Two Green Townshipresidents are vying to rep-resent the 30th District inthe Ohio House of Repre-sentatives.

Incumbent State Rep.Lou Terhar, a Republicanwho has been serving asthe districts representa-tive since being appointedin September 2011, seeks toretain his seat againstDemocratic challengerSteve Newsome this No-vember.

Terhar, 63, was appoint-ed to replace RobertMeck-lenborg, who resigned inAugust 2011 following anarrest for driving underthe influence.

Newsome, 25, is a for-mer political co-chairmanof the Human Rights Cam-paign, but this is his firstbid for public office.

NewsomeA marketing manger

forBelterra CasinoResort,NewsomesaidSenateBill 5and the cuts to the localgovernment fund trig-gered his decision to run.

This neighborhood hasbeen my home my entirelife, he said. Im investedin theWest Side somuch sothat Im disappointed tosee our representative vot-ing against our neighbor-hoods time and again.

Newsome said the big-gest issue facing the stateis jobs, which gives way toa larger problem of an ane-mic public school systemstatewide.

He wants to find a solu-tion that funds schools bymeans other than propertytaxes, and ensure the staterecruits and retains the

best teachers possible. Hesaid he also would work toeliminate cuts to the educa-tion budget and investmore in math and science,while helping to keep thecost of college low so wecan have a strong educa-tion system and a greatbase from which to hireinto our economy.

As far as creating jobsand helping small busi-nesses grow, he said heproposes a 50 percent cutto payroll taxes for busi-

nesses with less than 100employees.

My father is a CPA anda small business owner,and if there is one thing Ilearned from him its thatsmall businesses are in thebest position to grow fastand create jobs, he said.

Newsome said he alsosupports creating a smallbusiness capital fund tolend at low rates to thosewho dont want to, or cant,finance privately orthrough banks.

Investing in new sourc-es of energy like wind andsolar is also way to createboth white collar and bluecollar jobs, and he said itwill help Ohio lead the wayin energy independence.

He said another issuefacing Ohio is the need tomake responsible budgetcuts.

We cant afford sweep-

ing cuts to education or ourtownshipbudgets, he said.

In his professional ca-reer, Newsome said hesmanaged employees andbudgets and led innova-tion.

TerharA retired U.S. Navy

commander, Terhar said hewould like to continueserving the people of the30th District.

I believe my back-ground, principles and val-ues align well with the peo-ple in the district, he said.

An example of how hesworked for his constitu-ents was his introductionof House Bill 408, he said.The bill, which was passedby the House, adds twomembers to the CincinnatiMetropolitan Housing Au-thority board to ensureHamilton County town-ships and communities

outside the city of Cincin-nati have a voice in boarddecisions and balancingpublic housing throughoutthe county, Terhar said.

At the state level, hesaid the main issue affect-ing everyone in Ohio isjobs. Terhar said the gov-ernments responsibility isto create an environment

in which the economythrives and allows for peo-ple to find gainful employ-ment.

Anything we can do tomake that happen is criti-cal for Ohio, he said.

He wants to work withlegislators to developplans

for keeping existing busi-nesses here and attractingnew businesses, and hesaid he supports reducingthe tax burden so Ohiocompanies can use thosesavings toward creatingmore jobs.

Maintaining a balancedstate budget is another im-portant issue, he said.

While it was difficultand painful for state law-makers tocut items like thelocal government fund,Terharsaid thosecutswerenecessary to eliminate an$8 billion deficit and bal-ance Ohios budget.

As a member of the Fi-nance And Appropriations

Committee, Terhar saidhes proud legislators havebeen able to hold spendingin check and increase thestates rainy day fund from89 cents in January 2011 tonearly $500 million at theend of fiscal year 2012.

He said he supportskeeping a tight belt on thebudget, without hurtinglow income residents andimportant services.

