If I had a vote in Columbus politics I would vote for Mayor Mike Coleman and the incumbent members of City Council. Yes, this may be a shock to some of my Republican friends, but those who know me know that I’ve been pretty disenchanted with the R’s the last couple of years.

So why this post, given that I don’t live in Columbus? Well, the Mayor and four members of City Council (Michael Mental, Hearcel Craig, Andy Ginther, and Charleta Tavares) took the time to meet with Columbus area bloggers and answer our questions. I tell you, being an average citizen with no access to politicians, the idea that they would meet with us just impressed me. But what really impressed me was their ideas and passion for Columbus.

I am a bit tired right now to really go into detail, but I’d like to give a shout out to Jerid at Buckeye State Blog for organizing the event and the guys at tryFresh for hosting the event at their cool space at 11 W. Price Ave. in the Short North. Video and audio was taken at the event. So I’ll post a link when it comes available.

Welcome to the270. If this is your first time here and think, "what a douchebag", well that's my intent. To spur conversation. To drive my agenda to make Columbus a better place. If you are the subject of my douchebaggery, please do not take offense. I mean no harm. Leave a comment. And we'll discuss.
