Since the Green Party is able to endorse relatively few candidates, maybe people would find other groups’ endorsements a useful approximate proxy? For example, if a candidate is endorsed by CincyPAC, which is at least relatively pro-”green”, or by a group like Equality Cincinnati, maybe that makes you more likely to vote for that candidate (or less likely, if a Green Party endorsement would have made you less likely to vote for that candidate). To that end, I’ve put several of the major groups’ endorsements together in one place, here: http://enjoymentandcontemplation.wordpress.com/2009/10/23/cincinnati-endorsement-compendium/
Seeing it all in one place was useful to me as a voter; maybe it can be useful to others as well.

I don’t know if it’s against the law. It’s certainly fishy. I’d be interested to know what the Cincinnati Greens would have to say about this situation.

What kind of landlord would evict a single mother of three?

Dave, isn’t using government equipment for political activity against the law?

It also appears that the slurs were posted during working hours.

Should we report this to the authorities?

The previous anonymous posts slinging mud at Anitra Brockman came from someone using a Hamilton County government computer. It would seem that the Cincinnati Greens are enough of a threat to the current government’s power that now government insiders are trying to discredit them with personal attacks and anonymous whispering campaigns.

Someone with multiple evictions going back several years is concerning….also maybe the person she is renting from is also suffering a squeeze because her irresponsibility and deception.

Perhaps some of the many working Americans who are being squeezed by the economic crisis would appreciate having someone in government who can relate to their daily struggles.

She is being evicted too (this is not the first time either). Not someone I would want on City Council. Research your endorsements. I agree no corruption, yet, however poor money management http://www.courtclerk.org/

I took a look Anonymous. Ms. Brockman contracted with a singer to perform at a fundraiser. The event did not make much money and she was unable to write the performer a check on the spot. The performer then made a bit of a public stink about not getting paid and she and he apparently negotiated a payment schedule they both could live with.

While not perfect, the performer broke what I think is one of the cardinal rules of performing, which is, get paid up front. They seem to be comfortable with things as they stand now, so while your concern may be well placed, I don’t think it’s a sign of incompetence or corruption.

In short, much ado about relatively little, in my opinion.
