Cleveland anti-lead-poisoning coalition is a laudable step forward but it needs a clear plan of action: editorial

Cleveland Mayor Frank Jackson rightly calls the new Lead Safe Cleveland Coalition's commitment to move the needle on lead poisoning in the city a major step forward. But the lack of specifics on how the lead-safe promises will be achieved -- and when -- needs to be fixed quickly, writes the editorial board.

The scale of the threat to the well-being of Cleveland's children -- and by extension, to the success of the just-announced Say Yes to Education project to enable all Cleveland high school graduates to go to college -- is just too urgent.
