The Crazies

Leslie Ghiz Jumps the Shark

Following a special City Council meeting, Councilwoman Ghiz phoned in to WLW and chided the "crazies" at the meeting.
Prosperity theology preaching, exorcist Charlie Winburn added channeling John Cranley to his repertoire as he peppered the city manager with dozens of trivial questions.
Councilman Wayne Lippert couldn't tell the difference between a surface rail system that travels through the city and an elevated rail system that travels around the city.
An obese man who clearly eats more than he needs lectured the mayor on needs.
Tom Luken wandered around spouting gibberish till security finally removed him. Luken, a mass transit opponent unwittingly wore a pro-streetcar button till his handlers noticed and removed it.

An ACLU guy made threatening gestures at a concerned OTR resident.
Chris Smitherman was picking fights, yelling at people & accusing people of being misconceived. He had to be restrained by security as well.

But are these the crazies of which Ghiz spoke? nope. She agrees with Smitherman. She pointed out that while she is angry now she has not been in the past. Maybe bitchy, whiney & catty…..
No, she cited residents, businessmen, investors, other educated professionals who support the streetcar investment for being "The Crazies". How much is the word of a woman who cites Karl Rove as a hero worth? Indeed, between Ghiz & Cunningham anything goes. Cunningham decried the streetcar loop length for being both long and short in the matter of minutes.
