CINCINNATI COUNCILWOMAN DOES WORSE THING THAN STEVE FRANK
So where's the national outrage toward Leslie Ghiz? After receiving two emails from citizens upset with her pressuring Cincinnati's city manager to remove the Occupy Cincinnati protestors, Ghiz posted them in their entirety to her Facebook page, including the personal details of the people's home and email addresses. Ghiz deleted the post when it started circulating on Twitter.
We purposely didn't publish screen shots of the posts due to the private information involved. It would have been relevant only in demonstrating the pettiness with which Ghiz offered the critics' opinions to her collection of angry friends. “These are some of the lovely emails my campaign has been getting because I believe the law should be applied evenly and equally to everyone,” the first introduction reads. How does she expect people to react to such sarcasm?CityBeat

MORE COVINGTON TRAFFIC DELAYS, THIS TIME IN LATONIA
Yikes, busy Winston Avenue down to one-lane each way? But the potholes will soon be gone! Beginning tomorrow (Friday, October 21, 2011), the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC) is going to set up the lane closures necessary to replace the bad slabs of concrete pavement between Grand Avenue and 43rd Street on Winston Avenue. This work will take place this weekend and next weekend. One lane of traffic in each direction will be maintained both weekends and normal traffic patterns will remain during the week. Once the slabs are replaced, another contractor will come in and patch the smaller potholes with a polymer material that will last longer than standard hotmix that is used.

MAYBE THIS HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH STRUGGLING SCHOOLS...
More than 1 in 4 of Kentucky's children now live in poverty, an increase to 26.3% in the 2010 census from 20.8% in 2000. Overall, 19% of Kentuckians live in poverty now, good enough for 48th place nationally.

ONE ICE CREAM FLAVOR THAT'S TOO HOT FOR THE FREEZER
Ben & Jerry's "Schweddy Balls" is not a hit with grocery chains.
The flavor featuring fudge-covered rum balls has been absent from some grocery freezers since it was unveiled. The title was inspired by an innuendo-laced 1998 skit featuring Alec Baldwin as baker Pete Schweddy, who promises, "No one can resist my Schweddy balls."
Anybody see it anywhere in Covington or the other River Cities?
