Attorney Jon Pinney, managing partner of Kohrman Jackson & Krantz, offered an assessment of the regional economy to a sold out City Club of Cleveland audience on Friday, June 8.

His appraisal was clear, if unsettling.

"We're getting our butts kicked. We're dead last or near the bottom in most economic metrics," he said. "Our population continues to decline at an alarming rate (and) our economy has not evolved into an innovation economy quickly enough."
