After last nights windbag diatribe on elections in this country, the winners have been announced and I think everything will be okay. Unfortunately, Ohioans voted to legalize casino gambling - however the way the amendment is written only two companies may build them. We also kept Mayor Mallory around for a few more years, however his victory was by a much smaller than expected margin. Cincinnati residents also defeated issue 9, so now the real battle about the streetcars can begin. Some people expected the streetcars to begin construction soon, but there are still millions in federal money that must be sourced before anything can begin...and there's always a chance of COAST trying to put the issue on the ballot again.
I must say that while I'm a bit disappointed about how some of this all happened, I'm not really surprised by anything.
