It’s been really cold in Cleveland — the kind of cold that makes spring training feel like a distant dream. But good news: The first spring training games are in just two weeks, and yes, we’re counting that as hope. Go Guards!

This week’s quiz starts with a little hometown pride as Northeast Ohio shows up on the Olympic stage, then pivots back to the local decisions shaping life here at home. We’re talking City Hall spending, how much money council members can expense, and a reminder of just how long it’s been since Cleveland updated its air quality standards. Think you’ve been paying attention? Let’s find out.

Before we get started, let’s give a shout-out to quiz takers Erick G., Terrell P., Biz H., Keith G., Crystal C., Terri J., Kaushik S. and Salvatore N. for scoring 100% on last week’s quiz. Well done!

Ready. Set. Quiz.