Looking for like-mindedpeople who enjoy natureand want to get a goodworkout at the same time,Pegge Burkley-Schneider,ownerofBackstreet StudioSalon in Cheviot, beganasking clients if they were

interested in a differentkind of exercise.

That was six years ago.Burkley-Schneiders grouphas since expanded to be-come the Cincinnati ParksHiking Club, and its mem-bershoof italongMountAi-ry Forests trails up tothree times a week.

Some weeks there are

just a handful of people,and sometimes its a wholegroup, said MadelineKorb, another organizerwho is responsible for com-municating to the clubs400-person email list. Hik-ers meet at EverybodysTreehouse, the wheelchair-accessible structure locat-ed at Trail Ridge and Oak

Ridge roads in the forest.They split up by fitness

level, then take on one ormore of the parks 12 trails.Most walks are about amile long, with the StoneSteps providing the most-challenging exercise forthose who are interested.

Saturday and Sundayhikes begin at 8 a.m. FromMarch to November, thegroupwalks onWednesdayat 5 p.m. Beginning Nov. 7,the time shifts to 4:30 p.m.to take advantage of re-maining daylight.

Not only do membersget close-ups of plants andanimals and vistas fromvantage points aroundMount Airys 1,459 acres,they get to meet other peo-ple, elevate their heart rateand learn from trail guidesBurkley-Schneider andRonRiestenburg for free.

Wehave people in their

70s come with us, peoplewith kids as long as theycan keep up and peoplewith pets, Korb said. Themajority of the people arefrom the West Side.

The only times the hik-ing club does not tackleMount Airys trails is whenit is over 90 degrees or un-der 15 degrees, she ex-plained. Otherwise, hikersdeal with the trails and theelements.

Fifth Third Bank andthe Dornette Foundation,

as well as the CincinnatiParks Foundation, sponsorthe Cincinnati Parks Hik-ing Club, which is open tonew members all the time,Korb said. We suggestgood hiking shoes andwalking poles for an upper-body workout.

The Cincinnati ParksHiking Club has a Face-book page (CincinnatiParks Hiking Club). Addi-tional information can befound at www.hikecincy-parks.com.

The 29th District willhave a new representativein the Ohio Statehouse thisyear as incumbent LouisBlessing Jr. retires due toterm limits after almostthreedecades inColumbus.

Republican Louis W.Blessing III, known as Bill,

is making his first bid forpublic office, opposing 17-year Whitewater TownshipTrustee Democrat HubertBrown.

Blessing is the son of in-cumbent State Rep. LouisW. Blessing Jr., who hasheld the seat for 20 years,

with a seven-year breakduring which he served inthe Ohio Senate.

Republican candidateBill Blessing says he wantstofocusonmakingOhioandthe 29th District betterplaces to do business. Theincentives to start a smallbusiness are too few, whilethe liabilities of running asmall business are toogreat, he said.

Working in a small busi-ness, he says he sees firsthand the difficulties thosebusinesses face.

Blessingsaysoneway toimprove the business cli-mate is by reducing taxesandcreatinga level playingfield for all businesses.

He says education is ahighpriorityforhim,buthedoes not favor massivefunding increases to elimi-nate the problems he seeswith the education system.

I propose that educa-tion be treated like a busi-

ness, he said. Poorly per-forming schools should beclosed down in the samesense that poorly perform-ingbusinessesgobankrupt.With that inmind, I supportschool vouchers, tuition taxcredits, and school choice.

Blessing is unfazed byassertions that he lacks ex-perience in government. Ithink having the right ideasismore important thanhav-ing experience, he said.And neither of us havestate government experi-ence.

Democrat HubertBrown says experiencedoes matter. He brings 17years of experience as atownship trustee to his bidfor state office. He says af-ter years of complainingabout what has come downthe road from Columbus itwas not a big step to decideto try todosomethingaboutitbyrunningfor the legisla-ture and trying to bring lo-

cal communities concernsto the state capital.

Brown says his oppo-nents lack of experienceshould be a concern to vot-ers.

