Justin Bibb

After the Cleveland Browns on Tuesday escalated an ongoing legal battle with the City of Cleveland, Mayor Justin Bibb called the team's "scheme" to move out of the city a "betrayal to Ohio taxpayers."

Cleveland City Council’s changes paved the way for more safety and services, such as an additional $8 million to resurface and care for roads and the creation of new positions, but council members and the mayor couldn't strike a deal over neighborhood improvements.

Cleveland City Council voted to amend the city’s annual budget proposal to include an additional $4.6 million from the general fund for neighborhood improvements.

The law will also bar employees employers from inquiring about an applicant's salary history.

Mayor Bibb's driver was in a crash after turning on emergency lights and driving through a red light, he said, to rush the mayor to an 'emergency meeting.'

Bibb promised increased enforcement targeted at the city's violent crime "hotspots."

Cleveland’s recently-passed Residents First legislation will take a swing at something the city has struggled to do for years: hold out-of-state and absent landlords accountable to provide livable conditions.

Cleveland City Council and the mayor have come to an agreement on the budget, which will get a second reading Monday night.

Cleveland is cracking down on out-of-state and absent landlords after City Council passed a sweeping housing code overhaul Monday.

Bibb is planning to get projects on the lakefront and riverfront moving ahead, along with work at Hopkins and housing development on the city's Southeast side.
