Justin Strekal is up next to speak on the wage theft legislation. He says he has seen wage theft first hand across Cleveland and that businesses should not have to rely on exploiting their constituents to turn a profit.

Griffin asks the members of Guardians for Fair Work to stand and be recognized.

Next is Sabrina Otis to talk about housing issues. She says that property owners are able to get exemptions on lead issues: "Don't keep passing stuff and then we the citizens find out that it doesn't work...I have a sick kid because of Building & Housing not doing their job."

Wanda Hill Chestnut of W6 on animal trapping: "They released a rat, the size of a possum, back into our yard." She's had multiple issues with animals being released onto her property & overall unhelpfulness from animal control. "Don't release another rat or racoon into my yard."

Antoine Tolbert from New Era Cleveland is present to talk about the issues they see while providing programs and assistance to their neighborhood. "Safety isn't just the job of police, it's all our responsibility. We have an issue with the culture of policing in Cleveland."
