I am thankful to the clients who place their trust in our office.  It is a tremendous responsibility and I am thankful for the opportunity.  I will continue to dedicate myself to aggressive representation and excellent results.  I am thankful to the team that we have built to serve our clients.  I am thankful to the professionals I come in contact with every day.  Greene County is well served by its attorneys who have created a great place to practice law.  We are also blessed by great judges who care about their jobs and their communities.  Often unheralded, they shape our communities one case at a time.  I am thankful for our law enforcement community.  While we fight hard in court, outside of court they are dedicated heroes who work hard to make our community a better, safer place.  At Brown, Rowland & Kelly we will continue to follow our motto, we will: WORK HARD, PLAY BY THE RULES AND NEVER QUIT.  Have a happy and safe Thanksgiving.

The anger generated by Photo-enforcement is growing.  California residents have taken action against the robo-photo-cop by starting www.highwayrobbery.com.  Arizona's elected Treasurer has come out against the scheme as unconstitutional.  Also, my favorite organization, The National Motorists Association is sending out a mailing which aids citizens in determining if the cops are shortening the yellow light.  http://www.shortyellowlights.com/ According to the Texas Transportation Institute, when the yellow light timing is one second shorter than the bare minimum recommended amount, violations increase by 110 percent (view study).  Stay alert Ohio!

Let me add my words of hope and encouragement to our new President, Barack H. Obama.  I am very proud that our country could elect this man and hope that his symbolism will help to alleviate our nation's original sin of slavery and oppression.  John McCain was gracious and inspiring in defeat.  God Bless the United States of America.
