Dew Diligence - Episode 38 - Anthony Mattox
Oct 14Tap to summarizeI admit I was a little nervous about how this one would go. But then Councilman Anthony Mattox started off this episode of Dew Diligence with nothing but kind words for interim Mayor Tony Cuda, I picked my jaw off the ground and we rolled on from there. We are the only two candidates in the race running solo. Will one or both of us break the slate? We will find out November 4th.

Oct 3Tap to summarizeThis week on Dew Diligence, get to know City Council Candidate Joe DeWitt-Foy. I have serious concerns that a stint on Cleveland Hts City Council might ruin Joe's relentless positive vibes, but he says he's ready. We dig into why he's running as well as recapping what was a big week in Cleveland Hts politics- Kahlil Seren is no longer mayor, Tony Cuda is our interim mayor and Law Director Bill Hanna was fired and re-hired in the span of 24hrs. Its been wild. And we are just a month away from election day.
Transcribe →Dew Dilgence - Episode 36 - Jessica Cohen
Sep 29Tap to summarizeThe "inevitable" Jessica Cohen for Cleveland Heights City Council sits down with the evitable me for one of my favorite conversations I've had on Dew Diligence. I think if Jessica lived in Minnesota or Illinois or some New England state, you'd be looking at someone just getting started, on her way to being elected state-wide. For now, she's stuck with us.After 12 years of service on various Cleveland Heights boards and commissions, her path to a seat on city council looks pretty clear. From the "Livable Neighborhoods" initiative, to vouchers, to her experience being dragged into the public spotlight through a pending lawsuit against the city, we cover a lot of ground.
