	What's the emergency to enter into job creation with NCI Group for #1? What's the hurry? #2- amending the zoning changes from the ones listed to what other zoning designations? Why the changes? #5- what "adjustments" will be made concerning the General Fund-aka the Black Hole- specifically what "expenses" and "other expenditures". Again, ambiguity when dealing with finances here. Again, why the emergency? #6- an attempt to keep certain elements out of certain parts of the city perhaps?- namely the S, Main St snobs #7- how many bids were considered before deciding on EIMCO? #8- dedication of what right of way? These may be explained in more detail. Just too lazy to read 'em.

	Here are just a couple of the things I noticed earlier tonight: 1. I found it interesting that Allen abstained from voting to appoint himself to boards and commissions, but Mulligan did not do likewise. 2. The City Manager admitted that the Finance Director called each council member in turn to discuss the same item of city business outside of a public meeting! Isn’t that EXACTLY what State ex rel. Cincinnati Post v. Cincinnati (1996) was about??? Back-to-back discussions on the same subject, which, taken together, were held with a majority of council members, violated the provisions of R.C. 121.22, which: “shall be liberally construed to require public officials … to conduct all deliberations upon official business only in open meetings”! Isn’t that EXACTLY what, in the opinion for the majority, Ohio Supreme Court Justice Pfeifer wrote: “To find that the City of Cincinnati's game of ‘legislative musical chairs’ is allowable under the Sunshine Law would be to ignore the legislative intent of the statute, disregard its evident purpose, and allow an absurd result.” That's all. It's getting late and I wouldn't want to turn this into a "rant"!

	Hey, on another note. What's the deal with no more money being allocated to mow the grass in the paper today? Seems the city has run out of money to take care of their obligations. Gilleland says that it would take two months to find some funds for this. How about all the times they do the "emergency legislation" thing to allocate money in quick fashion for their pet projects? Guess the mowing ain't high on their list. Kinda conflicts with the letters sent out to the folks with rusty gutters. paint peeling off garages and grass over 6 " tall doesn't it? Here we have a city that is quick to nail the residents for the way their property looks and then turn around and ignore the city's obligations for upkeep and maintenance. The old "do as I say, not as I do" thing again?

	Maybe they should have the people who go around looking for violations, preparing the citations, and mailing the letters, go out and mow grass instead.
