Percentage of Income Payment Plan (PIPP)

Data presented during Akron's Health Equity Summit showed the rate at which black infants died before reaching their first birthdays dropped in 2020, but it also showed that Black people died at a greater rate from diseases including COVID-19; Another strike by 275 teachers at Garfield Heights City Schools is planned if they don't reach an agreement with the school administration; and more stories.

Those enrolled in Ohio’s Percentage of Income Payment Plan Plus, a public program that promises to cut utility costs for low-income people, may not actually be getting a reduced rate.