He is 31, never servedin any function of publicservice and still lives withMom and Dad, he said.What does he know aboutproperty taxes, unemploy-ment benefits, workerscomp, retirement issues,management of public em-ployees, budgets and theother important issues fac-ing Ohioans?

Brown says Blessing isrunning on the familyname, treating the state-house like a family busi-ness. His name is Bill buthis signs say Lou, Brownsaid. Hes running on hisfathers name.

Brown says he thinksresidents of the district areconcerned about educationand public safety.

Those wishing to donatenon-perishable food itemscan drop them off at any ofthe six Salvation ArmyCommunityCenters from9am to 3 pm, daily.

Salvation Armypantries need help

Combined, John ONeilland Karen Trotta havenearly 70 years experiencecreatingbeautiful floralar-rangements.

And theyve been usingtheir skills to design ar-rangements and bouquetsat the sameWest Side flow-er shop for all those years.

Its a really good work-ing environment, saidONeill, a Delhi Townshipresidentwho has been a de-signer at Lutz Flowers for38 years.

And we always smellgood at the end of the day.

Trotta, who lives inCheviot, marked her 30thanniversary with theCrookshankRoad shop thisyear.

She said she startedworking for Lutz when thefamily-owned florist usedto be on White Street inSouth Fairmount.

I walked by the shopevery day when I was tak-ing my kids to school, shesaid. I stopped in andbugged them until theygave me a job.

The owners finally

caved to her persistence,and shes repaid the busi-ness with three decades ofloyalty.

Trotta saidafter shewashired ONeill was taskedwith teaching her the art offloral design.

He showed me theropes, she said.

ONeill jokingly added,She was a good student,but she could misbehave.

He saidhe studiedhorti-culture at theUniversity ofKentucky, and was draftedby the U.S. Army after col-lege.

When he returned homefrom the Vietnam War, hesaid he sort of fell into thedesign aspect of the floralbusiness.

I enjoy the beauty ofthe flowers, and helpingpeople, he said. We dealwith a lot of emotions, fromhappiness to sorrow.

Setoncommendedstudents Several hundred studentsattending 35 junior and senior

high schools from acrossGreater Cincinnati will takepart in the annual Youth inCity Government (YICG) pro-gram sponsored by the YMCAof Greater Cincinnati, in co-operation with local govern-ment and school leaders.

The program will be Tues-day, Oct. 30, at Duke EnergyCenter, and Oct. 31 at Cincin-nati City Hall.

The Ys Youth in City Gov-ernment program givesyoung people an opportunityto learn first-hand about gov-ernment and civic issues, bytaking an active role in thedemocratic process, saidYMCA of Greater CincinnatiPresident and Chief Execu-tive Officer Sandy Walker.The program is designed tohelp students of diverse back-grounds develop criticalthinking skills and strengtheninterpersonal skills, whileraising awareness of commu-nity issues and investigating

possible solutions.Students will take part in

workshops about city issues,

engage in debates about localissues, and write ordinances,said Heather Couch, director

of the YMCA of Greater Cin-cinnati YICG program.Those involved will have aunique opportunity to meetwith city leaders, discuss theimportance of voting, andtake part in an election forcouncil.

Youth in City Governmentis that place where studentswith the spark and potential ofleadership get their start andcarry on the torch of leader-ship that will build a better fu-ture for our community, ournation, and our world, saidPatrick Reagan, a recentgraduate of Aldersgate Chris-tian Academy. He served asmayor when he took part inthe Youth in Government pro-gram.

The Youth in City Govern-ment program has honestlychanged my life, added Ste-ven, a student at the Schoolfor Creative and PerformingArts in Cincinnati. Being apart of youth council has real-ly allowed me to discover adifferent side of me.

Seton High School seniorsare busy thinking about howthey will take charge of theirlearning experience.

