Be cautious of any ballot initiative you are asked to sign!

Anyone know Smitherman's term as President? I know he took office in April of 2007.

From the article... "The other side kept saying this wasn't about the streetcar - so we'll make it about the streetcar," said Cincinnati NAACP President Christopher Smitherman A$$hat

Streetcar clears hurdle, but maybe not the last The Cincinnati streetcar plan remains on track today after winning a major - but perhaps not final - victory Tuesday when city voters decided that they want choices about passenger rail made at City Hall, not at the polls.

CONGRATS TO PROGRESS IN CINCINNATI!!!

Wow, it's kinda awkward watching the 11 p.m. news on 5, 9, and 12. A lot of stuttering, bad cut-aways, and silence.

Just noticed this 7:30 p.m. Tweet from @GoCOAST: "WeDemandAVote congratulates Progressers on a well-fought ISSUE 9 race. Win or lose, you were a class act, and worthy rivals. Thanks #NoOn9 (via @GOCOAST)"

Cold night out there. Set-up shop at Crossroads Church. Flynn, Monzel, Zamary all stopped by. Only Zamary was favorable of my sign and stopped to chat. Sue Bortz was great to talk to. One COASTer was there with 2 pro-8 signs. She didn't like the No on 9 so close to her. ;-) Only about 50 voters from 5pm on. Few wanted my flier...

Wow... over 30 people viewing this topic atm. What a day!

Rookwood expansion to begin in spring Seven years after the planned Rookwood Exchange development in Norwood became mired in land disputes and lawsuits, developer Jeffrey R. Anderson Real Estate said it will start construction on more than $100 million of retail and entertainment space and offices and residences there in the spring. The project will start to open in 2012. Read Full Article Here: http://news.cincinnati.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/AB/20091102/BIZ01/911030319/

Monzel Smashes Streetcar (in an ad) http://cincinnati.com/blogs/politics/2009/11/02/monzel-smashes-streetcar-in-an-ad/

^ Lets find out, vote Yes on 3.

Or really has a thing for Tommy Luken...

I'm convinced this amendment is doomed to pass. I was talking with a "friend" today who had just voted by absentee Friday. She said these two sentences... "The streetcar is going to cost a billion dollars!" "I want to be able to vote anytime the government wants to spend tax money." *sigh*

Enquirer's "coverage" of today's City Hall events. *Edit - Didn't see Sherman's post ^...

^I'm thinking it's this: African American Chamber & AFL-CIO oppose Issue 9

You'll be able to hear it on his Podcast once it's released. The interview is about an hour or so in. Both were against a Streetcar in Cincinnati, but neither thought Issue 9 was the way to stop it.

Latest from COAST... lets blame City Council's lack of a vote on next year's tax rate on the Streetcar! "@GOCOAST: Council delays trolley tax hike until after election, so you can't "vote them out." Preserve your right to vote. Vote YES ON ISSUE 9."

I've gotten 4 from Qualls and 3 from Fischer in the past 7-8 days. The Board of Elections got my change of address at the very end of September. Wonder if my old address is receiving any...
