At virtually every step of the way, new questions continue to arise--about transparency, council pay, and campaign finance, just to name a few. On the next Sound of Ideas, we'll talk with reporters and those involved with the transition about what progress is being made, what we can expect in the coming months, and why this matters beyond the county borders.

For more than a year, the Plain Dealer’s John Horton has been tapping into that challenge in his regular Road Rant column, which covers everything from driving behavior to road conditions and traffic regulation. Monday morning at 9, Horton joins host Dan Moulthrop to help us get some perspective and perhaps some patience about roads and rants.

As the number of women veterans grows, so has their need for medical help for service-related physical and mental conditions, including sexual trauma. On the Sound of Ideas, we’ll discuss the healthcare needs of women veterans and those on active duty, how well they’re being met and steps the Veterans Administration is taking to address the challenges, including building a new Medical Health Center for Women in Cleveland. How the VA is serving women warriors, Friday at 9 on 90.3.

He'll be in Cleveland Monday. On the Sound of Ideas reporters' roundtable Thursday some analysis on where the health fight goes from here. State bureaucrats aren't exactly hurrying to comply with the Governor's mandate to cut payroll. And speaking of Governor Strickland, he's become the new "spokes-man" for efforts to peddle a bike lane for the new I-90 innerbelt bridge. Join us for the discussion Thursday morning at 9:00 on 90.3.

For a region facing a population decline, the stakes are high: some cities may see their numbers fall below the threshold for certain kinds of federal funding. And the final tally will determine not only the number of districts Ohio gets in the next Congress, but also the amount of money every county gets for providing human services. Wednesday morning at 9, join host Dan Moulthrop for a conversation about what's at stake in the coming census.

As NPR ombudsman, Shepard does her best to respond. As liaison between NPR and its audience, she makes her own assessment about complaints which sometimes puts her at odds with reporters and producers. It all happens in the interest of ensuring journalism that’s both accurate and balanced. Does it make the broadcasts more credible to you?

Or why the Cuyahoga River nearly makes a 180 degree turn in Akron? To find the answer you have two choices: go back in time about 14-thousand years and watch a glacier, or tune in Monday morning at 9. A local geology professor joins host Dan Moulthrop for a Science Cafe explaining such mysteries as what put the ridge in Center Ridge Road and why we owe our settlement patterns to a glacier named for the state of Wisconsin.

When the economy fell off a cliff, you might say it landed on them. Certain work force sectors have been hit so hard by the recession, the rate of job losses there match the plunge in overall employment during the Great Depression. Friday morning at 9, Plain Dealer Metro columnist Regina Brett and guests discuss what the fallout may be and whether the needs of the long-term unemployed can be met.

Thursday morning at 9, we'll get the latest on that story as it hits the courts. Also, analysis of the troubles at the Cleveland-Cuyahoga County Port, and Cleveland's schools get a major incentive to finalize its overhaul plans. Plus, a Forbes editor takes your questions on the misery index.

From an on-air rant by a CNBC editor, the movement grew to a tax day protest, then a push-back on health care, outrage at government debt, diatribes against immigration and quite a lot more. In Ohio there are groups from Chesterland to Cincinnati and everywhere in between. Wednesday morning at 9, join host Dan Moulthrop for a conversation with Tea Party people about their beliefs, how they came to them and what, specifically, they want. We'll also talk with political analysts about what this movement means for America.

There's one local company has managed to do that and give year-end bonuses to blue-collar workers of more than $28,000. That's not the most interesting part: this company hasn't had a layoff since it guaranteed continuous employment in 1958. On the next Sound of Ideas, the author of the new book about Lincoln Electric's unusual--and unusually successful--employment guarantee. That's Tuesday morning at 9 on 90.3.

It's called redistricting, and lawmakers from both sides of the aisle are pushing proposals to throw open those closed doors. Monday morning at 9, join host Dan Moulthrop for a conversation about the Republican and Democratic ideas, the suprisingly fertile middle ground between them, and why this all matters for democracy.
