  • Bearman Cartoon: Part Timers

    The latest editorial cartoon was inspired by the budget issues in my home city of Cincinnati, Ohio. It seems like many cities, the economy is affecting city services. So now there is talk of having to lay off over 100 police officers.

    Funny we have a part time city council and yet they continue to take over $60,000 a year in salary. I am sure there would be plenty of people willing to work full time for that kind of pay.

  • Editorial Cartoon: BERDINinG the Tax System

    Just another “only in Cincinnati” event. Cincinnati City Councilman Jeff Berding is looking at all angles to attack aggressive panhandling in the city (which I applaud).  However his latest proposed tactic (read about it here and here) would actually charge a commercial tax to the homeless who panhandle.

    Then again, isn’t the government already an aggressive pandhandler???

  • Bearman Cartoon: Finding the Perfect Job

    It’s that time of year that people in Cincinnati start throwing their hat in the ring to run for city council, so I thought given the tough economic times out there this editorial cartoon was fitting.
