OFCC Sues City of Cleveland Heights, Ohio The sign you see here is posted in Cleveland Heights Parks implying possession of a firearm is a crime. On Friday August 12th, 2011 Ohioans For Concealed Carry Filed a lawsuit against the City the City of Cleveland Heights. The litigation comes after many attempts to resolve concerns over laws that Cleveland Heights not only allowed to remain on their books, but also posted signs at their parks that continue to imply it is illegal to be armed. The City of Cleveland Heights has chosen to ignore our attempts at civil discourse. When individuals have contacted them representing themselves as residents of the City of Cleveland Heights their concerns apparently fell on deaf ears. When representatives of the organization have formally contacted the city's legal representation they've been laughed at and hung up on by the Law Director. It is this arrogance and refusal to work with Ohioans For Concealed Carry that has forced us to seek a remedy through the courts.

Ending months of what has become somewhat regular suspicion that Jerry Springer might run for Governor, the former Cincinnati mayor and liberal radio talk-show host stated that he will not run for Governor in 2006.

From an Associated Press article on newsnet5.com:
With Columbus Mayor Michael Coleman dropping out, and U.S. Rep. Ted Strickland emerging as the front-runner, "what purpose does my running now serve?" Springer said in a statement released by his Ohio spokesman, Dale Butland.

"We have a candidate and a wonderful opportunity for party unity. Let's not blow it. Accordingly, I believe it would be irresponsible, divisive, and a betrayal of principle for me to jump into the race at this late stage," Springer said.
Strickland might not have the nation wide name recognition of Jerry Springer, but he also doesn't have the history of hosting a raunchy television show rife with "prostitutes, unfaithful lovers and brawling friends" either.

Like it or not, that show will haunt any political campaign Springer decides to pursue.
