The City Is Gonna Do WHAT Again?

Cincinnati's (interim) city manager has proposed a $500,000 tax incentive package to U.S. Bank to create 125 new jobs.  To maintain this pattern of paying handouts to people for something they should be doing anyway, experts predict the city will soon start giving city payroll tax breaks to employees who show up to work.

Norwood Buys Ambulance Off eBay

On the heels of last week's sweet walkie talkie find on eBay, Norwood again seeks to fill a public safety need by bidding on a used ambulance on the popular auction site.

Said Norwood mayor Tom Williams, "I don't understand. We keep bulldozing houses, but we still need all this safety equipment. Well, we were so pleased with the police radios, we're going for this ambulance on the interweb. If this goes well, expect a lot more eBay merchandies around the city!"
