CINCINNATI: Local NAACP leaders have no desire to see streetcars in Cincinnati.
Cincinnati chapter president Christopher Smitherman says the city project shouldn't take priority over repairing streets and helping neighborhood business districts. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People has begun a petition drive to change the city's charter to block the streetcar project.
City officials are still trying to raise enough funds for a $100 million first phase of the project.
The NAACP also joined other groups last year to defeat a proposed county jail tax, and earlier this year to successfully oppose a plan to use red-light cameras at Cincinnati intersections.

Read the whole article. It is simple.
"Cincinnati chapter president Christopher Smitherman says the city project shouldn't take priority over repairing streets and helping neighborhood business districts."
Just like around here, the priorities from politician to politician are different. Some politicians run around on their wives and are untreated alcoholics, and others do their jobs without drama.
