Mr. White:

As Editor-in-Chief of The Charlotte Post, I presume you know that plagiarism is a serious issue.  It gets at the heart of your credibility as a publication, and also your integrity.

Dear Commissioners Pepper and Portune:

I am writing this as an open letter for three reasons:  (1) to inquire about the degree to which you intend to implement green technologies in the construction of a new jail; (2) to use this letter to begin a wider discussion among the public about such a concept; and (3) to offer to link you with people who have successfully and inexpensively constructed large projects based on green technologies.

Below is a copy of a letter recently written by Mary Kuhl—complete with all her errors.  Apparently, this was submitted as a letter to the editor to The Enquirer and then a copy was forwarded to some members of City Council.  Kuhl wants to use Lawson’s addiction as a strategy to oppose the Collaborative Agreement.

Dear Councilmember Thomas,

At this past week’s Law and Public Safety Committee meeting, you responded to comments by Councilmember Tarbell—saying that while he cited three states with cities that achieved a lower crime rate through decriminalizing marijuana, the other 47 states have laws similar to Cincinnati’s anti-marijuana ordinance.

Dear Mayor Mallory:

As you are aware, Bill Donabedian recently had a weird idea for inventing a tradition around turning on the Fountain.  Now, it looks like Donabedian has become frustrated—deciding to cancel the entire concept.

Dear Mr. Donabedian:

As you know, we have spent some time inspecting Fountain Square—and one thing we noticed was that all of the signs are in English.  We didn’t even see a multi-lingual welcome sign, which is odd, since we thought Fountain Square was a tourist destination.

Dear Mayor and Members of Council:

As we wrestle with the ongoing issue of Hamilton County’s Corrections and rehabilitation problems I respectfully ask that you revisit legislation previously adopted that criminalizes possession of marijuana resulting in mandatory sentences and instead either repeal the legislation, or rewrite it in a way that results in less incarceration and more treatment.  As we have examined the issue of jail overcrowding I have been approached by numerous members of the county judiciary who have complained that the legislation was unnecessary; inappropriate and a major contributor to current overcrowding.
