Here's Another Upcoming Election To Talk About

For anyone tired of all the campaigning toward Tuesday...

Campaigning will start soon for president of the Cincinnati police union, the Fraternal Order of Police Lodge 69. Officers vote next month after candidates are officially nominated Nov. 26.

Kathy Harrell, the current president and the first woman elected to the job, plans to run again. Opposing her will be Don Meece, who currently works nights in District 4.

Historically, the police union president has been a powerful force at City Hall. How visible that force is might be among the campaign issues. Meece's supporters say the president needs to be more vocal. But Harrell says she has a good working relationship with city leaders and that you don't have to be loud to be effective.
