Federal, Cleveland leaders continue fight over Burke Lakefront Airport | Reporters Roundtable

from Sound of Ideas · host Ideastream Public Media

We now know more about the firing of the Akron police officer who killed 15-year-old Jazmir Tucker. We'll tell you why the police union says that was the wrong move. As the data center debate continues across our state, a Canton location has invited the public in for a look around, while a leaked memo from the National Republican Senatorial Committee shows the GOP's concerns for how this issue might impact the Senate race in Ohio. Speaking of the Senate, federal support is lacking for Cleveland Mayor Justin Bibb's plan to close Burke Lakefront Airport, but he's not backing down. Also in Cleveland, public library workers are close to striking. Will they be able to get a deal on the books in time to prevent services being disrupted? For fans of America's Roller Coast, we'll fill you in on which Cedar Point staple has been nationally recognized. In Brook Park, we have the details on how the new Browns stadium is giving the I-X Center yet another reprieve from closing its doors, and stick around for the end of the show when we'll share which beloved boy band is coming to Rocket Arena this fall. We'll discuss those stories and more on the "Sound of Ideas Reporters Roundtable," hosted by Stephanie Haney, in for Mike McIntyre this week. Guests: - Glenn Forbes, Deputy Editor, Ideastream Public Media - Michelle Jarboe, Reporter, News 5 Cleveland, WEWS - Karen Kasler, Bureau Chief, Ideastream Statehouse News Bureau
