Today in Rhein Main: The small print, the small print

Good evening,

personal impressions of the candidates and the fine print in the programs of those running will matter a great deal - because by and large the shortlisted say something similar.

Manuela Rottmann, who is supposed to step into the ring for the Greens, announced on Wednesday that she wanted to reconcile ecology and economy, and she promised to stick to the city council resolution that promises Frankfurt's climate neutrality by 2035.

Mike Josef told the FAZ earlier this week that successful social policy requires economic dynamism and that he doesn't want to play social and ecological issues off against each other.

Would you hear otherwise from the CDU candidate Uwe Becker?

Like I said, it all comes down to the fine print.

Of course, this applies in particular

to court cases, where every word needs to be carefully considered.

Peter Feldmann, a former mayor of the city of Frankfurt, can tell you a thing or two about it.

On Wednesday, however, things went quite well for him in his own trial;

Hannelore Richter, former managing director of the district association of Wiesbaden workers' welfare and special representative for Frankfurt, said of the accused: "He is many things, but not corrupt.

I didn't buy it and it couldn't be bought.” It remains to be seen how the judges will see it in the future.

The fine print on tickets is particularly important.

Despite all caution, who hasn't done a fare evasion because he misunderstood the intricacies of all the local and long-distance public transport tariffs?

Now you might think that the introduction of the 49-euro ticket will make everything easier.

But it's not that simple.

Colleague Ewald Hetrodt listened to a state parliament debate on the topic on Wednesday, and the subheading of his headline already gives an idea of ​​the whole dimension of the new problems that are emerging: "Hessen wants to reconcile the existing flat rate tariffs with the Germany-wide solution." But you can lie down tonight, of course, full of optimism that the politicians will be able to do it.

And

there are still a few places left at the event "Wissenschaft im Dialog" on Thursday evening, which deals with the hotly debated question of how much political guidelines can influence science - more at
