         1                 MS. HATCH:  Yeah, it's like an
 
         2  article.
 
         3                 MR. JANUS:  Why is there no one
 
         4  here.
 
         5                 MS. HATCH:  Go ahead, Woody.
 
         6                 MR. OSBURN:  To answer your
 
         7  question, I think that in Cincinnati that probably
 
         8  is typical.  And you know, I've struggled with that
 
         9  question as to why we have this Disability Rights
 
        10  move, as we call it, Independent Living Movement
 
        11  and why it doesn't interest the media, you know.  I
 
        12  have some theories, but I'll spare you that.
 
        13                We got some media coverage yesterday
 
        14  in Dayton.  It certainly was not the attention that
 
        15  the issues deserve.  And I just think as a minority
 
        16  we are ignored for whatever reasons.  And, you
 
        17  know, that is a big function I would say of the
 
        18  SILC on a statewide level to get that remedied.  So
 
        19  that is a priority that I personally would like to
 
        20  see taken care of.  That's just a personal comment.
 
        21    Kathleen?
 
        22                 MS. HATCH:  That's it.  I was just
 
        23  going to tell him about yesterday.  In Dayton
 
        24  yesterday we had representative I think it's a

         1  local FM radio station, and public radio.  Anyway,
 
         2  they are doing disabilities awareness week in May
 
         3  and the columnist wanted to be there.  And she's
 
         4  going to try to come to a couple other ones as
 
         5  well, so that's a start.  We are working on it.
 
         6                 MR. LEVTZ:  I'm wondering about
 
         7  something.  One of the things that I mentioned
 
         8  earlier that the City Council here in Cincinnati
 
         9  had been looking at ways of how they can make
 
        10  housing affordable.  And I'm just wondering -- I
 
        11  think it'll be really interesting.  Are you
 
        12  planning on making any type of presentation to the
 
        13  City Council here in Cincinnati?
 
        14                 MR. OSBURN:  We hadn't planned on it
 
        15  up until this moment.  You know, I guess I'll let
 
        16  Linda address that one.  I mean, it's a local
 
        17  issue.  But it's also a state issue, so that I'm
 
        18  not trying to cop out.  I think in terms of
 
        19  addressing the City Council, if we were invited to
 
        20  come and do that, certainly, we would do that,
 
        21  sure.
 
        22                 MS. GOOD:  I'll go a little bit
 
        23  further.  I'd be willing to go with members from
 
        24  Independent Living Operations if necessary.

         1                 MR. OSBURN:  Any other questions?
