Take it with a grain of salt, like everything else we read, but still worth reading. It’s been 11 years since Allegheny County in Pittsburgh switched to a Co. Executive/Council form of government. If nothing else, Jim Nichols’ PD article  interviews a cross section of people who were in the trenches in Pittsburgh when the [...]

Signed into law a few hours ago, there are now more financial incentives to keep up (or start) your home search, if this is a good time for you personally, to buy.  Having good housing inventory to choose from is important too.  To all who may have wanted to put their homes up for sale [...]

My colleagues have been posting about this all week, but I wanted to wait until it seemed like there really was going to be an extension to the FTH Buyers Federal Tax Credit.  Yesterday it passed in the Senate (and not one Senator voted against it, imagine that).

The union contracts for Toledo workers were just renewed in April but today’s Ohio Supreme Court decision puts in question whether or not there will be a grandfathered period of time (length of union contract) when city workers will still have residency requirements. 
The decision is in line with what was decided for Akron earlier this [...]

Howard Kurtz in today’s  Washington Post gives a synopsis and the latest buzz on MSNBC/FOX and/or O’Reilly vs Olbermann.  They both miss the point.  Some of us don’t want to hear either one of them anymore!  I’m a political junkie, always have been. But talking heads can make me crazy.  During the past year I [...]
