New Indoor Speed Record for ... City Council

The first Cincinnati council meeting of the new year was one the shortest in history.

Wednesday's council meeting lasted all of 12 minutes. "That's never happened before," council veteran and Vice Mayor Jim Tarbell said.

About half of the 12 minutes was eaten up by an announcement by Councilmember Laketa Cole, talking about the upcoming Neighborhood Summit Feb. 4.

But it's not like council did nothing. The board worked through an agenda packed with 50 items, moving past each in the speed of sound. All items were approved unanimously, and with nary a word of debate, discussion or arguement.

Of course 1/2 the time was taken by Y.L.Cole. No one can say less in more time than Ms. Cole.

Mallory, if you are reading this: DO SOMETHING! Not another meaningless press release about a fun bet or a carpet change at City Hall - something that will matter. One word, Mr. Take It Easy: CRIME.

I want to know who is text messaging miss cole during clowncil to let her know what to say. She would be lost without her ghostwriter.
