January 26 - February 2, 2005 Clinic Gives to Schools
CoolCleveland.com e-mail newsletter
In a welcome but somewhat surprising announcement, Cleveland Clinic chief executive Toby Cosgrove told the City Club last week that they would be spending $10 million over five years to help connect Cleveland Public Schools to the OneCleveland ultra-high-speed broadband network, and offering paid internships to top science students from every high school. The timing of the announcement appeared to be in response to a recent effort by Cuyahoga County Treasurer Jim Rokakis to encourage voluntary payments by the region's plethora of non-profits, such as the Clinic, which pay no taxes supporting public schools.

Policy Matters Ohio is a non-profit policy research organization founded in January 2000 to broaden the debate about economic policy in Ohio. Our mission is to conduct high-quality research promoting decisions which benefit our whole community. Given the challenges of a rapidly-changing economic system, rising wage inequality, new issues in education and changes in the way work is organized, it is imperative that Ohio workers have a voice in the economic debate.
Policy Matters provides real-world analysis focused on issues that matter to low- and middle-income workers in Ohio. Our findings are accessible to the public, the media, and policy makers. We hope to strengthen democracy by providing Ohio's citizens with the essential tools to participate in the public discussion on the economy. We believe this will result in economic policies that better reflect the public interest.
