Chancellor Eric Fingerhut made news on Tuesday when he publicly declared his intention to submit a proposal by January 1 to develop a higher education "system" in Northeast Ohio. Unfortunately, his remarks didn't get any attention from the news media until today. WCPN aired a report on his remarks here. It's definitely worth listening to. He also made similar comments to the Youngstown Vindicator, and you can read their story here.

Fingerhut said he will be counting on the Northeast Ohio Universities Collaboration and Innovation Study Commission to help him shape the reform proposal. The commission is one of the initiatives under Advance Northeast Ohio.

It will be very interesting to watch Fingerhut's reform proposal take shape.

Cleveland business executive Scott Roulston talks on WCPN about the job market in Northeast Ohio. Listen to his comments here.

He suggests that one way to help employers fill open jobs is to allow more foreign workers in the U.S. Demand for foreign workers way outstrips the number of worker visas that the U.S. is willing to issue. Do you think that granting more visas to foreign workers would help Northeast Ohio's economy grow?

Brad Whitehead, president of the Fund for Our Economic Future, speaks with Thomas Mulready of Cool Cleveland about Advance Northeast Ohio. Watch the video here.
