NEW CITY COUNCIL WEBSITE: Some time in the very recent past Cleveland City Council put up a new version of its website, and it's a big improvement... still pretty basic, but much user-friendlier than the old one. My favorite new features: the ward finder and the searchable City Charter and Ordinances.

Also, for those obsessing about the "regionalism issue", they've posted the full text of Council President Frank Jackson's City Club speech last Friday.
