LOWER PRICE HILL - Following the successful results from buying a troublesome house in Price Hill, city officials announced that they will move the plan forward by buying all the houses in Price Hill.

"This is a great crime-fighting initiative," said Mayor Mallory. "By razing everything in Price Hill, the crime rate is sure to drop."

"Next, we'll expand the program by buying everything around Washington Park, including the school, but we'll do it through a quasi-private entity so as not to arouse any conflict of interest. I love this plan!"

Quick Poll

A weighted voting system, Proportional Representation (PR), may be on the ballot. How do YOU feel?

	This poll is invalid since I can't rank my choices.
	Leslie Ghiz is my #1, but I can't decide who to rank #2, Pat Fischer or John Eby.
	I can understand why the NAACP supports PR, since Charlie Winburn would likely replace Laketa Cole on council in 2009.
	I prefer the current model of electing the same 9 people every two years.
	I'm torn about PR. I would love to rank Sam Malone in dead last on a PR ballot, but I don't know if I could stomach voting for him.
	Does this mean Justin Jeffre and Michael Earl Patton will stop running for Council after they discover they still can't win under PR? Then I'm all for it.
	This system will only encourage more crazy people to run for City Council... and so I support it.
	Call me old-fashioned, but I would prefer it if the candidates with the most votes win.
