Cleveland priorities?

You know, I wrote a post a while ago about how nice it was to see our airport looking so much more welcoming since Frank Jackson took over City Hall.

And it's nice to learn that Cleveland is one of the first cities to set up a mobile response unit for fighting bio-chemical attacks on the city. But I can't help wondering how this could take priority over solving our school problems, re-energizing our downtown, and helping our entrepreneurial community.

Well, maybe Mayor Frank's strategy is to come up with a lot of high-visibility things to make Cleveland look good right now--and hope that the world will take notice of us as a trendsetter (or something) and then send us more people and more businesses that will help fund the repairs on the more important things. Could be the cart before the horse, but who knows? If you put enough hay into the cart, the horse might get the picture faster...

Anyway, Mayor, I hope you didn't spend too much time on this one.
