Wednesday, August 29, 2007
Yesterday (Wed) we heard Cleveland Mayor Frank Jackson react to new Census Bureau figures that show his city's Poverty Rate dropped last year. Today we hear from the Mayor of Akron, where poverty levels increased and average income declined. Like Jackson, Akron Mayor Don Plusquellic cautions people not to take the numbers too seriously.
