Vote November 5th

No matter who or what you are voting for this election, don't forget to go vote tomorrow!

Minerva Park residents vote at the Minerva Park Community Building.

Ohio Revised Code requires that no loitering or campaigning be performed within 100 feet of a polling place, or if the queue for said polling place extends past 100 feet, campaigning may not be done within 10 feet of the line.

See: http://codes.ohio.gov/orc/3501.30

The 100 feet is to be marked by small flags of the United States.

In the case of the MP Community Building, 100 feet is about the distance between the entrance of the building and the opposite side of the street on Minerva Lake Road.

Comment Reminders

With the campaign getting closer, comments are a flurry on the blog.

I'd like to point out some things:
1. This blog is obviously NOT a public news source. I am under no obligation to the public in the information that I write about. If you want straight unbiased facts, you're going to have to get them from experience. Though I'm starting to question even that.

While in the past I tried hard to keep this blog to straight facts only and no opinion, it wasn't getting far and it is very hard to keep your opinions to yourself on these issues; as is evident in the comments left.

2. Please review the comment policies, located on a separate tab at the top of the screen, here: http://walkinginminervapark.blogspot.com/p/comment-policies.html

I do my best to respond to the requests to remove individual comments.

To the individual that thinks my comment removal is biased, I want to remind you that the comments about "the other side" have not been requested to be removed. Though....sometime last year I received a certified letter from a Minerva Park police officer ordering that I remove comments someone had written about him on this blog. He threatened legal action if I didn't remove them. That's a little much, eh? All one needs to do to have comments removed is ask. You can even do it anonymously! Though it doesn't make a lot of sense to ask that every single comment be removed, because what's the fun in that? What would we be without the ability to voice our opinions? Not American.
