Census Challenge PR from NYC
Mayor Mark Mallory's efforts to boost Cincinnati's population figures have gotten a lot of local attention in the last couple of weeks. But from the looks of this press release sent out nationally, it looks like he'd like the rest of the country to know, too.

Post a Comment*How does it help Cincinnati to make this national? Shows that nothing good or special happened here-just that every city was undercounted.
Duh.
Actually, it was really stupid for Mallory to try to get headlines out of this locally much less nationally. The same tactics he has used to boost our population, and therefore a greater allocation of federal and state dollars, not to mention tourism and a piece of the puzzle in attracting businesses to Cincinnati - but he is announcing and disclosing the technique, that , undoubtably, if and when used in other jurisdictions would likely have the same result.
The problem is - once all the wheels on this funding mechanism get balanced as Mallory spreads the word on how to do the trick - Cincinnati will lose ground in the leveled playing field .
Stupid, stupid, stupid.
Ego over strategy - we just had another shoooting in CIncinnati - it was Mallory shooting himself in the foot.
