    DECEMBER 15, 2006 PAY BILL UPDATE During the CCAO/CEAO Winter Conference, Republican Legislative Leaders made it clear there was not adequate support for an elected officials pay bill yet this year. CCAO and other local officials associations have been advocating for a pay bill, particularly since county commissioners and auditors elected in November are scheduled to receive an annual adjustment during the first two years of their next term of office, but no adjustment in the last two years. Specifically, Ohio law provides township, county and state officials with raises in 2007 and 2008 that is the lesser of either 3 percent or the consumer price index (CPI). Yet, there is nothing in the law that speaks to a raise in 2009 or 2010. Ohio Constitution prohibits elected officials from receiving a raise legislatively enacted during their current term of office. Efforts are still being made to see if there would be support for “placeholder” language that would enable the off-year commissioner to receive a raise in 2009 and 2010, should the legislature take action in 2007 or 2008. The language provides that all three commissioners in a county shall receive the same wage, to put it simply. It is CCAO’s understanding that this “Plan B” option currently is under consideration in the Senate, but there has not been a commitment to support it yet by Leadership. Commissioners are urged to talk to their State Senator about this “Plan B” approach and we believe the amendment could be offered to the Capital Improvements Bill, H.B. 699 FLURRY OF ACTIVITY AS LEGISLATURE & TAFT ADMINISTRATION PREPARE FOR WRAP- UP Bills are quickly moving through the Legislature in anticipation for the 126th General Assembly to wrap up the week of December 19; though session is scheduled through December 21st, there is a push to wrap up on the 19th if possible.

  • Top Cincinnati Fundraisers and Incumbents Win
    Top Cincinnati fundraisers and incumbents win For immediate release October 23, 2002 Contact Catherine Turcer, (513) 221-2100 CINCINNATI -- The top fundraising candidates for Mayor and Cincinnati City Council won in 2001, according to a report released today by Ohio Citizen Action. The winning candidate for Mayor, incumbent Charlie Luken, raised 3.9 times more than his three challengers. All of the incumbent candidates also won in 2001. The average incumbent raised 3.7 times more than the average non-incumbent. "Contributions don’t necessarily make victory more likely," said Catherine Turcer, campaign reform director for Ohio Citizen Action. "Often, favor-seekers contribute to a candidate precisely because their victory at the polls is already a foregone conclusion. They want to curry favor with someone who can reciprocate after the election." "Cincinnati’s old campaign financing system, however," Turcer said, "is clearly stacked against challengers and less well-funded candidates." Contribution totals were similar during 1997 ($2,322,158), 1999 ($2,421,109) and 2001 ($2,461,993), according to a report released today by Ohio Citizen Action. 1997 contribution limits, however, changed the giving patterns. The 1997 limits restricted labor unions and Political Action Committees (PACs) and individual limits led some to use family members to inflate contributions.

Swartsell, B.A. Report Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of The University of Texas at Austin in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts The University of Texas at Austin May 2013 ii Abstract Turning the City Inside Out Shifting Demographics in American Cities Nikolas R. Swartsell, M.A. The University of Texas at Austin, 2013 Supervisor: William Minutaglio Narratives around many of America's inner-city neighborhoods have changed significantly in the past decade. Once portrayed by the media and pop-culture as blighted, dangerous areas to be avoided, these neighborhoods have become hip epicenters of a new philosophy in urban planning-- "place-making," a concept popularized by economist and urbanist Richard Florida. Place-making claims to be a kinder, friendlier kind of urban renewal emphasizing tolerance and diversity-- but is this the case? Through both physical changes and city-lead branding efforts, place-making seeks to draw young professionals, specifically those in the rising "creative class," to inner city areas in hopes these young workers will in turn draw employers.

  • Public Participation in Urban Development: Case Studies from Cincinnati, Ohio
    Public participation in urban development: Case studies from Cincinnati, Ohio A dissertation submitted to the Graduate School of the University of Cincinnati in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Geography of the College of Arts and Sciences by Susan L. Jakubowski B.A. Washington and Jefferson College M.A. University of Cincinnati 25 March 2014 Committee Chair: Colleen McTague, Ph.D. ii Abstract Public participation, a means by which citizens can influence local government in the decision making process, is commonly employed in American cities. Public participation is conceptualized as a significant element of democracy and as such, it is subject to impact in both practice and theory by changes in political ideology. Using three case studies of public participation in urban development projects in Cincinnati, Ohio, this research explores the way that participation strategies have evolved along with and in response to changes in political ideology. The results of these studies are then evaluated within a historical theoretical framework of public participation and indicate that contemporary strategies may not be adequately accounted for by traditional theorizations of participation. The results further indicate that concepts such as empowerment and the public should be expanded within the participatory framework to include the more recent ways in which they have manifested. iii Table of Contents Chapter 1: Introduction 1 Chapter 2: Unifying Themes 9 Chapter 3: Marching to

  • An Analysis of the Influence of Ohio's Six Major Metropolitan Newspapers on Citizen Perception of Environment
    AN ANALYSIS OF THE CORRESPONDENCE OF ENVIRONMENTAL COVERAGE IN OHIO’S SIX MAJOR METROPOLITAN NEWSPAPERS TO CITIZEN PERCEPTION OF ENVIRONMENTAL PROBLEMS A thesis presented to the faculty of the College of Communication of Ohio University In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree Master of Science John Frederick Mueller March 2006 This thesis entitled AN ANALYSIS OF THE CORRESPONDENCE OF ENVIRONMENTAL COVERAGE IN OHIO’S SIX MAJOR METROPOLITAN NEWSPAPERS TO CITIZEN PERCEPTION OF ENVIRONMENTAL PROBLEMS by JOHN FREDERICK MUELLER has been approved for the E.W. Scripps School of Journalism and the College of Communication by Daniel Riffe Professor of Journalism Gregory J. Shepherd Dean, College of Communication MUELLER, JOHN FREDERICK. M.S. March 2006. Journalism An Analysis of the Correspondence of Environmental Coverage in Ohio’s Six Major Metropolitan Newspapers to Citizen Perception of Environmental Problems (128 pp.) Director of Thesis: Daniel Riffe Grounded in the theory of agenda-setting, this thesis examines how environmental coverage of Ohio’s six major metropolitan newspapers corresponds with Ohio citizens’ perceptions of selected environmental problems. Consequently, this thesis assesses the role that environmental journalism can play in the formation of the public’s perception of environmental problems. Data representing newspaper environmental agendas were collected using NewsBank and LexisNexis electronic search engines. Data representing citizen environmental agendas were drawn from a public opinion survey. Evidence of actual, obtrusive environmental problems within the newspaper readership market areas was obtained from Federal and Ohio Environmental Protection Agency data. This thesis shows little positive correlation between the environmental coverage of Ohio’s six major metropolitan newspapers and Ohio citizens’ perceptions of selected environmental problems.
