Change is Frightening, but Fear is Paralyzing

Monday, August 28th, 2006

 

I left the comment below on Psychobilly Democrat where my friend Redhorse posted this.  I too hope that people have HAD ENOUGH.  

I hope part of “had enough” for voters is the fact that telling us things are good when we can look around us and see that is not the case in our own respective neighborhood will […]

Way Cool!

Friday, August 25th, 2006

Have I just labeled myself a nerd?  Have I dated myself?  Frankly, I don’t care.  I just found something out that I didn’t know, and the first words that popped into my mind to describe it were “WAY COOL” .  In my capacity of main scheduler for Meet.The.Bloggers I am looking for a place in Grandview Heights […]

Foreclosure Comment on BFD Becomes Full Fledged Post

Tuesday, August 1st, 2006

 I commented at George Nemeth’s Brewed Fresh Daily in response to comments made by others concerning the recent Policy Matters Ohio study that was recently released concerning foreclosure rates in Ohio.  I decided I wanted to post it here as well because whatever the reasons for the alarming increase in foreclosures we should all be concerned.

Where’s Ohio?

 Att. Editors and Reporters,

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: […]

A Conflict of Interest revisited

Wednesday, June 7th, 2006

But there is one clear way that Ohio’s election system is corrupt. Decisions about who can vote are being made by a candidate for governor. Mr. Blackwell […]

First Eminent Domain Public Hearing Today

Monday, April 10th, 2006

The state’s eminent domain task force has filed its preliminary report on the rules and regulations for eminent domain in Ohio.  For some reason, the task force could not come to an agreement on what constitutes “blight”.  Strangely enough, this definition is necessary when deciding if a public entity ( a city) can take control […]

Ohio’s own “Scary Movie”

Thursday, April 6th, 2006

I just read Chas Rich’s take on the preliminary eminent domain task force report and it is scary folks.  Chas runs down a list of the people on this task force and again as is so often the case with scoping committees, task forces, and summits there is a decided lack of just “plain” folks.  […]

Wetlands, birds, and wildlife vanishing quickly in Ohio

Saturday, January 21st, 2006

Two of my neighbors have emailed me about a critical issue facing our state. Read more here. I have already mentioned it once a few days ago, but it deserves another mention. We are faced with allowing developers to again decide the road that we are traveling in Ohio. We need to sit down, […]
