Contrary to , Joan Kaup will not be Jim Tarbell’s replacement on City Council.  It will be Roxanne Qualls!  I think this is delightful news, particularly because I think Joan Kaup is an egocentric elitist unfit for serving public office, specifically given her disrespectful treatment of The Cincinnati Beacon when all we wanted to do was give her a free platform.

I know plenty of people will have things to say about Roxanne Qualls.  There will be plenty of time to explore those criticisms later.  But Qualls is not a political wannabe like Melanie Bates using a family tragedy to promote a political agenda of fear (an agenda that, we might remember, is only one of convenience—don’t forget how she ditched Charlie Winburn because someone questioned her alliance with a Republican), and Qualls is not a rude elitist like Joan Kaup who refuses to talk to people.