The Capstone-like SeniorProject begins its second yearat Seton and students just fin-ished presenting their topics toa panel of staff members. Thisis the first step in the five-partproject. Now that the proposalshave been approved, studentswill begin working on a re-search paper that demonstratesa learning stretch. For example,one member of the senior classwants to help her classmatesget in shape and eat well, andher research paperwill focus onwhat motivates people to gethealthy.

While the paper is in pro-gress, students begin the fieldwork portion of their project.Working closely with a mentor,students will complete at least15 hours of field work. In May,the experience will concludewith each student giving a for-mal oral presentation to a panelof staff, faculty and communitymembers.

Senior Project CoordinatorAnna Downey is excited to be-gin the second year of this pro-ject.

The Senior Project is used inhigh schools across the UnitedStates to empower students totake charge of their learningand remain engaged in the cur-riculum throughout their senioryear.

If you are interested in serv-ing as a judge for presentationday in May, contact Downey [email protected].

Seton only managed toscore once on the road Satur-day, Oct. 20, againstMount No-tre Dame, but the Saints de-fense stood firm to snag theupset win in a 1-0 Division Igirls soccer sectional semifi-nal.

Seton, ranked 21st in theSouthwest District, entered

the game with only three winsto its credit. Fifth-rankedMount Notre Dame racked up10 wins during the regular sea-son and was only shut out oncein 16 games. But those num-bers meant little Saturday onthe Cougars home turf.

In the 27th minute, Saintssenior midfielder Erika LaRo-sa scored her fourth goal of theyear on an assist from class-

mate Ashley Bretnitz. Fromtheir, the teams defense tookover. Senior defenders EmilyGramke and Jessie Woesteclogged the middle of the fieldto impede the Cougars attack.

Mount Notre Dame seniorforwardRose Lavelle, whowillcontinue her career at Wiscon-sin, led the Girls GreaterCatholic League Scarlet Divi-sion with 15 goals this season,

but neither she nor her team-mates could beat junior goal-keeper Allie Luebbering, whomade seven saves to earn hersecond straight shutout.

Seton (4-9-5) was 0-4-1 inGGCL Scarlet play this year,while Mount Notre Dame (11-3-3) went 3-1-1 with a 3-0 roadwin against Seton. The Saintshad not scored against theCou-gars since a 3-2 win in 2010.

After making it to the statetournament eight years in arow, the St. Xavier Bombersmissed out in 2012 by sevenstrokes. As a team, they shot320 at the district tournamentOct. 11 at Weatherwax GolfCourse to finish fourth behindMason (300), Centerville (309)and Moeller (313).

Obviously it was a verydisappointing day for St.Xavier, coach Alex Kepleysaid. We made it to stateeight straight years and thatpressure starts to weigh onyou to continue to achievethat.

The day didnt start wellfor the Bombers as their fivegolfers were a combined15-over-par through the firstthree holes. In fact, AdamSchupp was the only Bomberto shoot under 40 on the frontnine at Weatherwax played on

the Woodside Course.That was the difference,

Kepley said. We had a verygood comeback on the backnine but unfortunately, it wasa little too late.

The back nine was playedon the Highlands Course and

the Bombers were a com-bined 12-over-par.

I think the combination ofthe two-hour front delay andthem being a little anxiousgetting out there, Kepleysaid about the slow start.After (the first three holes)

they settled down. Districtsare the most pressure-packedday of the year. Its do or dieout there. It goes on or itsover.

ElderThe Panthers season came

to a close after shooting 332to finish ninth at the DivisionI district tournament.

Senior Brennan Walsh ledthe squad with a 5-over-par 77to finish tied for 12th overall.

Zach Willmes, Zach Bauerand Kurt Fortman all shot 85,while Ben Beall finished witha 90.

The Panthers finishedfourth in the GCL South tour-nament and Walsh finishedfifth with a nine-hole scoringaverage of 37.80.

WESTWOOD It was ahistoricyear forMotherofMercy High School juniorElizabeth Staley.

