CPS Art Collection Reaction May 19, 2008

So far the calls on the piece about the CPS 6 Million Dollar art collection seem to think the story does not include enough history about how the collection came to pass. Since TV time is limited, I will provide a little background here.
Many people believe the art collection is filled  with pieces purchased by [...]

CPS Art Collection Gets Ugly May 19, 2008

I have been hit hard with complaints about my Target 5 Investigation into the Cincinnati Public Schools Art Collection worth 6 million dollars. Crazy thing is…..the stories haven’t even aired yet. Looks like our friends over in the promotions department grabbed some people’s attention! I will be anxious to see what the reaction is AFTER everyone actually [...]

A "low-life" reporter stands his ground March 18, 2008

Wanted to let you all in on a knock down, drag out fight with a PR flack (no pun intended) from University Hospital. Listen to what happened and you be the judge.A 19 year old patient claimed she was raped in a hospital elevator. Don Crause, director of marketing, inferred to me by phone that [...]

White-Out March 11, 2008

What a snow storm! Every once in a while I get to be a part of reporting something that makes me remember why I’m in this business in the first place, and this was one of those times. Doing live shots for the Today Show and MSNBC, the anchors often asked me “who did [...]

Clinton’s Last Stand February 27, 2008

Well….it’s over. At least it is in my eyes. And it all ended with a failed attempt at humor. When Hillary Clinton whined about how she gets all the tough questions in last night’s debate in Cleveland, using Saturday Night Live as her source no less, the door slammed on her chances at the nomination. [...]

Clinton on the Ropes February 26, 2008

I’m on my way up to Cleveland for the big debate between Clinton and Obama. Could be Mrs. Clinton’s last stand. I hate to say this as I have a lot of respect for Sen. Clinton, but it seems as though she is really grasping at straws as this campaign gets away from her. I [...]

Support Walnut Hills Sports! February 14, 2008

Been gone for a while for the birth of my second child, Rosalee, but more on that later! I wanted to mention a worth while cause I came across while reporting a story on CPS money problems and the potential cutbacks that could come with them.Walnut Hills High School is holding a “Support Our Sports [...]

Racism Alive and Well on MLK Day January 22, 2008

Some yahoo decided to use MLK day to post some racist fliers out in West Covington….on Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd, no less! I am so torn about reporting stories like this. On one hand I never want to give these groups the publicity and attention they thrive off of. On the other hand as [...]

A Cold Decision January 17, 2008

Duke Energy might want to honor the spirit, and not just the word of law. After a landlord stopped paying utility bills, Duke shut off the heat to an apartment building in Cincinnati, one that houses four families with 14 children. State rules prohibit shutting off the heat to a home in the dead of [...]

Police won’t replace Sheriffs in OTR January 5, 2008

Much to the dismay of a number of people who live and work in Over the Rhine, the Police department has decided not to add extra officers to the area now that Sheriffs are pulling out for budget reasons.This is a tough call for the PD. Crime has gone down big time since Sheriffs started [...]
