Two mayors who took over two cities and decline now both are headed in two very different directions. Under john Cranley, Cincinnati has made a real comeback. More jobs, higher wages, a city moving forward while under nan whaley, Dayton has continued to decline even more than mike Dewine's Ohio, after decades of Republican ruin. Who's the best democrat to beat the wine and lead Ohio's comeback? The mayor whose city is getting worse? Or john Cranley, the mayor who's already.