Not only did the tennisstar make a run to the dis-trict tournament, she setthe Bobcat record formost singles victories inschool history, as her ca-reer record sits at 44-18with oneyear still aheadofher.

The wins didnt showit, but in general our teamand girls worked reallyhard, Staley said. I pret-ty proud of our season andI broke the record I reallywanted to accomplish.

While she bowed out ofdistricts in the first roundwith a loss to Julie Brock-man of Springboro, herrun to the districts waslike nothing else she expe-rienced in tennis.

The feeling was justamazing, Staley said. Iwasvery emotionalwhen Igot off the court and mycoaches toldme. Its one ofthe accomplishments Ivewanted to achieve sincemy freshman year.

With tennis being an in-dividual sport at most lev-els, the team aspect at thehigh-school level reallyprovided a circle of sup-port and encouragementfor Staley and her team-

mates this season.Its a very different

experienceforme,Staleysaid. Playing (U.S. TennisAssociation) tournamentsthroughout my life andthen being on a team aretwo different experienc-es, but I wouldnt changethis for anything. Theteam bond is something Inever had in tennis. Ourteam is so strong and, hon-estly, I could not tell youhow much it helps yourmental and physical statewhen you are out there.

There is no doubt therun this season will helpStaley when it comes toher senior season.

Imean itwill helpwithexperience, but Im disap-pointed I didnt go tostate, she said. Now itsjust another goal for nextseason.

While there is alwaysroom for improvement,surprisingly the one thingthe Bobcat wants to workon is having more fun onthe court.

Imvery intenseon thecourt and I want to be per-fect, Staley said. That issomething every athletestrives for. I think I donthave as much fun as Ishould sometimes.

The junior is taking acouple weeks off but willresume practice and play-ing in USTA tournamentsover the winter .

OCTOBER 24, 2012 DELHI PRESS A11

Candidates run for office fora myriad of reasons, but mine istwo-fold: the imperative to im-prove the economy and employ-ment picture and what is thebest way to accomplish thatgoal. Much has been writtenabout both points, but everyoneagrees that unemployment is amajor problem and steps toreduce it need to be taken yes-terday.

As a member of GenerationX or Y, depending on the defini-tion used, I can say that we havebeen especially hard hit as un-employment numbers are high-er for us than those over 35.Moreover, student loan debt, forthose of us that attended col-lege, has outpaced inflation overthe past 30 years making oursituation all the more desperate

as we cannotpay off ourloans withoutjobs.

At the sametime, the elder-ly, many ofwhom are onfixed incomes,are seeing theirpurchasingpower reduced

through inflation, while at thesame time losing benefits be-cause of Social Security, Medi-care, and Medicaid shortfalls.At any rate, we as a society arenot winning if the unemploy-ment rate remains above 8 per-cent, which is actually a lowfigure as those who have quitlooking for work are not count-ed. Its encouraging that our

state government has managedto knock Ohios unemploymentrate down to 7.2 percent as ofthis writing, but that number isstill nothing to write homeabout.

Given these grim facts, whatshould be done? After watchingeach round of quantitativeeasing fail to do anything, savefor run up our national debt, dowe seriously believe that we canspend our way out of a reces-sion? Remember that the gov-ernment cannot spend money onone group of citizens withoutfirst taking it away from anoth-er group, either directlythrough taxes or indirectlythrough inflation. Does it feellike government intervention,bailouts and the like, has helpedanything? I certainly dont think

so. I believe that we need tounleash the private sector andallow businesses, particularlysmall ones, to do what they dobest: create great products andprovide wonderful services.

In order to do that, though,they will need to begin hiringagain and that is precisely whenwell see the start of a recovery.However, the government needsto get out of the way by reduc-ing taxes and spending as wellas removing any regulationsthat have no clear benefit. Afterall, it is difficult for businessesto hire employees and remainprofitable when they are beingtaxed and regulated to death.

