Behind Every Candidate...
First of all, nothing but respect for Queen City Forum for doing this weekly(???) segment about City Council candidates.
The segment on Damon Lynch III, however, left a lot to be desired. It reads like a campaign advertisement without the clever wordplay. I can just picture a volunteer staffer typing late at night "People who really know Damon Lynch III love him."
Isn't that wonderful!
The "guest columnist" continues
Unfortunately, Lynch's strategy for dealing with this is to put them in "Curfew Centers" in an atempt to "get these children off the street and out of harms way."

The City of Cincinnati is in a state of emergency where our youth and crime are concerned. The system is failing them. Jobs are lacking, the school system needs substancial improvement, and unfortunately, once they get into trouble, it’s terribly difficult for them to integrate back into society. Our young people are dying and their families and community are in despair.

The column is a good idea, but it doesn't even qualify as "weekly(???)," more like "every once in a great while, maybe."
Now, for the shameless self-promotion:
If you follow this link, you can see a large list of interviews with council candidates from my web magazine. The list includes (from most recently): Robert Wilking, Eve Bolton, Victor Phillips, David Crowley, Laketa Cole, Bill Barron, John Eby, Gordon Amerika, Justin Jeffe, Andrew Warner, and Robert Wilson.
Also, at this link (my letters section) you can find stuff written by Mark Mallory, Sam Malone, and Justin Jeffre.
Finally, if you explore this link, which holds many Guest Writers, you can find a wealth of information on the 2nd District Congressional Race, as well as articles by Justin Jeffre, Mark Mallory, Paul McGhee, and Alicia Reece.
In all honesty, I hope these words from the candidates can help shed light on anyone's upcoming vote. One of these days, I will collate all contemporary candidate writing into one, easy spot. But I haven't gotten that far along yet!

The site said it was weekly but the column on Lynch (June) seemed to be the latest one.
Keep doing your thing Dean, people are reading.

The dean always plugs his site. I read it sometimes but it is the ugliest blog and sometimes far too windy.

Dean -
And you have the gumption to call me "bitter"?
That is amazing that you would take somebody's good idea and then point out the bad things with the site. You are an amazingly petty person.
