If the concept of maintaining a good public image is not easily understood by city officials, Sandusky will never succeed.

City commissioners aren't supposed to have or promote secret meetings on matters of public interest - especially with local businesses who may be trying to avoid responsibility for environmental messes they might have been involved with creating.  (You know who you are.)

I’ve been invited by city commissioners Dave Waddington and Dan Kaman to be their guest at the next “Coffee with the Commissioners” on June 6. 

The time is 8:30-ish (yet time to be determined) and location is being decided upon.

The summer movie season got off to an out-of-this-world start last week with “Star Trek,” a pulse-pounding film that launched an old franchise into a new generation at warp speed.

A teen girl who sent a nude photograph of herself to her boyfriend using her cell phone was charged with unruliness after her 18-year-old boyfriend forwarded that same photo to his friends after they broke off their romance. With what would you guess police charged the boyfriend?

There seems to be a Chuck-themed blog from both Jasons this week. I'm sure you are all stunned by the coincidence.
