Doing the right thing for our public schools SHARE
To restore hope, we need to agree
across the political spectrum on this principle of political pragmatism: minimum
necessary social intervention by government into our mixed economy
and civil society. Next, we should look
at the pros and cons of current social policies and compare them to the pros
and cons of a range of policy alternatives. Such a common-sense, bipartisan form of policy analysis, informed by
social-science research, can enable our democratic institutions to determine
the best mix of the public, nonprofit and market sectors to fund and to deliver
services and benefits addressing human needs in education, health, housing,
employment, human services, etc., and to do so in a way which advances economic
development.

Post public police documents online, in Cleveland and elsewhere: Michael A. Dover (Opinion) SHARE
Although there are many reforms needed, publicly posting policies and procedures can build trust, enhance knowledge, and stimulate public and police
involvement, as we work for more fundamental reforms. The first step to
changing policies and procedures should be to simply post them on a
website, along with the other recommended documents, and to assign
someone to post all new or revised public documents within a specific
period of time after approval.
The second step should be state legislation, county legislation, and municipal ordinances requiring this.
