Ohio's No. 2 to help out Berding today

From the Berding campaign

Berding Kicks off Re-election Campaign
with Special Guest Lt. Governor Lee Fisher



Cincinnati City Councilman Jeff Berding will kick off his 2007 re-election campaign February 22 at the Westin Hotel at 5:00 pm. Councilman Berding has spent his first term on Council focused on cleaning up blighted neighborhoods, creating a long-term vision for City-wide economic empowerment, and streamlining government to improve City services while ensuring that tax dollars are being spent efficiently.

“Two years ago, I promised to bring strong leadership for change to City Hall. After a year in office, I believe it is evident that I have delivered while learning on the job. We’ve accomplished much, but change is hard and the challenges are great so that we have so much more to do. But I believe that Cincinnati can take a quantum leap forward over another two years and am proud to ask the voters to return me to Council,” said Councilman Berding.

Ohio’s new Lt. Governor Lee Fisher will be in attendance to show his support for Berding’s campaign.

Jeff Berding has been running a group of five votes on all sorts of matters involving:

1-Secrecy
2-Breaking one's word
3-Threats
4-Payback
5-Charter violating
6-Racism
7-Grandstanding
8-Bullllshit
9-Cowardice

as they accomplish absolutely nothing.

Sure, the 5 fight over The Banks and The Jail and attack health clinics and social service programs. They have called a criminal investigation on Health Commissioner Nobel Maseru. They even held a hearing with no purpose other than to embarass and grill The Cincinnati Human Rights Commission. The 5 launched an unprecedented attack on Mark Mallory's city manager appointment. City Manager Milton Dohoney will go down in history with the votes cast against him. They have dismantled the arts funding and have attempted to end recycling and clean air initiatives.
A few of then fill big business ears with hot air to grab campaign cash for themselves, with no real profit to anyone else. They fight with vengeance and pettiness and grudges and fascism and convenience.

With these five starting crap no neighborhood is getting any favors.
They need to stop.

If you think this is a missed opportunity to gut more than the $60K and public humiliation that the people of CHRC went through, than you are an exact excuse for one of them.

They flipped the Chamber an extra $50K without winking an eye. Do you think Jeff Berding is going to grill Nick Vehr on his taxpayer financed travels in The Rules Committee?

This pact needs to end.

Don not put up with it.

What Berding has done in the past year: made life hell for the true Dems on council, embarasssed the Democratic Party, forged alliances with the dark side, & grabbed publicity shamelessly. The one good thing he's done is show his true colors- let's hope voters don't fall for his "I'm a progressive" BS again. It's very disappointing that Lee Fisher would make an appearance in support of Berding- wonder how much Berding or his buddies spent to get Fisher here? Not to mention that Portune lent his name as a host to this event when Berding aided Bedinghaus to try to defeat Portune, and lied to Portune about it.

The committee meeting was on cable- Berding was incredibly rude to Thomas and to Crowley. At one point he yelled at Thomas and said I'm the chair of this committee and you're not even a member and I LET you speak (paraphrasing, but I think the transcripts of committee meetings may be available somewhere)..."

Sounds like bird-dropings has become the self-appointed decider !

PATHETIC !

HAD ENOUGH, VOTE, for a real, DEMOCRAT 2007 !

Democrat activists can't stand it when a member of their own party operates from the center. It illustrates why most of their candidates win on their own despite their party's leadership.
