Way to go Leslie, now you have your own private office where you can plot to destroy the right-wing cancer that has taken over the Repugnicant party.

You fail to note that Ghiz ran this in your rag last Sunday, listing her campaign site as her legal site, and giving her council number as her law office number:

"Sunday Feb. 18 Enquirer Business Notes:
Ghiz goes solo in labor-law practice"
DOWNTOWN - Cincinnati City Council member Leslie Ghiz has opened her own law practice.Ghiz Law, LLC, located at 30 Garfield Place, Suite 600, specializes in labor and employment law, specifically in the areas of employment discrimination and municipal labor law. Ghiz is a member of the bar in Ohio and in West Virginia.
Ghiz has worked as the chief labor negotiator for the city of Cincinnati and then worked for a private firm in the Cincinnati area concentrating in labor and employment litigation. She has trial experience in Ohio and federal courts.She was elected to Cincinnati City Council in 2005.
Information: 513-352-3344 or www.ghizlaw.com"

The site listed isn't her practice it's her campaign site, and the phone listed for her law office is her City Hall number.
She tried to get free press for her campaign on the Business page, and was sending calls related to her own business to the City Hall number.BTW, visit her campaign site to see her photo with Satan Cheney.

I hope that after her term is up we Cincinnatians will not reelect her. May we never have Ghiz on our lips again.

So I guess this blog will serve as free ad space for all the other council members' businesses as well as any council candidates????

Isn't it illegal for an elected official to use government funded phones to promote a private business operation ( or campaign office)?

Guess Nate Livingston was right!

So Dan Klepal is using the Enquirer's Politics Extra blog to publish commercial advertising for Leslie Ghiz? How is this an appropriate function of this blog? How is this news?

And Dan didn't even bother to check the facts. Leslie didn't work for "a private firm" she worked for, and was dismissed by, two private firms -- Freking & Betz and Kohnen & Patton. This is another case of a supposed journalist receiving a press release from a lying politician and assuming that it is true. It isn't unreasonable to expect that Dan would've simply checked the Enquirer's archives to find out that what Leslie Ghiz wrote in her press release/ad wasn't the whole truth.

Unfortunately, the lazy editors at the Enquirer have come to accept this sort of subpar reporting.

Well, I'll say this. Mr. Livingston is on the ball. I have never met the man and don't know him. I don't know what if any personal political agenda he may have. But judging him solely on the merits as a citizen journalist and an amateur investigative reporter, he makes the pros at the Enquirer look like the amateurs.

Perhaps it is unfair for me to single out the Enquirer. Seems to me, all mainstream media has become a sad joke.

If You want the truth about ANYTHING nowadays - you gotta go out and find it for yourself!

If you want to know how fast Anna Nicole Smith is decomposing -- read the Enquirer!

It's going to be so hard for her when she has to fire herself. It's nice that she has such good friends at the Enquirer doing commercials for her and spinning her press releases as news.

She stated herself, if you don't like what I'm doing vote me out... don't worry, here's another place you'll be dismissed from to keep your perfect record.(of being dismissed from your jobs)
