It’s been interesting to watch how Wikileaks made the last big leak available, to traditional media first and the rest of us later. Wasn’t that the point of the web- access to everybody? But, in this information overloaded society- we still look to...

It is who you know. DDC hires Howard?
While it’s almost impossible to figure out why the Dayton Development Coalition gets to hand over no-bid contracts to Congressman Turner’s wife, and pays its President almost more than the City Manager of Dayton and the County Administrator COMBINED,...
The Dayton Development Coalition is listening to esrati.com
Back on Feb 18th I suggested the Dayton Development Coalition put together a bid for Google Fiber to come to Dayton. Today they launched another “Real Art” production (from the folks that brought you Qbase, Get Midwest, H2OH! and that...
Your tax money, not being spent on you: Corporate Welfare in Ohio
State lawmakers are thinking about ditching the $20 late fee on license plates now that so many have complained. Now they posture and say they don’t want to hit us with “hidden fees.” Yet, no one is screaming loudly enough about these “Rapid...
Prophets?
The “told you so” edition of the Dayton Grassroots Daily Show. It’s easy to listen to the company line, until the company decides to pull up stakes and head out of town. We’ve been hit like a punching bag for the last ten years, and if you only...

It was close again, as it was when Turner beat Dixon, and when McLin beat Turner. Gary Leitzell did it with less money than anyone, being outspent 10-1 at least. When we both turned in our petitions, Gary marveled at how both of us had 80%+ of our signatures valid,...
The Dem slate card is being delivered
Started seeing the Montgomery County Democratic Party slate cards on doorsteps. They call it the “2009 Election Report” and it says “Dayton: Ready for Lift-off.” However, the two issues on it have me wondering what’s wrong with the party...
The best politicians money can buy: money first, legislate second
I’m a failure as a candidate, because I don’t want to raise scads of money to spend with media companies like the Dayton Daily News, or their sister Channel 7. I don’t want to send attack mailings like Rhine McLin. I don’t want to engage in...
