Jeff Cramerding:  PAID!
Saturday, November 03, 2007

Image courtesy of here.

Jeff Cramerding, Executive Director of the Charter Party, has been paid tens of thousands of dollars for being on Chris Bortz’s election payroll.  (As of now, that link is not totally up-to-date, so the amount paid to Cramerding is likely to be significantly larger.) The Charter Party endorsed Chris Bortz, but they never indicated that their Executive Director was on their endorsed candidate’s payroll.  The other candidates endorsed by Charter (Melanie Bates and Joan Kaup) have not been paying Jeff Cramerding.

Apartment Association Says NO to Jeff Berding!
Thursday, November 01, 2007

The Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky Apartment Association is reportedly sending the following flyer to their membership list representing 30,000 rental units in the City.  This single flyer could be one of the biggest anti-Berding campaign moves attempting to give Jeff Berding what he deserves:  an eviction notice from City Council!

Cincinnati Federalists Still the Norm?
Monday, November 05, 2007
 

This weekend, I was reading some displays in the Cincinnati History Museum at Union Terminal.  Having a degree in Literature, History was never one of my biggest focal points—so words like “Federalism” have never meant much to me.  But one display panel caught my attention—and I wondered if not much has changed in Cincinnati’s political landscape since the early 19th century.  The panel claimed that while, in the early 1800s, much of Ohio was a Republican stronghold, Cincinnati remained a base for the Federalists, who believed in rule by the monied elite.  Sounds pretty much like the race for City Council in 2007, where businessmen and lawyers have raised over a quarter of a million dollars to hold on to their part-time job offering the glory of political power.

Gov. Ted Strickland Slights Gerald “Jeff” Berding
Wednesday, October 31, 2007

In a recent piece of campaign material sent by Ted Strickland, flailing City Council candidate Jeff Berding got slighted through discreet name placement which ranks him dead last among endorsed Democrats.  The move shows the total lack of faith the Democratic Party has in Jeff Berding, and it is a suitable message for what many consider the final week of campaigning in Berding’s impotent political career.