Im running for state repre-sentative because it pains me tosee these problems affecting myfriends, family, and community,

while the same tried and failedpolicies are implemented tosolve them. I want to help createa government that is run like asmall business: lean, efficient,and cost-effective; we are theones funding the governmentwith our taxes, shouldnt we getthe best bang for our buck?

Solving these problems willbe difficult, to say the least, butwere Americans and well get itdone.

Republican Louis Bill Blessing IIIis a candidate for the 29th Districtseat in the Ohio House of Repre-sentatives. The district includesColerain, Crosby, Harrison, White-water and Miami townships, the cityof Harrison, villages of Addyston,Cleves and North Bend, Sayler Parkand two wards in Price Hill.

Unemployment, economy are major issues

Bill BlessingCOMMUNITY PRESSGUEST COLUMNIST

I would like to introducemyself. My name is HubertBrown and I am a candidatefor Ohio State Representativein the 29th District.

I grew up in Colerain Town-ship at the corner of Benhilland Cheviot Road in WhiteOak. I attended MonfortHeights Elementary, White

Oak JuniorHigh andgraduatedfrom ColerainHigh School. Igraduatedfrom UC as acommuterstudent fromWhite Oak.After college,I worked as anelectrician,

retiring in 2006. I am now thebranch manager of City Elec-tric Supply in Harrison.

I live in Whitewater Town-ship and have been electedtownship trustee five consec-utive terms, now in my 17thyear. In those years, I havebalanced budgets withoutraising taxes or laying offemployees. I have workedwith other trustees, city coun-cils and village and countyofficials. I worked hard tomake our community saferand better and enjoyed everyday as a public official. Aftercomplaining about what comesdown from Columbus it is onlynatural for me to run for staterepresentative to take ourcommunities problems andconcerns to the state capital. Iwelcome the campaign andlook forward to serving you inColumbus.

This is an open seat, with-out an incumbent. Our currentstate representative hasserved four terms and istermed out. We will have anew representative in 2013.My opponent is the son of ourcurrent state representative.He is 31 years old, has neverserved in any function of pub-lic service, still lives withmom and dad and doesnt ownany property. What does heknow about property taxes,unemployment insurance,workers comp, retirementissues, management of publicemployees, budgets and theother important issues facingOhioans? The Statehouseshould not be a family-runbusiness. Serving the commu-nity is like respect; you have

to earn it one person at a time.His name is Bill, but his signssay Lou. He is running on hisfathers name.

I have the endorsement ofthe FOP, the firefighters,teachers and Sierra Club withmore on the way. Campaigningis fun, and I am meeting manypeople who care about theircommunity and are quick totell me what policies I shouldtake to Columbus. I look for-ward to meeting with you, oryou can call me at 513-353-3111; Im in the phone book andI will find time to call or meetwith you.

I invite you to be part of theelecting of our next state rep-resentative. You will seesigns, T-shirts, and mailings.Unlike my opponent, the sonof the existing state repre-sentative, I cant afford to domuch more.

Please take the time to getto know me. I have a website brownieforohiorep.com and Iam on Facebook. But I hope tomeet you and say hello. Youwill find that my 17 years ofpublic service means I knowhow to listen and respond tothose I serve.

Democrat Hubert Brown is a candi-date for the 29th District seat in theOhio House of Representatives. Thedistrict includes Colerain, Crosby,Harrison, Whitewater and Miamitownships, the city of Harrison,villages of Addyston, Cleves andNorth Bend, Sayler Park and twowards in Price Hill.

Experience matters asstate representative

Hubert BrownCOMMUNITY PRESSGUEST COLUMNIST

Some of you may under-stand what I want to tell you.Others are too young and willunderstand when you areolder. I have never beforetalked with you about politics.However, this year our coun-try is facing the most impor-tant election in my life.

