Lisa DeJong, Cleveland Plain DealerCLEVELAND, Ohio – Executive Armond Budish is withdrawing his controversial pick of North Olmsted Councilman Chris Glassburn to serve on the Greater Cleveland Regional Transit Authority board, apparently at the nominee’s request.
His appointment had sparked protest from Clevelanders for Public Transit, which had proposed its own list of candidates it felt were more qualified to advocate for users. Members repeatedly alleged that Glassburn could not represent their needs because he was not a regular rider.
