7
00:00:21,400 --> 00:00:23,279
Speaker 3: yesterday's listener to lunch course running from mayor of the

8
00:00:23,320 --> 00:00:25,760
Speaker 3: City of Cincinnati. And hopefully he's got a chance more

9
00:00:26,040 --> 00:00:28,360
Speaker 3: probably more of a chance now than we've even seen

10
00:00:28,400 --> 00:00:29,760
Speaker 3: in a long long time. I think you have to

11
00:00:29,760 --> 00:00:32,440
Speaker 3: go back to Brad Winstrom's efforts to become mayor, and

12
00:00:32,479 --> 00:00:35,440
Speaker 3: he came in at forty seven percent, So there's a

13
00:00:35,479 --> 00:00:38,000
Speaker 3: glimmer of hope in that reality. Maybe Corey Bowman can

14
00:00:38,040 --> 00:00:40,200
Speaker 3: push it over the top of fifty percent. Welcome back

15
00:00:40,200 --> 00:00:42,720
Speaker 3: to the fifty five krs Morning Show in studio, Corey

Speaker 3: brilliant man like that as as your mayor? And I said, well,

47
00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:01,880

00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:04,360
Speaker 3: me as your governor? You know another person who's brilliant

49
00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:07,280

50
00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:09,840
Speaker 3: So anyway, a little plug for tomorrow Tech Friday with

51
00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:11,720
Speaker 3: Dave had Ter. Good to see yesterday, Dave, if you're

52
00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:15,160
Speaker 3: out there Court Bowman, I was asking you. You have

53
00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:17,360
Speaker 3: it your church, your minister at your church, but you

54
00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:19,480
Speaker 3: also have this coffee shop. We've talked about it before.

55
00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:22,840
Speaker 3: Located in the West End. Yes, sir, what I would

56
00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:25,320
Speaker 3: say and correct me if I'm wrong? Would you describe

57
00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:28,400
Speaker 3: it as one of the struggling neighborhoods that we talk

58
00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:30,840
Speaker 3: about all the time in the Morning show, neighborhoods plagued

59
00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:34,840
Speaker 3: with crime or maybe roads are having a problem. There's

60
00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:37,200
Speaker 3: lots of empty space that could be developed. Am I

61
00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:38,280
Speaker 3: accurately describing?

62
00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:38,679
Speaker 2: Yeah?

63
00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:41,079
Speaker 4: What I tell people is that the West End has

64
00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:44,160
Speaker 4: been really the dumping grounds of all these failed policies.

65
00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:46,600
Speaker 4: It just so happens that when these policies creep over

66
00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:49,600
Speaker 4: to Hyde Park or in these other neighborhoods.

67
00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:50,200
Speaker 2: Then people start paying it.

68
00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:53,080
Speaker 4: Actually, And so I think that's given me a perfect

69
00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:56,880
Speaker 4: perspective on what government programs do to a community that

70
00:02:56,960 --> 00:03:00,519
Speaker 4: really cripple it, that concentrate the poverty, that concentrate the crime,

71
00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:03,640
Speaker 4: shuts down businesses. But at the same time, the West

72
00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:05,880
Speaker 4: End is our home. That's an area that we believe

73
00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:07,040
Speaker 4: in most in Cincinnati.

74
00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:09,600
Speaker 3: I know you do, and you're committed to it. And

75
00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:12,560
Speaker 3: you had to convince your business partner that creating a

76
00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:18,840
Speaker 3: new business in that particular neighborhood was a good idea. Yeah, listen,

77
00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:20,959
Speaker 3: if you and I were having that conversation today and

78
00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:22,960
Speaker 3: you were talking about Brian, I really once you invests

79
00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:24,400
Speaker 3: I'm going to open a coffee shop, it's going to

80
00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:26,040
Speaker 3: be in the West End. Like I'd be like, wait

81
00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:28,400
Speaker 3: a minute, you mean right down the street from where

82
00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:30,440
Speaker 3: those buildings were getting shot at. You mean right down

83
00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:32,280
Speaker 3: the street from where those murders were, I mean right

84
00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:34,200
Speaker 3: down the street from where that drug dealing is going on.

85
00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:37,360
Speaker 3: And you would have said, yeah, it's worked out, though

86
00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:38,040
Speaker 3: it does.

87
00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:40,480
Speaker 4: And I think that this is kind of like what's

88
00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:43,960
Speaker 4: becoming like my life's pursuit as being a Cincinnatian.

89
00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:45,160
Speaker 2: You know, it's the heart.

