Using the number of foreclosures as a basis for this distribution is unfair to the Valley because we had thousands of vacant and unrepairable houses before the foreclosure crisis happened.
I don't think the city is less safe. The Mayor said Jay was terminated because of a lack of leadership qualities, "managing skills" were the words used. What's his record against misdemeanor offenders when they have a lawyer? Ms. Lantz will not overlook the small stuff and fight for quality of life issues that have been ignored in the past.
The city is a hot ticket right now for building permits and new development. Will the county inspectors just forget about what they have been doing to go into the city to do inspections? The V&M project is immense. How many inspections are due now? How much money does the city Building Inspection Department take in? I know the big projects have fees waived. (Will the county honor these waivers?) How much revenue is generated by building permits, contractor registration and licensing fees, plan review fees, and certificates of occupancy?
So, it was the Dems (Progressives) who made decisions to invade and occupy Iraq costing about $1 TRILLION...and all the while I was thinking George W. Bush was a Republican.
Why would the Vindicator print anything that would go against the Chamber? The Vindicator columnists were against the unions before the SB-5 issue started. The only reason I buy this rag is because my job requires me to be informed on what's reported.
An example of where this paper stands is in the simple statement "Senate Bill 5, legislation that sought to limit some collective bargaining rights for public employees." If Ms. Dick had been paying attention she would know by now that Senate Bill 5 really sought to make the public sector unions completely ineffective and start the process to make Ohio a right-to-work state.

Praise the Lord that people on house arrest are allowed to use computers. Probably due to some community organizing effort in the past.
