Burritos & drinks

Township officials say the company is hoping to start construction within a few months and have the restaurant opened by late this year.
The Trumbull County commissioners on Wednesday approved a notification to the Ohio Department of Liquor Control that no hearing is needed for a liquor permit sought by Chipotle for a location at the northeast corner of Elm Road and Millennium Boulevard in Bazetta Township.

Mar-a-Lago a no-go for clinic soiree
CLEVELAND
The Cleveland Clinic, a leading U.S. hospital, pulled its annual fundraiser from Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort on Thursday, reversing course after initially resisting pressure from health professionals and others over the president’s support for repealing the Affordable Care Act and cutting federal budget dollars to medical research.
The hospital said it decided not to have the event there after “careful consideration” of a number of issues. It didn’t elaborate.
Spokeswoman Eileen Sheil had said last week the event was not political, and donors and executives discussed it and agreed Mar-a-Lago met the organization’s needs.
The fundraiser has raised $700,000 to $1 million annually and has been at Mar-a-Lago the last eight years.
But, citing Trump’s positions, more than 1,100 doctors, nurses, medical students and other Ohio residents signed a public letter of concern over the choice of venue.
