The push to reform Cuyahoga County government is on and so is the debate over what that restructuring should look like.

The current reform plan being considered would replace the three-member board of commissioners with an elected county executive and 11-member council with many county offices being eliminated. Will this plan implement a more effective, efficient, and financially and economically viable county government structure that better serves the people of Cuyahoga County?

On June 25th, a panel of local representatives will present a range of perspectives on the proposed reform and engage the public in an open discussion on this very timely topic. Join us as we explore this plan.
