Ruby's wife arrested (3rd item)
Speaking of gossip, what is Jeff Ruby's wife doing? I am surprised this is only covered in the Post's news briefs. Mrs. Ruby had another case where she appealed a driver's license suspension back in 1992. The records of that case are limited, and the original reason for the suspension is not clear on the court records. She may have had her license suspended for actions that did not occur in Hamilton County, but she sued the BMV here. That is the only logical explanation I could come up with as to why other court records are not listed. I know Jeff Ruby is viewed highly by most in the media, but I would think this would warrant a stand alone story.

Stomping on flag leads to protester's arrest
As long as you own the flag you can do what ever you wish to the flag. It is private property. What you can't do is stomp on or burn someone else's flag, unless the owner of that flag gives permission. This guy sounded like he had bigger issues than stomping on a flag. When you are carrying a knife, claw hammer, tire iron, and a toy gun, I think you might be dangerous and menacing. This man also appears to have had another disorderly conduct arrest back in August. That case is still pending. He sounds like he might be in need of a physiological evaluation.

Councilman proposes $500 littering fine
Cranley can put on a classic dog and pony show. He got his name in the papers, and local TV news. He can now claim he has cleaned up the city. His smoke and mirrors will only get him so far. He really is a hack politician.

City Hall hears it from the west side
Price Hill and Westwood have been ignored recently, and they have been falling to pot. This was just a showbiz stunt, but it does get their issue a little more attention. Crime is spreading further into another neighborhood, and the City must get out in front of the problem. They don't need pointless litterbug laws; they instead need proactive policing. Say "FU" to the race baiters, and go bust the criminals.

CityBeat: City Lights "News to Use: Strengthen the Picket Line" (2nd item)
It now goes without question that City Beat is clear in favor of the boycott. That was obvious to the casual reader, and City Beat may have even stated such previously. It became obvious with their article, which is akin to a public service announcement as to where and when people should go if they wish to participate in a protest against the AFL-CIO fund raising dinner. I wonder if the CJC boycotters are going to dress up in Pinkerton uniforms. Maybe, maybe not.
