CLEVELAND, Ohio - Lots of legal arguments have been put in play in the fight over legislation that Cleveland City Council approved to use part of city's admissions tax on improvements to Quicken Loans Arena.
But one thing for sure, neither side has a slam-dunk argument. And it likely will take months to resolve, one lawyer familiar with municipal law and this case told cleveland.com.
Ultimately, the case could hinge on whether Cleveland's charter is in line with the Ohio Constitution, and whether actions the city has taken after the legislation was approved on an emergency basis can check the right of repeal by citizens.
