Cleveland City Councilman Zach Reed is leading a petition drive to get the Cuyahoga County sales tax .25% increase put on a ballot for voters to have their say. The Cuyahoga County Commissioners have voted 2-1 to impose the quarter percent increase without the vote of the people. The increase would fund a new convention center and a medical mart downtown.
Reed says Commissioners Jimmy Dimora and Tim Hagan are at fault for not putting this on a ballot before the residents of the county. He says his group will now circulate petitions to try and get more than 45-thousand signatures to force the issue onto the ballot next year.
