A vendor at Cleveland’s historic West Side Market says he’s being pushed out after raising concerns about rats and market conditions to the media. Jason Scott, who runs Greg’s Produce Stand, claims management hit him with hefty fines and a rent hike after he went public about the rat problem. He feels his freedom to speak up is being threatened, while market officials insist it’s about rule violations, not retaliation. This situation really highlights the tension between transparency and management control in our local institutions. How should vendors balance speaking out with following internal processes? #Business #Industry #Cleveland
