Hmmmm. Isn't this the same Lorrie Platt who happens to be Charlie Luken's ex-squeeze that he appointed at the last minute to this board last summer? What's that Greg? Yup, sure is.

POLICE WATCHDOG: Mayor Charlie Luken nominated Lorrie L. Platt, 34, of Over-the-Rhine, to the city's police watchdog agency Wednesday.
Platt, community relations manager for the Cincinnati Reds, is also Luken's former girlfriend.
The Citizen Complaint Authority, established through an agreement with the U.S. Justice Department in 2002, investigates allegations of police misconduct.
City Council unanimously confirmed Platt, although Chris Monzel and John Cranley had urged the mayor to appoint Westwood Concern activist Mary Kuhl.
Platt would replace John Eby of Westwood, who resigned from the authority to run as a Republican candidate for City Council.
Well, I guess Jeff Berding and Chris Bortz will enjoy all those free lunches from the Montgomery Inn after giving away a prime City owned piece of land in exchange for a worthless piece of Montgomery Inn owned land.
Much Much Congratulations to LaShawn Butler for his new posting.....I know you been working real hard. All the best for your successful term.
