Marty O’Neill, president of the Shaker Heights firefighters union, IAFF Local 516, and John Novosielski, president of the University Heights firefighters union, IAFF Local 974, both said they were not informed until Feb. 1 the mayors of those two cities had signed a memorandum of understanding to form a council of governments for the purpose of merging the fire departments.

(Ed: Not the FuelPerks program, but it’s still kinda complicated what program to use at the gas pump. Basically if you have accumulated Fuel Perks (.10 every $50 spent) then use those at Get Go but if you have none left, you can still scan your Advantage card and take advantage of the new .03 off every gallon program regardless of accumulate rewards. )
The food and gas retailer Giant Eagle will no longer offer its foodperks program to customers after Feb. 13.
The ending of the program comes as the company is now offering a 3-cent per gallon discount anytime customers swipe their Giant Eagle Advantage cards at GetGo gas stations
.
Foodperks allowed GetGo customers to get discounts on food at Giant Eagle.
