Dems endorse trio for council
Do the Dems not have enough viable candidates running for council this time? Or do they think DeWine is a lock, and Tarbell and Monzel are solid and at most one is vulnerable? I don't know why they do not fill out their slate. I can only assume they are waiting to see who else gets on the ballot, and will endorse someone later if they have a chance. I wonder if the Charterites have a chance to get on more on or if an extremist independent will come close to getting elected.

Local School Employees Missing $829,000 Worth Of Paychecks
This is not the kind of news you want when you are trying to pass a school bond issue a couple of weeks. This is a PR nightmare. I hope someone gets more than a wrist slap over this snafu.

Democrats endorse 2 for City Council
Read this portion of the article from near the end:

Nathaniel Livingston Jr., a Democratic precinct committeeman from Avondale who is a leader of one of two boycott groups calling itself the Coalition for a Just Cincinnati

What kind of moronic political party allows Nate Livingston to be a precinct committeeman? That is atrocious. A promoter of bigotry and hatred is allowed to participate in a political party; you would think that does not happen in this day and age. Well, at least not in the Democratic Party. Locally, the Republicans not only let them in to the party, they elect them: like this guy, and this guy.

BRONSON: Ohio's new palace in Columbus
Attention Mr. Bronson, Attention Mr. Bronson.....Blame your fellow Republicans!!!!!!! In case you have not noticed, your political party of choice is in total control of the government of Ohio. Start Blaming Brinkman, oh wait you can't blame him, he would rather we not have a government. Ok, blame Taft, Blackwell, Petro, Deters, etc. Your guys are in office. Why do you seem to want to blame anyone other than the guys who voted to fund this building restoration? I wonder if you are going to try and pin this on Springer. You might blame Clinton, your usual, but I don't think even you could make a connection the mouth foamers could swallow. I guess “lawmakers” will have to do, but it is a shame you can’t put your GOP friends down once in a while, beyond when they don’t evoke your right wing stalwart issues of guns, theocracy, and abortion.

Number 28

Student reports crime, is arrested by Cincinnati officer
This news is old, but it is getting attention regionally. This I am sure will gin up the boycotters a bit. I don't know the facts, but the headline sounds bad, if the headline is bad, the story must be. (COUGH, COUGH)
