I think two were actual votes and one was a bill to state legislature allowing Cincy to annex the entire county. Norwood had some things that discouraged support for annexation including their own water and sewer systems and the presence of big manufacturing with access to rail lines. <br /><br />I agree, there is no point for Norwood or St. Bernard to exist but it won't happen until pols here see the logic of regional gov.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02755765800456695855noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3535390.post-10605005674389296192011-01-26T10:55:14.883-05:002011-01-26T10:55:14.883-05:00I'll give you one fact that might help you: No...I'll give you one fact that might help you: Norwood has three paramedic units, Cincinnati 12 (before any recent closures). If Cincinnati had as many as Norwood does, based on population, Cincinnati would have 45. There are heart attack survivors who are alive because they had a heart attack in Norwood instead of Cincinnati.Relayman 5Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13843361085886809217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3535390.post-1621481409841266562011-01-25T17:41:54.999-05:002011-01-25T17:41:54.999-05:00Norwood is a statutory city.

That makes it a big of an anomaly in southwestern Ohio, but it's more the norm up north.Gregoryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14544646125484963362noreply@blogger.com
