Channel 9 also did an article on the fine details of this situation listed below.
______________________________________________ Posted: 06/06/2011 • By: Tom McKee CINCINNATI – The Cincinnati Metropolitan Housing Authority (CMHA) will know by the end of the week how much it will expand its public housing in Hamilton County to settle a discrimination finding with the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).
A Voluntary Compliance Agreement (VCA) is expected to be signed between CHMA and HUD that will stipulate where some of the housing will be located.
HUD found that CMHA failed to put public housing units that it owns in numerous Hamilton County communities, including Green Township, where the agency’s former board chairman lives.
Green Township currently has 27 CHMA-owned units within its borders, but may be required to add more as a provision of the settlement.
Also this week, Hamilton County Commissioners are expected to approve a Cooperation Agreement with CMHA that will add 375 public housing units to the 482 already in suburban communities. Scheduled meetings include…
MONDAY – June 6 –11 a.m. – Hamilton County Commissioners staff meeting – Cooperation agreement to be discussed –11 a.m. – Cincinnati Metropolitan Housing Authority special board meeting – Executive session to discuss voluntary compliance agreement WEDNESDAY – June 8 –11 a.m. – Hamilton County Commissioners regular meeting – Cooperation agreement approval expected THURSDAY – June 9 –9 a.m. – Cincinnati Metropolitan Housing Authority regular board meeting – Approval expected on voluntary compliance agreement
The cooperation agreement does not affect the City of Cincinnati, which has 5,269 public housing units.
On nice days like what today is shaping up to be, Kings Island comes to my mind. In fact, aside from going to the book store and getting a new book, riding roller coasters at Kings Island after a hard day of working is the best way to unwind.
And today, March 17, 2011 Kings Island announced with some very cleaver marketing that I admire greatly, that they are putting in a Dinosaur Walk which excites me greatly.
One of my many nicknames given to me by friends and enemies alike is the Hoffmanator. Of course the overmanwarrior, or just warrior for short. But my favorite is T-Rex, because I love dinosaurs and among them my favorite is Tyrannosaurus Rex. The reason for that is because my behavior sometimes brings that creature to mind, because I have such a volatile temper.
So it is with that in mind that I experienced great excitement upon seeing this video.
I don’t care if it is fake. I don’t care if it’s intended for kids. I love, and I mean love the sight of a dinosaur!
So what’s this all about? Well, here Don Helbick public relations director of Kings Island to explain it.
Doesn’t say much, and this teaser says even less.
But that’s part of the fun in what proves to be another fun and exciting attraction. I’m sure it will prove to be one of my favorite hang outs at Kings Island.
Here’s some more footage of more changes at Kings Island. A lot of this we take for granted during the summer when the heat of the day pushes memories of winter deep in our minds.
On Friday, the day the sex scandal broke out in Mason, my wife and I were meeting a couple from England for dinner. Now this is a couple that has been to our house many times and spent a lot of time in the United States. We’ve taken them to most of the restaurants in town at some point in time. Well, this particular Friday night was a special night for the wife and there was only one place she wanted to dine out of all the options available and that was Chick-fil-A.
I have been a fan of Chick-fil-A all my life. As a kid, my mom used to take my brother and me there in between video games at the arcade. The Middletown Mall had a Chick-fil-A inside the mall right next to the arcade and was a source of many, many childhood memories. I have watched Chick-fil-A become one of the most respected franchises in the United States, and that respect starts with the philosophy established by Truett Cathy, one of the few people in this whole world currently living that I truly admire. I admire Cathy because in a world that bends to the will of “pop” culture and all the ridiculous “progressive” arguments of the modern age, he has always run Chick-fil-A with integrity. That is why it is not a mystery that whenever you go to a mall food court, Chick-fil-A is almost always the busiest vender. When you visit a standing facility, the restaurant is constantly busy. And they manage all this business without ever working Sunday.
In a world driven by the market forces of McDonalds that has expanded food service to 24 hours a day 7 days a week, Chick-fil-A has always stayed to their philosophy and centered their food service experience around quality. That is why Chick-fil-A is one of the greatest American companies, and an example of what the United States should be aspiring to.
