Issue 9: Why This Matter Is So Important To Cincinnati

If there was an award for consistently shooting one's self in the foot, Cincinnati would be the hands-down winner.

We're a town of big ideas and no follow through.

See also:

• The subway tunnels to nowhere.
• The Broadway Commons baseball stadium concept that would have revitalized a depressed neighborhood.
• Thankfully, after years of political squabbling, The Banks is becoming a reality.

I've got a post of my own coming up on why Cincinnati voters should say No on Issue 9. Until that's published, please check out Julie's thoughts on the matter.

As I said in my comment on Julie's post, Issue 9 will have a significant result on whether Cincinnati holds on to its best, young talent. Issue 9 will also directly result our ability to stay connected to other cities embracing the high speed/light rail concept.

If we pass Issue 9 - Cincinnati will become a dying island.
