road and have a celebration,

Chris: however then we’re not getting the work executed that we’re getting everyone collectively. It’s fascinating. It’s, it’s standing up in opposition to the tidal wave as an alternative of driving the tidal wave and attempting to capitalize on it. You’re listening to at this time in Ohio.

Is all of it as effectively? That ends effectively, for the case of the stolen $200,000 guitar in Cleveland, Lisa, what’s the obvious joyful ending to this story.

Lisa: Is it 200,000 or 20,000? I

Laura: suppose it’s

Lisa: 20,000 nonetheless an costly and beloved guitar, however yeah, and the guitar is called LA Rohit although. It was recovered by the Cleveland CAS classical guitar society.

That is such a really feel good story. This was stolen April 1st. Um, it, it. The guitars owned by Grammy profitable artist, Berta Rojas. [00:20:00] She had that guitar for 14 years. It’s performed in over 200 concert events. She was crestfallen. It was stolen from the automotive of the guitar, society occasions supervisor, John poor. They had been consuming lunch in Ohio metropolis, nevertheless it seems like safety cameras might have footage of the suspect.

Just a few blocks. Crime scene, however that is an fascinating story, the way it allowed Rohit to made it again residence. The CA the guitar’s advantageous. The customer bought it as a present for any individual, however they occur to lookup the main points of the instrument and found it was stolen. And they also turned it over to the classical guitar society, which is nice.

They might have mentioned nothing. So any individual clearly knew how vital this instrument was. And Ms. Rojas. , lateral HiTA is my companion. It’s my voice. She is thrilled to get him again

Chris: her again. Yeah. The, the, the person who offered it stored anonymity although, proper? Like we don’t know who the client was or who the vendor was, which, which they had been all advantageous with, however I ponder.[00:21:00]

If this story we’re being instructed is true, or whether or not the speculation lastly realized I’m by no means going to have the ability to promote this factor as a result of the entire world is in search of it. Let me make up a narrative, create a fictitious identify and have any individual come get it off my arms. Oh, that

Lisa: that could possibly be potential. However you understand, all she wished.

Was it again? She didn’t care. They weren’t going to ask questions anyway. She simply wished it.

Chris: And he or she wrote a beautiful letter to Cleveland and the Cleveland media and the preservation society. Simply thanking everyone for working so onerous on behalf of her guitar. It truly is sort of a neighborhood of musicians that got here collectively to, to get her her on the spot.

You might be listening to at this time in Ohio, how a lot does the Cleveland Metro park zoo spend annually on meals for all of the animals? And what’s on the grocery checklist. Laura, this can be a enjoyable one, tremendous

Laura: enjoyable. And Zachary Smith has three tales on the entire issues that the animals on the zoo eat. And it ran yesterday at this time and tomorrow.

On-line. It will likely be within the plain supplier over the weekend, together with some attractive [00:22:00] images from Dave peckerwoods, however the zoo spends about $630,000 on meals for its 2000 animals yearly, which I believe is low from what I anticipated. Yeah, me too. And shipped everywhere in the world. Fish can come from Norway and France vegetation come from Cleveland, 125,000 kilos of produce comes from everywhere in the United States.

However it’s actually cool. Like koalas solely eat the very like tender as a part of the eucalyptus. They spend about $68,000 on that yearly they use floor meat, um, carnivorous diets, get hard-boiled rooster, eggs, bugs, seafood, um, Herbivores like elephants and donkeys, all kinds of issues like corn, cucumber, mangoes, and blueberries.

Um, they do get particular bugs for the insectivores like clearly an anteater who additionally loves avocado. I realized from this retailer.

Chris: I actually was shocked that the low invoice, they clearly aren’t purchasing at evening. [00:23:00] I imply, I, I actually, I assumed it was going to be hundreds of thousands in, and the truth that that it’s that low is sort of cool.

Uh, however man, what a really dated bunch of meals that you must get in and ensure are advantageous for all of the animals.

Laura: Cool stuff on a regular basis. Animals are getting the very same meals day-after-day. Clearly they’re rising, they’ve totally different wants for various seasons. And so the zookeepers are, are at all times attempting to get them the best issues for what they.

Chris: I’m glad they’re cooperative with it. They’re not at all times essentially the most cooperative individuals over on the Metro parks. It’s at this time in Ohio. How a lot will Cleveland airport pay for the airport resort that we talked about a couple of weeks again one that’s doing very poorly for the reason that pandemic started and what is going to change into of that constructing Courtney?

Yeah, the

Courtney: metropolis’s on the hook for $12 million right here to accumulate the Sheraton airport resort. That’s a results of. , some courtroom motion and, and, and, and an settlement that will get out of this lease [00:24:00] with the resort that, that runs by means of 2048. So town’s bought to pay out to get out of that long-term lease.

And, um, you understand, we, we talked a short time in the past, airport lodges, there are beginning to be much less, much less wanted, uh, and simply with airport traits and air journey traits. However, um, so town goes to show it right into a car parking zone.

Chris: Yeah, they undoubtedly want the parking areas. Uh, though there isn’t a phrase on once they’ll truly tear it down, however apparently it’s closing the day after Memorial day.

Yeah. I assumed

Courtney: that was fascinating. Reporter Susan Glazer sort of bought into it. She known as to see if she may make a reservation they usually weren’t taking, they weren’t taking reservations past that. So it seems prefer it’s, it’s closing right here quickly, however nobody formally mentioned yep. Operations are over in a couple of

Lisa: days.

Chris: Okay. Keep in Ohio. Okay. Right here we go. In honor of this being the Eve of our 2022 summer time, I’m going to make a concession to the others on this podcast [00:25:00] and throw open the ground for a seashore glass dialogue. Lisa you’re into it large time. And Laura is studying the drill holes in it for crying out loud. What’s the attraction.

Lisa, you begin

Lisa: effectively, and there’s a Fb web page known as lake Erie. Love the place individuals put up their fines, you understand, and it’s largely seashore glass, though there’s driftwood and others, however individuals, the widespread thread is it’s there. You’re open air. You’re within the solar. You’re subsequent to the lake. You’ve bought the birds and all the things.

However after I first moved again to Cleveland in 2017, I stored going to Euclid seashore as a result of it was my childhood park. And it wasn’t a declare by Metro park, however I’m strolling alongside having fun with it. And right here’s this lovely piece of frosty seafoam glass simply laying there. And so I decide it up. I go searching there’s extra, there’s totally different colours and I assume an dependancy was born, however I usually exit, you understand, perhaps as soon as every week or, you understand, twice a month.

And I’ve my very own particular honey [00:26:00] gap the place I’ve I’ve stored it a secret. However yeah, it’s a part of it’s like, like, Remedy, they’re open air, they’re alone. They’re communing with nature they usually’re discovering these fantastic treasures. And the one factor about lake Erie loves Fb web page too, is individuals put up their crafts.

I imply, Laura’s drilling gap. She’s going to make jewellery. There are seashore glass festivals. There’s one in Ashtabula developing. That’s an annual one, however individuals make mosaics. They make stepping stones. I imply, you understand, so it’s a solution to make trash.
