Councilman Blaine Griffin, chairman of the Health and Human Services Committee, hinted the funding could come from a new tax or foundation support or another source.

Cleveland Lead Advocates for Safe Housing (CLASH) has delivered what it says are 10,300 signatures to the Clerk of Council to petition for a change in the city's lead paint law. The proposed ordinance would require rental properties built after 1978 be safe from lead paint. CLASH attorney Rebecca Maurer says their proposal wants to flip the current method.
