FakeCinEnquirer

Lol. Ironically, Greg Hartmann and Chris Monzel have united Chris Seelbach and John Cranley And before anyone else says it, I blame the streetcar.

While the Enquirer editorial team endorsed phase 1b of the streetcar up to uptown, harry black(the new city manager as of tomorrow) pretty much confirmed he will carry out the will of the mayor & not council Chris Wetterich says to expect no additional funding for the streetcar planning of phase 1b reflected in the budget. http://www.bizjournals.com/cincinnati/blog/2014/08/no-mystery-here-expect-new-city-manager-to-take.html

Not really a surprise, but Harry Black will carry out john cranley's agenda http://www.bizjournals.com/cincinnati/blog/2014/08/no-mystery-here-expect-new-city-manager-to-take.html

With the impending nomination of harry black, there will essentially be two John cranleys now in cincinnati From his answers today, it's clear he is following orders

Open John Cranley's mouth, insert John Cranley's foot Chief: Barricades to cut down on prostitution had 'positive impact' Vice: Prostitution didn't move to other neighborhoods Read more: http://www.wlwt.com/news/chief-barricades-to-cut-down-on-prostitution-worked/27296530#ixzz39R4Nt6kf

Things we could have had/saved if streetcar wasn't built according to opponents: Brent spence bridge Music hall Union terminal Ft Washington way cap Pension every pothole fixed Cops Firefighters Garbage equipment Bankruptcy Things the streetcar has been compared to by opponents: Bp oil spill Muslim fundamentalist extremist terrorists Body odor Ebola, bubonic plague and other diseases 9/11 Abortion

Cranley is going after Yvette Simpson pretty good now. Said her barricades initiative was a failure & also accused her of insulting cincinnati when criticizing his choice for City Manager. 'She's attacking cincinnati by saying we have to emulate phoenix, Portland...Most offensively, she attacked baltimore' http://www.700wlw.com/media/podcast-bill-cunningham-bill_cunningham/cranley-uc-terrorism-80114-25106681/ Cranley is already campaigning for the 2017 race. He also said he has always supported an executive mayor form of gov

Cranley continues to blame the streetcar for any and everything. This time, the lack of ft washington way cap towards the end of his segment http://www.700wlw.com/media/podcast-bill-cunningham-bill_cunningham/cranley-uc-terrorism-80114-25106681/

The same people who voted cranley in last election will go for this because they support cranley. Republicans, conservative dems like luken and Rhodes, and tea partiers. Am radio hosts will promote it non stop. These people will come out to vote. The question is, will the people who Sat out last election will.

Except smithermans strong mayor amendment now doesn't have a recall provision... When mallory was in office, the mayor had too much power Now that his man cranley is in office, the mayor has too little power. This is all pre planned. Smitherman wants to be mayor and he doesn't care how it happens(under smitherman proposal If the mayor leaves for any reason, he appoints the new mayor) I would expect a bombardment of am radio in favor of the strong mayor system. They don't need many signatures to get it on the ballot due to the abysmal voting turnout. They are counting on that again. Am appearances will attack council by stating: 1) streetcar 2) mahoganys and other loans 3) parking plan 4) atrium Cranley and smitherman are always up to something. Also I am sure that if a strong mayor gov does succeed, harry black will have a great job in the cranley administration

A fake 55krc caller said that 'My sister is a psychic...She's usually pretty good. She said there's going to be a big riot downtown and the streetcar/Music Hall will be destroyed/Wiped out' (19:50m mark) http://www.55krc.com/media/podcast-brian-thomas-morning-show-55krcMornings/55krc-morning-show-25097156/

Its no coincidence that 1) Smitherman introduced his strong mayor amendment 2 days ago & 2) Harry Black, a man instrumental in helping to change Richmond from a council form of gov to a strong mayor with experience in a strong mayor form of gov in baltimore as well, is cranley's nominee yesterday Smitherman and Cranley are going to make some serious power plays in the near future

InDepth Article on John Cranley. http://www.cincinnatimagazine.com/features/2014/7/17/why-isnt-this-man-smiling/print There's some great quotes in here:

We now have council majority support for planning of phase 2 of the streetcar http://www.bizjournals.com/cincinnati/news/2014/07/17/exclusive-council-majority-wants-to-start-planning.html?ana=twt However, its still not enough to overcome the mayoral veto which will be sure to follow any proposed ordinance. Motions however are another story

Fountain square will be a boondoggle. What a waste of money 700wlw/chris smitherman/luken/the rest proven wrong once again.

Business Courier completely disputes the Enquirer's story http://www.bizjournals.com/cincinnati/news/2014/06/24/city-cincinnati-streetcar-operating-costs-have-not.html

Enquirer released yet another hit piece today designed to get clicks... No mention of streetcar helping bring in ge or the 260k of sorta funds being transferred

They pick and choose the uc economic studies they like and dislike. For example, uc studies for mlk and ge were shouted to the rooftops by cranley and smitherman. The uc study for the streetcar was naturally not correct and full of flaws as claimed by the same smitherman and cranley

PG basically said that the article was written with the word streetcar to get hits(PARAPHRASED...He said it much more politically savvy but that was the intent). He said there's nothing new

PG reiterated that GE told the county lawyer that the streetcar was 'integral' decision in them moving downtown... Cue Cranley sad trombone

Enquirer just published another hit piece against the streetcar. I can't link it on here. Jason williams wrote it

http://www.bizjournals.com/cincinnati/blog/2014/06/why-ge-chose-the-banks.html Yes add another one to the cap! Cranley is continually being proven wrong with every one of the announcements for development downtown. Cranley is still denying that the streetcar had anything to do with GE coming in. On 700wlw, he said that no one from GE told him & that if it did happen, 'we'll take it but I'm skeptical'

Has CO squawked yet? Not a peep. Finney is still enjoying that half a million payout shortly after cranley was elected

Happy about this but if this was the mallory admin, he'd be getting slammed by local media especially am radio

Cranley comes out on the attack against yvette simpson http://www.cincinnati.com/story/opinion/contributors/2014/06/12/john-cranley-cincinnati-budget-puts-house-order/10378533/
