It was good to see Bibb stepping in so decisively to urge a reset for the commission, which needed this bucket-of-cold-water reminder of what’s at stake in Cleveland’s Issue 24 police oversight reforms -- which Bibb strongly supported. The CPC has to do it right if it wants its new oversight powers to be credible, effective and wisely used.
