Come to Cincinnati--and bring your money with you.
A group of local leaders is going to Washington D.C. to talk up Cincinnati. But they're not seeking the ears of their congressmen this time.
They're trying to woo the National Forum for Black Public Administrators. Why? Because the organization, which considers itself the nation's premiere association of Black public leadership, is holding a convention in 2011, but it hasn't decided where.
Cincinnati City Manager Milton Dohoney, Cincinnati Police Chief Tom Streicher, County Commissioner Todd Portune and the county’s Small Business Development Director Bernice Walker, who also heads the local NFBPA chapter, will try to convince the organization that Cincinnati is its best choice.
Several cities, including St. Louis and Chicago, are in the running to host the three-day convention, which would bring 3,000 people and an estimated $2.7 million in economic impact to the region.

Why does the county have a small business development office? This should be eliminated immediately as part of an austerity budget.
Aren't we facing a massive shortfall?
