Mayor Tim Humphries Attorney contend "politically based scheme"

The past few months have been a roller coaster of events for Mayor Tim Humphries.  The ups and downs of his role as Mayor of Carlisle have been a whirl wind to follow.  In spite of heading and helping with some interesting projects around town starting with the Indian Path.  The Indian Path if you have drove by the schools and the City Building is the path students can take safely to get to the stores across 123.  The path is marked by signs and during warmer weather the Mayor was helping along with other residents and business leaders of Carlisle as traffic monitors to keep our students safe.  Other items that have been brought to our attention that the Mayor has been working on is getting a drop box oustide of the City Building so residents do not have to get out of their car to drop off bills, paperwork, etc.  These are a few of the positives that our Mayor has been working on with others to improve different things in the City of Carlisle.

On the flip side, the downs of the past few months on the roller coaster have included a computer being confiscated and what some media outlets are calling a road rage incident that brought Mayor Tim Humphries up on many charges last week.  There has been no official word on the computer and what the FBI has found or not found on the office computer of our Mayor. But now, with the new charges against Tim Humphries, Attorney, Jon Rion, is representing him and thinking things are "very unusual" with all the charges.

Humphries agreed to a 5:30 p.m. Jan. 12 preliminary hearing and pretrial conference with Judge Rupert Ruppert in Franklin Municipal Court.  So things are not finished by any means stay tuned....

MVRPC Public Meeting - Long Range Transportation Plan Public Meeting Tomorrow....

The Miami Valley Regional Planning Commission (MVRPC) will hold a Public Participation Meeting regarding the proposed amendment to the Region’s Long Range Transportation Plan (LRTP) in anticipation of receiving passenger rail funding (3C + D Corridor)

The meeting will be held as follows:

Wednesday, December 16, 2009

Miami Valley Regional Planning Commission

One S. Main Street

Suite 260

Downtown Dayton, OH

4:00 pm – 6:00 pm

The Ohio Rail Development Commission (ORDC) and the Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT), in consultation with statewide transportation stakeholders have, for a number of years, been working on a master plan to implement passenger rail service in Ohio.  This Ohio Hub Plan identifies a series of prospective transportation corridors for providing passenger rail service throughout Ohio. 
The project planning process towards reintroducing passenger rail service in the 3C + D corridor (Cleveland, Columbus, Cincinnati + Dayton) has progressed to where it is time to coordinate amending the project into Ohio’s MPO Long Range Transportation Plans located within the 3C + D corridor service area (including MVRPC).  The Plan amendment effort includes a financial strategy and a new transportation conformity determination (air quality analysis).
Ohio’s "Quick Start" Passenger Rail Plan, known as the 3C + D Corridor, will connect Cleveland, Columbus, Cincinnati and Dayton with modern, conventional speed (up to 79 MPH) passenger trains, in the state’s most densely-populated travel corridor, which last had passenger rail service in 1971.  It also is part of the corridor for future high speed rail (up to 110 MPH) under development by Ohio and its neighboring states.  With funding from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA), Ohio’s 3C + D "Quick Start" plan would have initial conventional-speed service running by 2011, putting another travel choice in reach of more than 60% of Ohio’s population and is expected to carry 478,000 riders in the first year.
If you are unable to attend, information is also available for public review on MVRPC’s web site at www.mvrpc.org . 
The public can also review the information at the MVRPC offices, One Dayton Center, One S. Main Street, Suite 260, Dayton, OH, 45402, during regular business hours (8:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday).
