On the campaign trail, Commissioner Williams talks about how he brought fiscal responsibility to City Hall under his watch. Sure, that’s why the city spent over $4 million first declaring part of Twin Towers blighted, then paying for appraisals, options and buildings in a 12 acre parcel over 5 years of his watch- with no [...]
This story has a happy ending. But, it’s not because we’ve got our priorities right in Dayton. That’s up to Dayton voters tomorrow, who get to decide on if they want a City Commission that works for them, or one that works for the big money that backs the same old dog and pony show [...]
The Boston Marathon bombing will most likely be solved by analyzing thousands of photos, video footage, and a lot of difficult police work. This morning the New York Times tells us that video gives us the first clues: In the first major break in the hunt for the Boston Marathon bomber, F.B.I. personnel on Wednesday [...]
Thinking about alternatives, coming up with creative solutions, keeping going despite past failures is what moves man forward. When I first ran 20 years ago, I was so enamored with a quote from George Bernard Shaw from “Man and Superman” that I put it on all of my campaign literature. I’d not read it in [...]

Voters aren’t supposed to make decisions on who advances to the general election in Montgomery County- [...]
I attended the second hearing of the Montgomery County Court of Appeals today where there were many questions about “substantial compliance” including the part about “what the certificate of candidacy” actually means. All of it was horse hockey. Early voting starts tomorrow and the judges were thinking it was too late to put Pace’s name [...]
I lost a few good friends when I wrote the post, “Who’s the criminal? SCLC, Montgomery County or CareSource? It wasn’t something you publicly say when the payroll taxes of CareSource are the only thing keeping the City coffers filled then or now. Once again, the government is pursuing the little guys instead of the [...]
When the American ambassador to Libya was killed in Benghazi, half way around the world, in a foreign land, in a far from friendly place, Susan Rice made a statement on behalf of the Obama administration based on information provided to her by the intelligence community. It later proved to be inaccurate, and because of [...]
