WVXU Political Analyst Claims Gerrymandering Makes Steve Chabot 'Unbeatable'

In an article titled House races could get interesting again, Howard Wilkinson discusses recent Republican gerrymandering of House districts.

"An analysis of the 435 House districts show that only about 12 percent of them are truly competitive races."
"They took the whole of Warren County – where John McCain beat Barack Obama four years ago by more than two-to-one – and gave it to Chabot, making him, practically speaking, unbeatable, at least until the next time the lines are re-drawn."

From Fox WXIX:

The Mayor of Cincinnati stated, "This is nothing but a political stunt." "People are tired of the same old ‘we can't' attitude. That is not how we operate in Cincinnati anymore. We work on big projects and we get them done." "Representative Chabot says that we should be investing in the Brent Spence Bridge and a new interchange on I-71 at MLK. I couldn't agree more. So, where is Steve Chabot's leadership on getting that funding for our community? It isn't there".

Steve Chabot (R) Westwood Continues Campaign Against Cincinnati

Steve Chabot entered an amendment to a US Transportation bill blocking funding specifically for Cincinnati light rail. In not pursuing light rail in general he shows his petty political vindictiveness and in citing that monies need to be spent on long term job growth he shows his ignorance or is just plain lying. The transportation bill as it stands will likely only promote short term boondoggle road building whereas Cincinnati's streetcar is aimed at long term job growth and curbing blight. Chabot seeks endless sprawl. Steve CHabot DOES support the $2M/foot Ohio River bridge. Chabot'ss Blog
