If not for himself and other county politicians, Mr. Bedinghaus said, the city would have watched idly as the Bengals left town. We'll present a very strong message that we are on the right path on the riverfront. And it's an outright fabrication meant to inflame people. The city doesn't legislate in the area of abortions. The commissioner defended the letter, saying abortion will define the two candidates for many voters.
Abortion is always one of the most hotly contested issues in any political race.
I'm not surprised he wants to deflect that. Mr. Bedinghaus said too much has been made of the cost overruns at Paul Brown Stadium. The most important thing is that they did it right. I approach politics from the position that I'm not afraid to lose an election. That gives me the freedom to stick with a project from beginning to end.
