When every day is election day: Early voting begins Sept. 28: September 23, 2010; Posted by: Gary Smith; Ohio law allows early voting to begin 35 days before the day of a primary or a general election. Personally, I like the “feel” of waking up in the morning, and before work, taking the ride to the poll with my seven-year-old daughter, and allowing her to participate in the process with me. I like “heading to the polls.” For those who know they won’t be in town on Election Day, however, or for college students away from home or senior citizens for whom it’s hard to leave home, early voting offers them a way to stay engaged in the process and have their voices heard.; Continue reading When every day is election day: Early voting begins Sept. 28; Comments (0); Tags: early voting, election, Cuyahoga County
Help Spread the Message in Support of Issue 1: April 30, 2010; Posted by: Gary Smith; Election day is this coming Tuesday! As May 4 approaches, the Greater Cleveland Partnership and other proponents of Issue 1—which would authorize a $700 million, four-year bond issue for the Ohio Third Frontier economic development program—are continuing to talk to our friends, family and colleagues about voting “YES” on this important issue.; Continue reading Help Spread the Message in Support of Issue 1; Comments (0); Tags: Ohio Third Frontier, economic development, Issue 1, United For Jobs and Ohio’s Future
The Third Frontier, a program that works, is placed on May ballot: February 03, 2010; Posted by: Gary Smith; We’re pleased to report that Ohio voters will get the opportunity this year to renew our state’s worthy Third Frontier program.

The Greater Cleveland Partnership (GCP) worked long and hard to encourage our state legislators to give voters the ability to extend this good program, which has proven itself as a creator of jobs and hope for all Ohioans. Legislators struck an agreement Tuesday night to place the issue on the ballot for renewal.

If voters in May decide to renew the Third Frontier—and we hope they do—it will mean an infusion of $700 million in our state over a four-year period beginning in 2012.; Continue reading The Third Frontier, a program that works, is placed on May ballot; Comments (0); Tags: Third Frontier, Ohio Department of Development
State of the State Address includes focus on job creation, entrepreneurship: January 26, 2010; Posted by: Gary Smith; After the colors were posted, Governor Ted Strickland gave his last State of the State address before he begins his campaign to seek reelection. In front of state agency directors, legislative leaders, members of Ohio's Supreme Court, and other distinguished guests, the Governor began his speech by touting the accomplishments of his administration over the last three years."Our renewal lies before us, not behind us", said Strickland as he presented his ideas for moving Ohio forward.; Continue reading State of the State Address includes focus on job creation, entrepreneurship; Comments (0); Tags: State of the State, job creation, entrepreneurship
Third Frontier program gets a green light from Ohio Senate committee: January 26, 2010; Posted by: Gary Smith; The Ohio Senate Finance and Appropriations Committee just passed, along a party-line vote, HJR12, a resolution which would continue Ohio's successful Third Frontier Program. The substitute version of the resolution provides for $500 million for the program over 4 years. The resolution, as amended, also provides $100 million for the Ohio Public Works Commission--for infrastructure.; Continue reading Third Frontier program gets a green light from Ohio Senate committee; Comments (0); Tags: Third Frontier, HJR12, Ohio Senate Finance and Appropriations Committee
