If You Were Mayor of Cincinnati

This is the kind of stuff you might be doing. At least, it's the stuff Mayor Mark Mallory's doing:

Touring Lunken Airport: he went up Monday into the tower, saw the original hangars and said the control tower there is the oldest operating one in the country. He wants to get it on the National Register of Historic Places. "I always like to point out and talk about the assets of the city."



Commenting about Monday night's Monday Night Football game, which he watched downtown at Cadillac Ranch after walking amid the tailgaters before the game and stopping on Fountain Square, where he said all the seats to watch the game on the big screen were taken: "Boy, wasn't last night great? It was a lot of fun." With the tailgaters, he found "a lot of people cooking a lot of great food and just talking about how great the city is." Check out the pictures being put on http://www.mayormallory.com/. In case you're wondering, he wore a black suit and orange tie. Plus a Bengals lapel pin.

Taking a tour Tuesday of 2265 Loth St. in Mount Auburn, which young people in the Blueprint for Success program of the Cincinnati-Hamilton County Community Action agency renovated.



Talking with Willie Carden on Thursday about the 2008 operating budget.



Taking applications for his Young Professionals Kitchen Cabinet. He plans to announce the leaders of its 10 committees the week after next and release a report on the cabinet's first year.

I know The Enquirer covers for this bufoon, but do you have to keep printing this stuff like it is serious? It is embarrassing to everyone, I guess, but Enquirer reporters.

If I had the Mayor's chair, I wouldn't be doing this cotton candy-fluff crap. Yeah, I'd be going over the 2008 operating budget with Carden.

I'd be finding ways to reduce the crime & disorder in this city. I'd be gagging the City Manager over his screwing of the City Retirees on their benefits. I'd be running the CityLink people out of the West End. I'd be on the backs of the lecherous slumlords & their rent-to-own schemes. Ditto for the mortgage lenders & their larcenous rates that end in foreclosure. And so much more.

With all that, I'd be far too busy for the silliness this Mayor continues to engage in, much to the dismay of many who continue to live in the City. Those who voted for him got exactly what they asked for.

heck, I was at the Lunken Tower every Monday night for years (my son was in Civil Air Patrol there).

Does that make me vice-mayor?
