Pacman:

I recall your having suggested this, and I believe I responded with the requirements (number of signatures needed, timing in order NOT to necessitate the expense of being the sole issue, etc.) from the ORC, and suggested that this (2009) may not be the right time, only because our efforts might be better spent trying to field candidates to unseat current Ward Council members.

I am absolutely willing to work on such changes after we see the November results.

MadMom>    Just who are you calling a trouble maker? You know you might need the help from this board someday. People who live in glass houses should not throw stones. If that corner where Daveys is, is so wonderful why dont you set up there? Maybe Young But Not Dumb could tell you some of ways the city mistreated her. Just think about it,if you think the city is so wonderful you need to see a head Dr.

Mike and I agreed that waiting until Novemebr passed to see how things shook out with Council was the way to go.  I have been talking about recall and Petition initiatives all the way back to when we were on the MJ site and back then got the same cool reception by most.

The scrap dealers know exactly what they are, most of them say "SEWER" on them! Contractors would not even scrap them, they would keep them in their pipe yard for future use on another job. Most are made by Neenah foundry and that is usually on there too. The real problem here is not the cost so much as safety and it allows water to get in the sewers, which could cause overflows or basement backups during heavy rains. They are pretty heavy too, lot of work for $10. The scrap dealer is a legalized fencing operation basically. Courtis is hardly a real go-getter jounalist, he hit the top a few years ago as the anchor now they have him covering missing sewer lids in the town formerly known as Middletown. I liked his laid back style when he was the anchor though, he could make a triple homicide in Northside sound like a church raffle.

By the way, what the heck happened to Davey"s? It seemed to close out of no where.

Poor Curtis, its sad to see him covering Man Hole Covers instead of being anchor. He could help himself if he could apply journalistic skills and report on any of the numerous stories we have here.

Where is the SunCoke coverage? Why hasn't the govenor been interviewed about the biggest investment in Ohio? What about our Section 8 housing, surely there are a number of stories here. Where is the interview with our city manager? Why isn't she being featured in area news?

I can't blame this all on Curtis, its just a lack of journalistic skills in general that is missing from the Main Stream Media. Local news isn't really news at all anymore.
