Courtis Fuller says he isn't seeking endorsements in his mayoral bid, but that didn't stop the African-American Political Caucus and the Urban Appalachian Council from giving him a joint stamp of approval.

        Howard Bond, a founder of the caucus, said there was symbolic value to having the two groups — one mostly black, the other mostly white — make a joint endorsement.

        The two organizations also have jointly endorsed Jane Anderson, Paul Booth, Laketa Cole, Minette Cooper and David Crowley for City Council.

        In addition, Ken Anderson was endorsed by the AAPC alone.

        A Green Party fund-raiser may be an oxymoron, but Wes Flinn doesn't know that.

        The trombonist, music instructor and independent candidate for Cincinnati City Council sat in with Casual Labor and the New Age Insomniacs last weekend at the Comet and raised $321. The Green Party got another $35.

        Mr. Flinn described the take as a “campaign windfall.”

        Cincinnati Mayor Charlie Luken will participate in a forum 3-5 p.m. today to be broadcast on WDBZ-AM (1230) from Integrity Hall on Seymour Avenue.

        The event, sponsored by a number of African-American political organizations, will include question-and-answer time and mock roll-call votes on issues.

        Mr. Fuller's campaign did not release his schedule.
