Let your voice be heard! Full Body of Cincinnati City Council meets EVERY Wednesday. To speak before Council you MUST sign a speakers card BEFORE 1:30pm and The Full Session of Council begins at 2:00pm. I've attended Council meetings and committees since these new changes have been in effect and I can vouch for the fact that Mayor Mark Mallory is running a "tight ship" down there when it pertains to "Time". When it's time to start EVERYBODY (Council members included) better be in their seats and ready to go. Makes me glad I gave Mayor Mallory "The Black Fist Endorsement". So far he is showing by my estimations to be a man that means "Business"! (General Nikki X felt this information is needed so that everyone who reads "The Black Fist Blog" is kept well in the know. General Nikki X is Head of Security & Head of Telecommunications since 2000 for "The Black Fist". Don't believe any other rhetoric/bullshit/hype!...Ok. General Nikki X Thanks everyone for their continued support of the work she's doing the best she can do in "The Black Fist". In this organization I MUST "speak out in truth" and That is what I will "CONTINUE" to do!)
