    Like GoCO said, "that's how the game is played."
  2. He knows. But can he remember? He was kinda rambling in some of the candidate forums.
  3. Someone posted these addresses earlier in this thread [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] I'd recommend emailing all of 'em so they can't say, "Everybody I heard from..."

    Hamilton County prosecutor, Joe Deters, residency questioned http://news.cincinnati.com/article/20131125/NEWS0107/311250137
  5. I think Krampus has his work cut out for him...
  6. and shortly after Sittenfeld's Tweet, someone slams into him from behind on Columbia Parkway. A message from COAST? The NAACP? Was the driver the same guy who attacked Seelbach? People ridiculed Mallory for having a bodyguard... http://cincinnati.com/blogs/politics/2013/11/25/sittenfeld-ok-after-columbia-parkway-accident/
  7. Anybody hear what the FTA guy had to say? heh - wonder if PG felt snubbed on the VM thing?

    and politicians saying they're going to roll up their sleeves... Just wear T-shirts & save time, you fools!
  9. Yeah, because the Mayor of Cincinnati has a lot of sway in the national abortion debate. :wtf: Municipalities can change zoning & health code ordinances to make providers existing offices non-compliant and new offices prohibitively expensive.
  10. New Springfield hotel sign of more demand Clark County businesses are fueling need for additional rooms. A recent report showed occupancy rates for October have risen almost 19 percent percent compared to the same month last year. Occupancy rates for the year rose more than 12 percent compared to 2012. http://www.springfieldnewssun.com/news/news/local/new-springfield-hotel-sign-of-more-demand/nb3mS/

    I hate the term, "baby steps".
  12. 11/24 Newsmakers covers Metro & the streetcar. The first segment covers efficiency of Metro & expansion plans & sets the stage nicely in promoting the streetcar. http://www.local12.com/entertainment/features/newsmakers/#.UpIimyjvMUh

    as an old basterd, I was able to collect bottles & get enough money to pay my share of gas $, pay my drive in admission & still be able to get pop, popcorn & a corn dog. talk about rock star...
  14. huh? LOL kids...
  15. New boxing facility opened at CRC’s OTR Center http://thecincinnatiherald.com/news/2013/nov/20/new-boxing-facility-opened-crcs-otr-center/
  16. so cut your hair already...
  17. The economy, WWI, the local train systems really need to be brought up in relation to the subway but I know these guys have time restraints. WKRC, later, devoted equal time to the streetcar & a game arcade, tho. Still, it's great to see someone like Jake getting out there. The media loves their "go to" guys & idiots like Smitherman, Finney & Luken have done a good job of establishing themselves. We need more articulate, non-knuckledraggers out there talking to the press.
  18. I'm guessing a year is probably closer. They have to decide what they want & then plan it & then OK it, bid it & then do it. Bog forbid anybody files a lawsuit... As far as deciding WHAT to do, all we have heard is what people don't want. Then, of course, figuring out where to store stuff & then sell it.
  19. This should be in the mayor thread but, yeah, Paul Booth and a bunch of male, black ministers endorsing Cranley really made me wonder if they were expecting some anti choice crap out of him.
  20. yup - it's not their money
  21. There were no public comments which is what Cranley would be currently but why Slitherman wasn't there to account for every dime is unknown. well, to me.
  22. Notice that they want the current council to pause? That way any problems that would arise would be on the current council not on the incoming council. yeesh...
  23. Welcome to politics. You have to be willing to push a mile to get an inch. There's a sports analogy there but I forget it. I would never in a million years have guessed getting this thing done would be so hard. I think someone posted earlier something about this project getting a little more scrutiny than others??
  24. so Mann is there but Sittenfeld, Smitherman, Winburn & Cranley are not? Any of the other newly elected council people there? Cranley will probably just say this is a witch hunt. mak McGuire just informed me all these guys are lying. My WLWT connection has crashed & burned
  25. uh oh, SORTA could lose fed funding?
