    Third Base Politics

    I love you, but while it's yet to be determined whether this is a good move politically (I seriously doubt it), on principle you can't quit before your first term is up.

    And your announcement? Amateur.

    What a shame. I had such high hopes.' [...]

  • Pools ARE a Basic Service

    Cincinnati Blog

    I thought City Council--led by Laketa Cole--was off the mark with its mid-year budget correction. Some ideas (like having police park their cars an hour per shift) don't seem likely to save the city money, and others (like the new environmental bureaucracy, a first-of-its-kind proposal that adds to the city' [...]

  • More on that Quinny poll

    Buckeye State Blog

    I don't think David's post did the latest Quinny poll justice as how bad things look for Governor Strickland in this poll.  He saw a double digit drop in his approval and favorability ratings . . . in a month.  Both are now below 50%.

    Ohioans have declared the honeymoon is over with [...]

  • Selling a Commodity

    DaytonOS

    There is a smell of desperation in the air. The desperation of how to "sell" a bland and generic place like Dayton as a place to do business.

    Dayton is the average mid-sized Midwest industrial city. In other words it is a commodity, since there are plenty of [...]

    Pictured on your left are a group of lilies in my yard that begin to bloom each year around the first of July. What I especially enjoy about these colorful flowers is the way that they almost seem to be on fire when sunlight hits them, [...]

    As we spend our 4th of July celebrating our independence from the aristocrats of Europe, just remember, it may be our last.

  • Health insurance must die.

    DaytonOS

    I can’t raise my rates 40% in a year. Yet, I’ve had incredible, wild swings from year to year for health insurance for my small business.. Reading this article about a former CIGNA exec’s testimony to Congress makes it real clear why. It’s worth a read of the full piece: Wendell Potter [...]

    Councilmember Cole:

    Yesterday, after dropping out of the mayoral race in order to save the City around $413,00, Justin Jeffre and I dropped our symbolic “big check” at your office and spoke briefly with your staff.

    As the current chair of the Finance Committee, I would like to remind you that this [...]

    Down to six couples now

    Ultimately, I didn’t agree with two of the three couples who were in the bottom three — I disagreed with America, not the Judges, because the Judges were also shocked.  I did agree with the third couple being there, and felt they deserved to be there. [...]
