1. Your humble clips compiler missed you all on Monday, but I compiled no clips that day because there was literally nothing published that was worth talking about. Today is actually the same. To wit: The only piece on our roster is titled “Why Ohio ballots are packed with school levies — and how we got here”. But, since the piece doesn’t list steadily-shrinking student enrollment or districts using temporary pandemic money to fund permanent staff positions they can no longer afford, I respectfully submit that its nearly 1,000 words combine to say nothing worth talking about. Just like on Monday. (News 5 Cleveland, 4/28/26)
