CLEVELAND, Ohio – For Cleveland Mayor Frank Jackson, “it is what it is” has a certain meaning.
Jackson says people should interpret the common saying as a sign of surrender, at least not from him. Instead, Jackson says it is a statement that he is being guided by reality and taking a pragmatic approach to problem solving and decision making. Not everyone wants to hear it, but it worked for Jackson over a 30 year career. In Cuyahoga County, this is good news for property owners.
