Mike Moroski Running for Council

Mike Moroski, The former Catholic high school administrator fired for supporting gays rights on his personal blog, announced he is running for Cincinnati City Council in 2013. The field of candidates is growing, but few Republican candidates thus far.

Cincinnati Parking Plan Analysis

Former Ohio House candidate Luke Brockmeier has a thorough analysis of the Cincinnati Parking Plan issued by the City Manager.

I agree with his take. If the assumptions are correct, it is a more positive than negative plan. It is not all roses for everyone affected, but it helps the city.

It is sad seeing John Cranley misrepresent the plan, but that is what can be expected from a hack politician like Cranely, who cares more about getting votes than actually governing the city.

Cranley suffers from suburbanite syndrome where he things all parking (at strips malls) should be free.

What a sad candidate. A visonless candidate who seems to not understand that he lives in a major city, not some bland suburban community that is based on conformity, not innovation.

Cranley Loses Another Blogger

Mayoral Candidate John Cranley got an early repudiation from Quimbob.

I wonder how many more are to follow....

Trees Cut Down In Yeatman's Cove

An entire grove if trees was cut down recently in Yeatman's Cove near the Purple People Bridge.

I would guess they may have been diseased, but no information was available at the park.

New trees are on site to presumably replace those cut down.

Hortsman's Bias Continues And Grows With Cranley's Help

It will come to a shock to no one that Enquirer Writer Barry Hortsman has written yet another hit piece on the Cincinnati Streetcar. What may be a surprise is how much this hit piece was free advertising for Mayoral candidate John Cranley.  Professional journalists and mainstream media outlets, usually don't do that.  That isn't the case for the Enqurier or Hortsman.

Hortsman couldn't bother to get a quote from the other candidate for office? Better yet, he could have written about the article about the Streetcar and not include Cranley at all.  It is called an "Exclusive" by the newspaper.  What that typically means is that the story is one on that media outlet has.  Instead, this article was exclusively filled with the political viewpoints of only one candidate for office, Cranley.  This no challenge to what Cranley says or believes.  His inclusion is irrelevant   This is supposed to be a transportation story, not a political story.

Pure Bias, terrible Journalism.

I honestly don't believe any article Hortsman writes at this point. After claiming to be able to walk as fast as the wind blows, he lost all credibility with anyone paying attention. Now, I would like to hear from any journalist explaining how this article is not an intentional endorsement of John Cranley.

I'd also will be checking the Cranley campaign finance reports for an in-kind contribution from Gannett for the publication of this article.

Where Are the Vote Counts?

The Enquirer is reporting that Chris Smitherman says he won the Cincinnati NAACP Chapter Presidential election, but the organization will not release the vote counts. It would appear that Smitherman graduated from the Hugo Chávez Charm School.

So much for legitimacy.

Kathy Wilson Travels, Fails to Mark the Twain

So cryptic attacks and backhanded praise once again flow like prose laden with random Jazzy CNN almost metaphors in another Kathy Y. Wilson column in CityBeat. If you want to watch ideas dance the Tango for no apparent reason, then have a read.

If you DO NOT want to watch Kathy ride the 2001 Cincinnati Riot Float in another parade, then I suggest you skip it.
