Dear WCPO, where is the love for The River City News?
WCPO (Channel 9) offered a half-hearted report on Covington's food truck debate and included this nugget:
The city tested the popularity of food trucks last week with it's Food Truck Invasion. Four mobile food vendors gathered outside city hall to serve meals on wheels. According to one blog, 400 orders were taken at the four vendors.According to one blog. That would be this blog. Hey, WCPO, it's OK to say The River City News's name and maybe throw a link up to cite the source.

COUNTY COMMISSIONERS EXPLAIN 911 DISPATCH VOTE
After failing to pass a law that would fund Kenton County's consolidated 911 emergency dispatch center through a $6 fee attached to Duke Energy bills, Commissioners Beth Sewell and Kris Knochelman explain their votes against it:
Sewell called the tactic “sneaky” and said after the meeting that she voted against this method of payment because she doesn’t think it’s transparent.Cincinnati Enquirer/Libby Cunningham
“It’s on the bill, it’d be on the Duke (Energy) bill, well that’s true,” she said. “I just worry when it’s not in one lump sum on a tax bill where you can see it, there’s opportunity for government to put it other places.”

PAPA JOHN'S CEO VOWS TO PASS COSTS ON TO CONSUMERS
The chief executive officer of Kentucky-based Papa John's is quite upset with the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (AKA Obamacare). Here is what John Schnatter said on a conference call Tuesday:

"We're not supportive of Obamacare, like most businesses in our industry. But our business model and unit economics are about as ideal as you can get for a food company to absorb Obamacare," he said.
"If Obamacare is in fact not repealed, we will find tactics to shallow out any Obamacare costs and core strategies to pass that cost onto consumers in order to protect our shareholders best interests," Schnatter vowed.
