Rebecca Maurer Fights Lead Poisoning in Cleveland

Rebecca Maurer, a seasoned advocate for lead safety, has been appointed as the senior advisor for lead accountability in Cleveland. Her new role, created by Mayor Justin Bibb, aims to address the citys lead poisoning crisis, particularly in older homes. Maurers prior experience and commitment to the cause make her well-suited for the task. She plans to investigate the loss of a $3.3 million grant, rewrite the citys lead safe law, and coordinate efforts across various departments. Despite progress, lead poisoning rates in Cleveland remain twice as high as Flint, Michigans peak, highlighting the urgent need for her work.
