Congressman-turned-chauffeur
There's usually just one politician at Mayor Mark Mallory's press conferences. Him.
But today, as he announced which neighborhoods get ArtWorks murals this summer (Millvale, Roselawn, Madisonville, Walnut Hills, Clifton, Over-the-Rhine and downtown), another Democrat was in the crowd - Tom Luken, former congressman, mayor and councilman.
Luken (at left, talking with The Enquirer's Pam Fisher) was there with his 15-year-old granddaughter, who's going to paint the murals this summer with 80-some other kids. He drove her there.
He also took her to Columbus for Gov. Strickland's inauguration. Maybe she'll be the next Luken family politician?
He laughed at the suggestion. "I hope she sticks to art."

Post a Comment*Mr. Luken is merely attempting to grand-stand the art world and now it appears he may be headed for a life of painting murals. He is a great man of faith and homeliness.
PATHETIC !
HAD ENOUGH, VOTE DEMOCRAT 2007
Tom Luken has never made a public statement about the War in Iraq, or the war on terrorism.
Why not? He served in Congress with John Murtha.
Luken had just in recent years made public comments about his opposition to capital punishment, including at one point, participating in a "candlelight vigil."
So Enquirer Reporter Pam Fisher, this question is directed to you: ask "TAL" what his position is on the war in Iraq.
Neither Tom Luken, nor to my knowledge, Charlie Luken, has ever made a comment about this matter. Both lived through "Vietnam."
Why the silence?
