But I am on board with the city s public potty plan.
Promises to build restrooms are not the bedrock of successful political campaigns, and their absence does not raise the voting public s hackles in the way that an absence of snow removal equipment might. City mayors have lost elections over the latter. If a mayor has been ousted over the former, I d be surprised. I d also want to hear about it.
Columbus has enough on its plate, it may be argued, that public restrooms should be taking a back seat to more-pressing issues. Chief among them are the city s hunt for a new police chief and its search for solutions to a run of violence that may well surpass last year s record-setting homicide total.
