MAYOR GEORGE V. VOINOVICH. In 1979, Republican George Voinovich defeated Mayor Kucinich and inherited a city in financial trouble. At this press conference held in November of 1980, Mayor Voinovich highlighted Cleveland’s misspent bond funds and announced that Cleveland had, with the help of local banks, come out of default. Next to Mayor Voinovich is longtime Council Clerk Mercedes Cotner and beside her, city Finance Director William Reidy. (Photograph by Paul Toppelstein.)

VOINOVICH AND OAKAR. During the administration of Mayor Voinovich, Cleveland City Council introduced significant changes to the office of mayor and for the members of City Council—changes not seen since Cleveland was under the city manager plan. In 1981, the terms for mayor and council member were doubled from two to four years, and the number of council members was reduced from 33 to 21. Here, Voinovich chats with supporter and west side councilwoman Mary Rose Oakar. (Photograph by Van Dillard.)
