Issue 9, goodbye and good riddance

Last night, after the results came in, it felt like midnight, New Years Eve.
You know that feeling, at the stroke of midnight, everything is going to be better, this really could be the year, the world just looks a little brighter than it did even 10 minutes ago?
That's how I felt.

Cincinnati elected a mayor for progress
elected a council for progress
AND defeated an anti-progress amendment

The CAVE* man on Bill Cunginham said, "if issue 9 fails we have to go home."
So goodbye and good riddance. You wanted people to have the right to vote on progress, and vote they did.

today's the day Nein on 9

The CAVE* men's page for endorsements is embarrassingly blank, it seems the only person supporting a yes on 9 vote is some fossil confused about what a sign is.

Meanwhile ALL these people and organizations have endorsed a No on 9 vote.

I have one more question, if rail has benefited every city on earth, why is Cincinnati the unique place where its not the right time/place?
The anti-progress CAVE* men are running out of arguments and momentum. If you believe in the future of Cincinnati and the streetcar please come out Tuesday and show your support.
