7:24am - Couple things to show ya.
Finally a crop circle that makes sense!
And a link from The Dispatch:
Article - OSU president needs primer to prepare for quirky Columbus
Very nice New Rome slam. Take a look!
1:34pm - It's been a few days since the last update because not much is going on. I'm excited about the march! The day is coming up fast.
I did find a editorial in The Dispatch about New Rome.
Editorial - WELCOME TO NEW ROME: It's a place where unelected officials hold secret meetings to vote for more cops
Very good! Though, what's this about 6 cops? Is this cops that actually get paid? They may just have 6 paid cops, but I have seen more than 6 during the meetings.
You are going to see more updates coming from our friend Michael (michael@newromesucks.com) as I relax and prepare for the march. I will still check mail and respond so I will still be here.
9:43pm - New Rome is in the news again. Imagine that!
Article - New Rome wants more police officers
Steve! Get with the program! I broke this news the night it happened!
I heard they were talking about New Rome on Corby today. I missed that. Dang. Ahh well, guess I can't get it all.
10:33pm - We have march banner!
The Official New Rome Homepage
The above is a joke. Read what comes up when you click on it. It's not an error as it appears to be
In stores NOW! The National Examiner featuring New Rome! Pick up your copy today! It is on page 5/6 I think. Pictures by yours truly!
I will get scans up soon.
7:20pm - Nice little vacation! I come to find all these stores of New Rome! What a great thing to come home to.
I was told by Michael (michael@newromesucks.com) that NBC had a story about New Rome and they showed pics of my site. Anyone record this? I would LOVE to get a copy!
I FINALLY got my copy of the National Examiner with New Rome in it! Doesn't mention me or the site, but they used my photos! It's great! 1.5 pages. The date is July 16th! Watch for it in stores.
Article - New Rome pushing the limit
What a charming article! In case you missed the airing.

9:34pm - I just got back from the monthly meeting. It was interesting. For the first time I spoke when Jamie was talking about ODOTs ruling that their speed limit is illegal. You can see it tonight on WBNS 10 TV. I was interviewed during the executive meeting. I left after since I got to say my part.
They also are going to hire 10 more auxiliary police so they can run 24x7. 24 police for 60 people. Wow. They must be going for some sort of record. And get their justification! People have been getting their cars broken into. How's that for a riot! What about them being so SAFE?! What a joke.

Brian Wolk was in the news again. It mentions him trying to help the victims and getting beat down and then mention New Rome. Funny how they come up when talking about traffic traps.

7:47am - Articles
Couple articles to share.
Article - NEW ROME VILLAGE COUNCIL MEMBERS SKIP SPEED-LIMIT MEETING
I bet Jamie looks forward to the day that he gets out of being their
Mayor. It's like making Bush President in Iraq.
8:20am - No Meeting
Well if you haven't heard by now there was no meeting last night. The Council refused to show up. Imagine that.
I do have a couple things to share.
Article - New Rome speed limit illegal?
This is what the whole meeting was suppose to be about. ODOT has said that New Rome 35 MPH speed limit is illegal. What I don't understand is how they can't make them change it! What a crock.
Great article
by WIlliam Grim. Talks about New Rorulme, Brian Wolk, and the whole
traffic and justice system breakdown. Very good reading! Thanks
William!
