The city of East Cleveland could use a Christmas miracle or a generous Santa Claus with very deep pockets.
The financially long-struggling city’s spending has been under the oversight of State Auditor David Yost for about two years.
Yost says the city is on the verge of financial collapse. It reportedly needs to slash another $400,000 from next year’s budget.
It’s been paying bills hand-to-mouth, but has fallen way behind.
Deep personnel cuts have already been made.
Cell phones have been shut off. Some workers had trouble being seen by doctors because the city was behind on health care premiums. Potholes weren’t being fixed. Utilities are demanding payment.