It’s not an accident, but a family formula that rests on the foundations of faith and firm belief in the power of a family that makes the company so successful.
Chick-fil-A has built one of the most successful companies in America keeping it clean when the trends have been to become steamier and flashier. Chick-fil-A does everything with class, and they are very active in mentoring programs sponsoring leadership.
Here is another of my favorite people, Tony Dungy. Anything he is involved in is successful and he has a great relationship with Chick-fil-A.
So what on earth could possibly be wrong with Chick-fil-A? It is in all respects of the word, successful.
I overheard my daughter’s boyfriend talking about chicken in our kitchen and Chick-fil-A came up. “They’re against gays” he said, as if somehow that term defined the company as a whole. That perked my interest. Chick-fil-A is such a clean company that they don’t have public relations issues. So why would the kid say what he did? He’s a twenty year old, so I thought about the sources he gets his information from, music, TV, certain internet sites that are appealing to young people, so I checked into the allegation and sure enough I found it.
Gay’s were boycotting Chick-fil-A because the company donated food to an organization that supports strong traditional family values, and by a strong family, it means between a man and a woman. But Chick-fil-A wasn’t trying to make a political statement, they were just trying to do something nice, yet, as is the progressive strategy which my daughter’s boyfriend reflected with youthful naivety, the goal is to tear down every organization so nobody wants to do anything nice for anybody in an effort at some utopian equality.
So who are these accusers of impropriety and what kind of people are they? Well, let’s meet a couple of them so we can see who these people are that are trying to shape public policy with their complaints.
What the hell was that? Who are these people?
Listen, I don’t care what people do to achieve a sexual organism. Girl-guy, girl-girl, a knot-hole in the fence, it doesn’t matter, because such things only consist of less than 5% of the human experience. People that think marriage and sex is somehow the same thing are out of their minds. It’s no wonder the divorce rate is so high in this country because people have forgotten what it’s all about. Same sex marriage is a non-issue. It’s a progressive strategy to undermine American Culture and rebuild it with something……………..progressive. Don’t believe me, go read Colonel Roosevelt. It’s out at book stores right now and is a great book. It’s all about the rise of the progressive experiment, which 100 years later is a dismal failure. An absolute, unmitigated failure, how do I know that? Look at the idiot in the gay video above! Is that what we are offering the future of this nation? Is that who we hand the reigns of this nation to? That dude just wants to suck a sausage. He’s not going to be reading the Federalist Papers any time soon.
Progressivism has produced people like this in the video below.
Dude, everybody does have a right. You have a right to eat there or not. But you don’t have a right to disrupt their business practice. If you want to boycott them, go ahead. Because you people are in the minority. That’s why Chick-fil-A is a tremendous success, straight up buddy, the law does not support such foolish claims. Progressives through these types of minorities that make so much noise seek to manipulate legislation to recreate law in their vision, and shackle the hands of good companies all across this country. Because of people like these last two jokers, American civilization has suffered greatly with this over sensitivity while our competitors continue to cut off the heads of political dissidents, cut off the noses of women who don’t completely cover their faces and thousands of unreported incidents every single day. What do you think they do with gays in places like Nigeria, and Iran?
Have a look!
Now compare that to this kid, a young, naive fellow warped with progressive ideas.
He has no idea what he’s saying. No perspective to what’s going on outside his little community. He believes it’s OK to criticize Chick-fil-A for supporting an organization the company personally wanted to support. These gay activist desires to control the behavior of the company, and that’s why the activists are hypocrites, and completely wrong. If they truly believed in rights for all, they’d support Chick-fil-A’s right to support traditional marriage while the rest of us are expected to support marriages centered around anal, and oral sex.
Chick-fil-A is one of the greatest examples of righteousness and equal rights anywhere on this planet. My friends from England knew that, which is why out of every dinning option available to us, they wanted to go to Chick-fil-A, because the food looks like what’s on the menu board, the employees are nice to the customers, the stores are always clean, and even though the company could make millions and millions and millions of dollars more if they were open on Sunday, the company closes to give that day to their employees families. All that care comes out in the final product and it makes the consumer feel good to spend their hard-earned money on a company that is truly good at what it does and is a reflection of what we all wish we could have as part of the American experience everywhere else.
