“[T]o the shock of no one, the Plain Dealer Editorial Board can’t support the County Commissioners sales tax to pay for a new convention center fast enough” says Chas Rich:
I just have to point to a clear bit of confusion within the paper itself.
It could mean 50 medical trade shows, 300,000 visitors and $330 million in direct spending, each year. Attendance at medical trade shows is up. And these participants take longer trips and spend more, as Sarah Hollander reports in her story today on Chicago’s experience with a merchandise mart.
[Emphasis added.]
Whoops. There is no story today. I’ve torn apart an actual print version looking for the story. There’s nothing in a name search for her on the site (and don’t even get me started on the “convention center” section). Apparently the PDEB has read the story and finds it good. Too bad we don’t even see it. Maybe tomorrow.