Over 2,000 yearrs ago,Jesus gave us a map for ourlives. He gave us Christianprinciples that are written inthe New Testament. Throughour families and churches, welearn to follow these princi-ples to live good lives andgive glory to God.

In the United States wehave the Constitution and Billof Rights to protect our free-dom, but some people in gov-ernment are trying to changeour basic concepts of faith,family, and freedom.

The president and somelawmakers want the govern-ment to be in control of every-thing. They think they knowwhat is best for us. God gaveus free will and the ability touse our consciences to deter-mine what is right and wrong.He gave us natural law tofollow to help us live healthy

lives. He gaveus command-ments to helpus live in har-mony withother people.

Some peo-ple in govern-ment do notrespect Godsgreatest cre-ation human

life. God created us in Hisimage and likeness. He gaveus dignity as His sons anddaughters. He alone decideswhen we live and when wedie.

However, some men andwomen think it is their rightto decide who lives and dies.They want to kill some babiesbefore they are born. This iscalled abortion. They want tokill some disabled or olderpeople whom they considernot valuable to our society.This is called euthanasia.

Now our churches are indanger because some leadersin our government want totake away our religious free-dom. Religious freedommeans we follow our con-sciences in the way we live

our lives. For example, if webelieve that abortion iswrong, we do not pay for abor-tions through taxes. If phar-macists believe that abortionis wrong, they do not fill pre-scriptions that cause abor-tions.

The current governmentwants to take away our abilityto continue some of ourchurches good works. In anorder (Health and HumanServices Mandate), the gov-ernment decided that the onlysort of religious activity itwill protect is private wor-ship. Worship is only part ofour faith. As Christians wehave always been called toserve others. When we loveour neighbor as ourselves, wetake care of all people whoneed helpnot just those whobelong to our churches.

My dear grandchildren,pray for our nation as wevote. Remember that freedomand human rights come fromGod, not the government. Godbless you and God blessAmerica!

An open letter to mygrandchildren on the elections

Judy BonhausCOMMUNITY PRESSGUEST COLUMNIST

County government is anadministrative arm of thestate and has prescribed du-ties. It is a limited form ofgovernment intended to pro-vide specific services. Weshould work together to deter-mine how best to do theminstead of trying to imaginenew initiatives which are notrequired and are not part ofthe purpose of county govern-ment.

Our current fiscal prob-lems are the direct result ofcounty administrations ex-tending themselves well be-yond required duties for atleast the past 20 years. Whilevoters approved a half-per-cent county-wide sales tax tobuild two sports stadiums, Idont recall a massive, largelypublicly funded new resi-dential-restaurant complexbetween them as being part ofthe deal.

Yet The Banks took on alife of its own, egged on byEnquirer editorials and vari-

ous downtownpromoters.The generalidea was thatwe are some-how incom-plete without(a) lots ofpeople livingdowntown and(b) variousspecialty

restaurants near their abodes.It was never explained whythe county had to assumeresponsibility for developingthe city of Cincinnatis river-front. Nor was it ever madeclear why encouraging peopleto live there was a govern-ment duty.

What that has meant totaxpayers in part is mil-lions of dollars to a privatelaw firm, outrageous loansand subsidies to restaurantsand over half a million dollarsto an inclusion consultant. Acounty that last year was ableto find $2.75 million to loan

to a country-western bar isnow planning on laying off300 employees and drasticallycutting state mandated ser-vices, our real job.

The county may not be ableto incarcerate or prosecutecriminals, schedule courtcases, do proper accounting,or respond to financial in-formation requests from localgovernments and school dis-tricts but we sure can guaran-tee that a favored few can geta subsidized condo on theriverfront and drown theirsorrows at a taxpayer fundedbar at The Banks.

A memorable momentduring the past decade wasthe public meeting when oneof our county commissionersgrandly announced, We aregoing to create our own eco-nomic reality here in Hamil-ton County. They certainlyhave.

Dusty Rhodes is the HamiltonCounty Auditor.
