Ed Morrison · Dan Moore blows a whistle on a bad deal
November 14th, 2008
Probably a more worthy focus for leadership than the convention center/Med Mart:
[W]e can defeat this takeover with local and state leadership galvanizing all levels of our community behind a “Save NCB” effort – including demonstrations and educational visits to Congress explaining the wastefulness and inequities of this shotgun wedding.
Should we allow National City to just fade away after 163 years, like a leaf blowing away in the wind? No way!
The Plain Dealer can do a great job explaining the lousy economics of the National City takeover and its overwhelming consequences for Cleveland. We must keep the heat on.
Cleveland shouldn’t give up on saving National City Bank
Carla Rautenberg adds this background from the Washington Post.

I’ve written a piece on leadership to appear in next wednesday’s cool cleveland, cleveland leader, lakewood buzz and what’s up in northeast ohio.
I will add an addendum because what Dan Moore said in the Plain Dealer is the kind of voice/voices Cleveland needs from the business community. A challenge or call to arms, whatever you call it. We need more people speaking what they feel and know and no matter who gets hard feelings.

Makes sense. If it’s going to be dismantled, save it and then do it slowly, in our own back yard, and use the parts locally. There’s way too much there to let Pittsburgh pick it clean. It’s also more efficient to do it all here, gradually, mercifully, intelligently. Business models change.
