City leadership

I moved to the city of Cincinnati in the fall of 1981. At that time, here were the names of some of the prominent city politicians.

Cissell, Chabot, Bortz, Straus, Sterne, Yates, Mirlisena, Luken, Vehr, Blackwell, Mann, Springer etc.

Compare that to the names of ten years ago.

Tillery, Luken, Qualls, Sterne, Yates, Heimlich, Portune etc.

And now the names today.

Mallory, Cole, Smitherman, Thomas, Crowley, Berding, Reece, etc.

First, you'll notice that the number of Republicans are declining as the list progresses. Second, you'll also notice the Democrats that appear on the earlier list tended to be true statesmen (women), competent leaders, and problem solvers.

Given the murder record and the population flight out of the city, it begs the question I continue to ask.

Are the totally incompetent leaders in the city a product of the morons who remain in the city or are the totally incompetent leaders driving out everyone but the morons in the city?

What's that sound again? another five people just moved to the suburbs.
