Cuyahoga County Executive Supports Health and Human Services Levy
What happened
Cuyahoga County is supporting Issue 11, a levy for the county-run Department of Health and Human Services. The levy renews the existing 4.7 mill levy and adds 2.5 mills, resulting in a total of $196 per $100,000 of a home’s value. County Executive Chris Ronayne spoke in support of the measure.

Why it matters
Advocates argue that passing the levy would prevent millions of dollars in program cuts. The levy funds essential services used by 500,000 people daily, including senior meals, child welfare, and mental health services.
Chris Ronayne has been appointed executive of Cuyahoga County, while the county council continues to debate executive leadership and policy direction.
