  • How to request a public record in Cleveland

    Cleveland, OH
    Other

    This explainer by Signal Cleveland Staff (April 12, 2026) describes how residents can request public records from Cleveland government agencies. Public records—including emails, contracts, police body camera video, and spending records—are legally accessible in Ohio and enable residents to monitor tax spending and hold officials accountable. Records are available through three channels: online databases (City Hall legislation, court records, county property data), in-person at City Hall (601 Lakeside Ave.), or by filing a request through the Cleveland Public Records Center, which requires creating an account and specifying a time frame and department. The Cleveland Metropolitan School District maintains a separate public records request system. Effective requests should be specific and time-bound rather than broad.

  • TEXAS PUBLIC POLICY FOUNDATION RESEARCH JUNE 2022 by Vance Ginn, Ph.D.

    Dallas, TX
    Other

    This Texas Public Policy Foundation research brief from June 2022, authored by Chief Economist Vance Ginn and Policy Director James Quintero, argues that Dallas and Dallas County have grown their budgets faster than population growth plus inflation over the past decade, resulting in higher taxes for residents than necessary. The authors propose that both governments adopt a Responsible Local Budget standard capping spending growth at population growth plus inflation, either through voluntary ordinance or charter amendment. The brief recommends that the Texas Legislature pass a state-level spending growth limit for all local governments, requiring a two-thirds supermajority vote to exceed the population-plus-inflation threshold, similar to a 2021 state budget limit.
