Hey Bill Clinton, Can You Help?

He's not saying exactly what for, but Mayor Mark Mallory plans to call on former President Bill Clinton to help Cincinnati.

Clinton has offered to help the city before, the mayor says, and he repeated that offer last week when the two men met while Clinton was here to raise money for his presidency-seeking wife. They talked about race relations, young people and improving public transportation, the mayor says.

"He's interested in helping in any way he possibly can," Mallory said of Clinton. "He's made that offer several times now. And I'm going to call him."

Asked what specifically he would ask the ex-president to do, the mayor said: "He has a way of bringing attention to an issue that I think will be very helpful to us."
