    Rec trail plan would link Springfield to neighbors A comprehensive web of bike trails looping through Springfield and connecting Dayton, Columbus and Urbana to Clark County was presented recently to the Springfield-Clark County Transportation Coordinating Committee. TCC officials stress it’s a “pie in the sky” dream at this point. But that’s the goal. http://www.springfieldnewssun.com/news/springfield-news/rec-trail-plan-would-link-springfield-to-neighbors-1137543.html
  3. "Today's vote proclaims Ohio as a Right to Drive state," Shaner said Actually it makes it a "driving required" state. But I thought we didn't want to be California.... again, who are Luken's neighbor & daughter?
  4. who the heck are Luken's neighbor & daughter? names..... without knowing, the lopsidedness of the speakers credentials is amazing.
  5. About 120 years ago Cincinnati had about the same population & about 2/3 the area. We had around 300 police on foot & horseback using call boxes for communication. We now have near 4 times as many police driving gas guzzling virtual batmobiles. I can only conclude this immensely more expensive police force is needed to deal with automobiles - accidents, moving & stationary violations & their use in crimes. +$$$
  6. I don't want to insult anybody's religion (except Winburn's), but he promoted prosperity theology at his constantly self-reinventing "church" for awhile. That's a pretty sketchy form of Christianity. He seemed to go from scam to scam. The guy is a cut above the tent revivalists.
  7. Is this legal? Precedented? Are there state laws aimed at specific developments in specific cities? No money for a bridge over the blah river in Toledo, no money for a right turn lane on Main @ 7th in Youngstown. That seems bizarre & unconstitutional, it's certainly unethical

  9. Portune says he'll take the money for Ft Washington Way decks. http://cincinnati.com/blogs/politics/2011/03/23/portune-well-take-your-streetcar-money/#comments Not exactly transportation.....
  10. None of the senators on the committee hail from Cincinnati. One from Butler county. If these &%$#@ want to single out Cincinnati, Cincinnati should single out these senator's districts. BOYCOTT
  11. WCPO reports Wayne Lippert is expected to replace Berding. http://www.wcpo.com/dpp/news/political/Wayne-Lippert%2C-Jr.-to-be-named-as-Jeff-Berding%27s-replacement-on-Cincinnati-City-Council Lipperts old campaign site http://lippertforcouncil.com/
  12. From his campaign page: The city’s proposed investment in the streetcar should be put on hold until a new financing plan is in place and counsel and the public have an opportunity to review the entire package. In addition we cannot move forward on a project that does not have an operating plan. The issue, however, does highlight the need for a comprehensive transportation plan that our region sorely lacks. One important focus of a comprehensive transportation plan needs to the Greater Cincinnati Airport. We must support the revitalization of our airport because it is critical for our ability to retain, grow, and attract jobs to Cincinnati. I will look for opportunities to support outside efforts to strengthen our airport and create jobs. http://lippertforcouncil.com/the-issues/
  13. Kasich should put his money where his considerable mouth is and refuse to take tax money from any development that occurs along the streetcar route.
  14. Columbus Based White Castle wins award for it's Laughing Noodle concept (in Springfield) from Chain Store Age magazine. http://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/white-castles-laughing-noodle-wins-chain-store-age-award-117949549.html
  15. I remember hearing there was opposition but I didn't know where it was at the time. The location has been a bar since about the beginning of time, I think.
  16. Arrest made in Northside bar shooting (Club 360). The victim was the owner's brother. I am not surprised at her reaction that seems to be just walking away from the place. http://nky.cincinnati.com/article/AB/20110315/NEWS01/303150026/Arrest-made-fatal-Northside-shooting?odyssey=mod_sectionstories

    Another poll is looking worse: "The PPP poll showed Kasich with a 35 percent approval rating – compared to a 40 percent approval rating in the University of Cincinnati’s Ohio Poll released yesterday" "Ohio Gov.John Kasich would lose a do-over race today with former governor Ted Strickland by 15 percentage points" http://cincinnati.com/blogs/politics/2011/03/15/more-bad-news-for-kasich-in-ppp-poll/
  18. DeWine? I believe he's suing the president.

    Kasich is tickled pink The Avengers will be filming in Cleveland. He cites the film tax credit (as is production) & the Cleveland Film Commission is taking some credit. I know Kasich fired the state film commission. Did he eliminate the department or just fire the current staff? http://tinyurl.com/4e8xx6k
  22. A little less traumatic than KJP's subcutaneous implants, could you give people a light dose of radiation & put geiger counter devices in the doors that would set off an alarm when no radiation was detected? Maybe have retractable bear trap devices in the floor to stop 'em in their tracks?
  23. Cincinnati, Springfield & Dayton come in high on this year after year. A couple years ago it was Springfield #1, Dayton #2 Cincinnati #3 in their respective categories. It has to do with places to put a business. It's based on population, income, highway access, real estate prices & stuff.
  24. Sell advertising / coupon space on the sticker backing? Make it redeemable or validatable with area businesses?
