• S High St Corridor
    Case # Z19-045 3051 S High St, Columbus OH 43207 - Parcel #s 010-112512 and 010-114024 Herman and Kittle Properties of Indianapolis IN has recently applied to Rezone the property located at 3051 S High St to develop AFFORDABLE (Government subsidized, income-based) apartments. The addition of 272 units including 1,2 and 3 bedrooms apartments. We the residents oppose this zoning for the following reasons: • Law Enforcement – The 13th precinct is the largest precinct. Residents currently wait hours for a response by an officer or ambulance. The addition of approximately 720 individuals will further tax the response time. • Limited Mass Transportation – There are only two routes along S High St. COTA isn’t interested in adding more. This limits transportation to these and all residents and encumbers opportunities for betterment. • There are currently 6 income-based apartment complexes on or near the S High St corridor. In fact, there are no apartments available in the Scioto Southland Area that are not income-based. • Employment opportunities – The City of Columbus is marketing the S High St Corridor as a logistical /distribution hub per the Department of Development. These jobs do not traditionally support homeownership or a vibrant Far Southside. • Traffic – The traffic flow along S High St from route 104 to City Corp is currently overwhelmed with traffic backups. Straining emergency vehicles. There are no traffic-related commitments stated in the application. • The City of Columbus Department of Development is not requiring outdoor lighting, buffering landscaping, open space or any other screening commitment. There are no exterior design commitments. Stop this legislation from moving forward.

  • Hane's Farm Sand Mine
    The proposed mine will be located in the heart of Brices Creek. This residential area consists of numerous subdivisions that are home to thousands of people. The environmental and economic impact will be felt by every resident and every homeowner. The quality of life that we have all enjoyed for so many years will be diminished and replaced with heavy equipment, noise pollution, construction traffic, and unknown environmental issues yet to be determined.

  • We won’t let law-breaking politicians dominate our elections
    If we don’t act now, our elections will be at risk -- as candidates, parties, and other political players exploit campaign finance laws, knowing that there will likely be no consequences for doing so. That’s because the Vice Chairman of the Federal Election Commission (FEC) is resigning this month, leaving only three commissioners on duty. And by law, the FEC needs at least four commissioners to hold meetings, litigate, or take other official regulatory action. So as we approach 2020 -- and one of the most consequential elections in our lifetime -- the commission in charge of making sure our elections are fair and candidates play by the rules will be virtually incapacitated. The President must immediately appoint (and the Senate must approve) new FEC commissioners who’ll FULLY uphold our campaign finance laws -- not appointees who will turn a blind eye to big money in politics. AND, the Senate should pass and President Trump should sign the For the People Act (S. 949), which would change the rules and let the FEC function with just a majority of sitting commissioners -- so this never happens again.

  • Turn the Bass Up! Not Down
    I run local competitions and have gotten lucky over the past year but I see so many other leagues get shut down over complaints that are just absurd ! Your neighbors lawnmower is louder at the distance you hear us ! We have our shows in the middle of the day which doesn’t go against any sound ordinance other than not listening to the police officers warning statement to “just turn it down “ that’s not what we do ! Hundreds of people spend thousands and invest so much time into these events just to get turned away from one angry neighbor that should mind their own business ! :-)

  • Universal Health Care
    When I left my teaching job to become an educational consultant I was hit by the realization that I would no longer have an employer pay 75% of the health insurance costs for my family. Searching for a an affordable family plan and finding that "affordable" did not exist made this issue hit home. Millions of families are in a similar or much worse situation. They do not qualify for Meidcare or other state-supported assistance, but the cost of health insurance out of pocket is absolutely unaffordable. This is a right, not a privilege, and it is time for our government to help ALL Americans have this right unencumbered.

  • Revoke Central Maine Power's License To Operate A Utility
    Central Maine power has been overcharging customers since 2011, is unethical in their business practices, has lied (and continues to do so) to their customers and the MPUC (this is how they managed to push through the Certificate of Public need for the NECEC). Mainer’s want a Maine based Consumer owned utility with reasonable rates, SAFE & RELIABLE power, MAINE based customer service centers, NO corporate greed . Maine people should be able to live their lives “the way life should be” instead of working just to pay a utility bill. CMP has higher rates than NY without N.Y. Incomes. We want and NEED a PUBLIC owned utility company. Why should we be Consumer owned? 1) WE OWN the lines, assets, and the Maine grid - 2) It’s a NON-PROFIT Company (no more lining the greedy pockets of foreign shareholders) - 3) All profits are required to go back into the company for maintenance and upgrades to our grid, including vegetation management. - 4) Run by our MAINE citizens - 5) we will have REAL transparency - 6) MAINE citizens WILL have a say in the decision making - 7) All of our PERSONAL INFORMATION will be BACK in Maine not in SPAIN. *** Maine Consumer UTILITY NOT COMPANY***
