The Citizens League of Greater Cleveland
The Citizens League of Greater Cleveland seeks to achieve integrity, efficiency, and transparency in local and county government by promoting citizen education and involvement.
In November 2009, the voters of Cuyahoga County approved Issue 6, ushering in a new era of county government. By that vote, the citizens rejected both an inefficient governmental structure and a corrupt political culture marked by officials who exploited that structure for personal gain.
For more than 100 years, The Citizens League fostered citizen involvement in government. After a short absence, it returned in April 2010 in order to advocate for and safeguard the structural and cultural change that the voters demanded.
In October 2010, The Citizens League completed its evaluation of the candidates for the office of Cuyahoga County Executive through the Candidates Program. Using the pull-down menu above, you can review the Digital Dossiers™, which provide background information on each candidate, and the endorsement. In 2012, The Citizens League provided the same information for the candidates for County Prosecutor for the March 6 primary election. The Citizens League will do the same for candidates for County Council for the 2012 general election.
As a result of its 2011 strategic planning process The Citizens League chose to focus its efforts on supporting the new county government. In addition to the continued work of the Candidates Program, programming for 2011 and beyond will support the County Council, coordinate the efforts of other good government groups, create a home for former members of the transition groups, create a non-profit center for citizen education, and provide strategic input to the Executive and the Council.
