Lawyer claims flaws in Boyles indictment
The actions of this attorney must stem from the Twitty Grand Jury debacle. Is this an attorney doing his job by stretching the truth, or is the Grand Jury process a joke? I hope this is just a lawyer reaching for threads with a doomed defense. I would guess that every defense lawyer is going to look for any uncrossed "t" to help raise doubt over every Hamilton County indictment. I wonder how the reputation of Mr. Fagal, foreman of the Twitty Grand Jury, is faring at City Hall. Will he remain employed there much longer?

Boycott leaders protest prosecutor
Are the boycotters going to protest Tavis Smiley? Who is that you ask??? You need to read my prior post. I am surprised I have not heard anything else about Tavis Smiley. The conference he is taking part in is for program directors for public radio stations. They are a very influential segment of the media. I thought about email the various local media outlets to ask if they were aware of any protests for this event. I would not expect a reply, but would like to see if they reported the story. I'll just have to wait and see.

It appears that Cincinnati Nation can't make up its mind. Is it a blog or is it a News outlet? The following "post" from their site is nothing but a misrepresentation of the issue.
Just like the South in the 60s, Cincinnati jails civil rights leader for a minor infraction one of the leaders of the economic boycott of downtown Cincinnati is back in jail Monday night. Nate Livingston was sentenced to 60 days behind bars last June for climbing on stage and using a bullhorn to interrupt a speech by Mayor Charlie Luken.This then links to a story from Fox 19. The story reported none of what this post suggests, and this post has no facts to support the justification of what Nate Livingston did. He clearly broke the law. The comparison to the South is just wrong. I would guess the editor of CincyNation.com was not alive in the 1960's to know. I was not either, for the record, but I would not make such a baseless statement. In a second story from this website had this outlandish headline “Anti-progress? Chabot wants pollution causing, smelly, street-clogging buses.” Now, I happened to be pro-light rail, but this kind of headline smells of Hearst and Pulitzer.

Here is local blog I ran across: DawnsLife.com. Dawn appears to be a very interesting person, at least based on her blog. The viewer is treated to many pictures and other local links.
Chabot against light rail tax hike
Why do people elect this man? He is against bringing Federal funding to his district. This quote from the article sums it up for me.
Why do people elect this man? He is against bringing Federal funding to his district. This quote from the article sums it up for me.
“They can be statesmen, or they can ensure the money that could be spent here would go to cities such as Dallas, San Diego or St. Louis,” Mr. Schneider said.. “To lead the opposition to a strategy that other cities are following with great success seems to me to be short-sighted.”The "they" includes Fellow Republican John Dowlin and Democrat Dusty Rhodes. I just hear no alternatives to light rail. I hear knee jerk anti-tax measures. I hear a short-run "if I can't see it now, screw later" attitude. I hear the typical Cincinnati attitude, do nothing and just "pray", and then it will just go away. I would like to know if Congressman Portman will take a stand on this issue. It would be interesting to see how his new mix of City/Suburban/Rural district changes his positions. This might be one where it does, or at least keep him quite about it.

BRONSON: Truth matters
Peter is stating the obvious, but to many people the obvious remains an illusion brought on by the mythical magic hand keeping the black man down. I think most people, black and white, understand that Twitty lied to police. Some people think that is no big deal, and should not have been made into the issue it was. In the past, it has not been a big deal. It should have been a big deal then, but just because past actions were swept under the rug, it does not mean this one should have been. I hope the police department will no longer sweep this kind of incident under the rug in the future, no matter the race of the officer. My advice will, as usual, fall on deaf ears.
