Undefeated Campaign In-Depth; Legal Help During The Pandemic

The local tourism economy has been bludgeoned by the coronavirus pandemic and the shutdowns and physical distancing employed to slow the spread. No sports. No concerts. Empty hotels and restaurants. What once was a major economic engine is now virtually non-existent. Destination Cleveland, the regional tourism bureau, has partnered with Cleveland, Cuyahoga County and major hospitals to bring it back -- safely. David Gilbert, president and CEO of Destination Cleveland, joins us to lay out the details of the  Undefeated campaign. Later there's been a surge in the need for legal advice from those facing eviction, bill collections or difficulty collecting public benefits in the pandemic. We'll discuss efforts to help.
