Tim Ryan for Congress, 1600 Roosevelt
Avenue, Niles, OH 44446
Tim Ryan is a dynamic leader
in the U.S. House of Representatives and is a strong advocate for the people of Northeast Ohio. Twenty-nine-year-old Ryan
took office in January 2003 and was the youngest Democratic Member of the House. In 2010 he introduced the Currency Reform
for Fair Trade Act, which sought punitive trade tariffs on countries like China that were engaging in currency manipulation.
Tim is a former member of the Appropriations committee and currently serves on the Budget and Armed Services committees. He
is Co-Chair of the Congressional Manufacturing Caucus and has led the fight to strengthen America’s manufacturing base
and reform U.S. Trade policies. He has also promoted policies that will help American manufacturers obtain a skilled
and educated workforce, develop new industrial technologies, obtain capital, and to be able to operate on a level playing
field with foreign competitors. Congressman Ryan’s primary focus is to improve the economy and quality of life in Northeast
Ohio. He has worked to advance projects that enhance economic competitiveness, revitalize “rust-belt” cities and
will help attract high-quality jobs throughout the entire Northeast Ohio region.

County Prosecutor Candidate Accountability Action
Monday, February 20, 2012
7:00 - 9:00 p.m.
Anshe Chesed
Fairmount Temple
23737 Fairmount Blvd., Beachwood 44122
The March 6 primary election for the position of Cuyahoga
County Prosecutor is of great importance to Greater Cleveland Congregations' goal for fair and equal treatment of all persons
in all aspects of the criminal justice system. Bill Mason, current County Prosecutor, is retiring and five candidates-Subodh
Chandra, James McDonnell, Tim McGinty, Robert Triozzi and Stephanie Hall-are running for the open seat.
At GCC's County Prosecutor Candidate Accountability Action meeting
on Feb. 20, GCC members will ask the candidates to commit to improving the way the office handles crucial issues in the criminal
justice system.
The GCC Criminal Justice
Team has identified the following issues of concern which are directly influenced by the County Prosecutor:
* Adequate representation for the accused.
* Use of over-charging
in felony cases.
*
Availability of diversion and treatment programs for non-violent offenders.
* Treatment and care of children in the juvenile justice system.
GCC cannot and does not endorse candidates.
Also at the Feb. 20 event, GCC will hold a Health and Human
Services levy campaign rally.
The Cuyahoga County Executive and Council have put on the March 6 ballot a request for a renewal of an expiring 4.8
mill Health and Human Services Levy to continue the provision of critical services to those in need. The levy (issue 15 on
the ballot) will raise approximately $139.7 million in 2012. This funding goes primarily toward:
- Services for children and families
- Services to senior citizens
- Mental health/alcohol and drug-addiction
services
- Metro
Health
- Other
programs
The renewal levy will continue at an annual
rate of $147 per $100,000 in property value. Levy funding affects all of GCC's issue areas:
* Health Care: $36.1 million for Metro Health (which
will draw down an additional $64 million in federal funding that will provide health coverage to 26,000 more people) and $33.6
million for mental health/substance abuse services.
* Education: $11.3 million for early childhood education
* Criminal Justice: $15.5 million for juvenile court
services, $2 million for the office of re-entry, $300,000 for the public defender
* Jobs: $10.5 million for employment services
* Food Accessibility: $250,000 for OSU
Extension Center urban agriculture programs.
Everyone attending the Feb. 20 meeting is encouraged
to bring their vote-by-mail ballots as a symbol of GCC's voting power.
