  CityBeat: A Fuller Perspective (2001-08-09)
Fuller is not the type of person to offer much criticism, but he does have a couple of things to say about his opponent in the race for mayor of Cincinnati, incumbent Charlie Luken.
Fuller says he's happy to see a study being done on the impact of Issue 3, the referendum that amended the city charter to ban equal protection for gays and lesbians.
Fuller says that, even as a news anchor, he tried to work toward that very goal, for example lobbying city council to name a street in honor of Derrick Turnbow, a high school honor student shot and killed after being caught in the crossfire of someone else's fight.

Fuller, meanwhile, recited a long list of woes facing Cincinnati - low homeownership, high crime and a city rated as one of the most segregrated in America - before caustically noting that Luken's experience has done little to alleviate those or other problems.

Fuller, however, noting that Luken himself had identified racial relations as the city's major challenge months before the riots, criticized the mayor for waiting until after April to form CAN.
