Moving On

With her win in Ohio's 15th congressional district, Democrat Mary Jo Kilroy is getting ready to set up her office and staff as the news member of the U.S. House of Representatives.

Dayton Daily News: Democrat Mary Jo Kilroy will have about one month less than the rest of her congressional colleagues to hire a staff, find housing and prepare for the 111th Congress.

And she's perfectly fine with that.....

...With the win, Ohio Democrats will hold 10 congressional seats to eight for Republicans, the first Democratic majority since 1994....

Kilroy will have a lot before her but she will have plenty of help and support from other Democrats and her constituents. Kilroy knows that she represents the people of her district, not the banks, insurance companies, or oil conglomerates. We wish her the best in her new job representing those of us in the 15th.

Whatever Happened To finds that a Cuyahoga Valley winery is prospering; that Tom Noe, the disgraced Republican fund-raiser, is back in Ohio serving time in a state cell; and that the Brookpark Road RTA station will be rebuilt in 2010.....