90
00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:47,760
Speaker 4: It's always an uphill battle try to convince somebody that

91
00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:52,320
Speaker 4: Cincinnati chili is good that's not from Cincinnati. It's always

92
00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:54,320
Speaker 4: hard to convince somebody to be a Bengals or a

93
00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:57,560
Speaker 4: Reds fan that's not a fan initially. And so at

94
00:03:57,560 --> 00:03:59,640
Speaker 4: the same time, when it comes to the West End,

95
00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:04,000
Speaker 4: it's for people to see the potential based on whether

96
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:05,800
Speaker 4: it be the crime or whether it be what they see.

97
00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:07,680
Speaker 4: But this is an area that we believe in and

98
00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:09,520
Speaker 4: whenever I talk to my cowner, there's a lot of

99
00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:11,440
Speaker 4: different areas you can go to in Cincinnati, and all

100
00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:13,840
Speaker 4: of them are great neighborhoods. But I just have this

101
00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:16,679
Speaker 4: belief that you need to go where you're needed most,

102
00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:19,440
Speaker 4: not necessarily where the tolerance is going to be or

103
00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:22,560
Speaker 4: whether you're going to see the most success initially, but

104
00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:25,120
Speaker 4: go someplace where you can make a true impact and

105
00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:27,320
Speaker 4: then from that you're going to see success.

106
00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:30,440
Speaker 3: And since and I started out the question like how's

107
00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:32,200
Speaker 3: the business doing, and you would talk about your your

108
00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:33,880
Speaker 3: eyes lit up. You're like, Oh, it's really good. We

109
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:36,760
Speaker 3: got this organic growth and development. You got a whole

110
00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:38,840
Speaker 3: bunch of young people from UC coming down to the

111
00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:42,280
Speaker 3: coffee show, people of all makes and models. I mean,

112
00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:46,520
Speaker 3: this is and it's a welcome environment. Other people saw

113
00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:49,440
Speaker 3: your success and are now starting to invest in the area.

114
00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:50,320
Speaker 2: Yeah.

115
00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:52,480
Speaker 4: And so when the first year that we were there

116
00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:54,800
Speaker 4: was actually the year that we went to the Super Bowl, right,

117
00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:57,480
Speaker 4: and so the West End streets were actually lined up

118
00:04:57,520 --> 00:05:01,200
Speaker 4: with investors and developers that were ready to actually invest

119
00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:03,440
Speaker 4: in the West End and other areas of Cincinnati.

120
00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:05,960
Speaker 2: Well, and also FC Cincinnati is up around the street.

121
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:08,200
Speaker 3: I mean that that was that was a big draw

122
00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:11,080
Speaker 3: for I mean they put that there in a struggling neighborhood.

123
00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:11,480
Speaker 2: Yeah.

124
00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:13,640
Speaker 3: I think with the idea that you're going to regentrify

125
00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:15,320
Speaker 3: the whole West End area through.

126
00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:17,080
Speaker 4: The well, what ends up happening is that a lot

127
00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:19,640
Speaker 4: of these city policies and it's two way battle. The

128
00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:22,839
Speaker 4: business owners are trying to find a way to be profitable.

129
00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:25,000
Speaker 4: So they're looking for all the incentives they can, They're

130
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:27,120
Speaker 4: looking for all the tax breaks that they can, right,

131
00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:29,520
Speaker 4: But then On the flip side, you have a lot

132
00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:32,440
Speaker 4: of government programs, a lot of city initiatives that are

133
00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:35,880
Speaker 4: pushing for zoning or pushing for just a lot of

134
00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:39,880
Speaker 4: it's kind of victorial in my opinion. You're you're forcing

135
00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:42,320
Speaker 4: what a building needs to be in instead of letting

136
00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:44,920
Speaker 4: the market and the community decide what it needs to be.

137
00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:46,760
Speaker 2: I mean that like fascists would do.

138
00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:50,240
Speaker 4: Yeah yeah, maybe yeah, so but what I see it

139
00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:52,120
Speaker 4: as that really stunts the growth, and so a lot

140
00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:55,160
Speaker 4: of these initial developers and investors they kind of jump

141
00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:57,320
Speaker 4: ship once they saw that this was going to be

142
00:05:57,320 --> 00:05:59,240
Speaker 4: a long term thing. They're going to have to fight

143
00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:01,360
Speaker 4: the city on things. There's a lot of red tape.

144
00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:03,560
Speaker 4: But right now what we're seeing is that on our

145
00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:07,680
Speaker 4: specific block, the crime in our specific block has gone down.

146
00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:11,200
Speaker 4: And then also you have a lot of different development

147
00:06:11,279 --> 00:06:14,320
Speaker 4: that's finally starting to pick up in the area. And

148
00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:17,479
Speaker 4: that's what we need in these areas. We need thriving businesses,

149
00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:19,960
Speaker 4: we need grocery stores, we need to be able to

150
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:22,520
Speaker 4: have things that the community can do. When you ask

151
00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:24,720
Speaker 4: anybody on the street, when you talk to them about

152
00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:26,920
Speaker 4: youth violence, they say, well, the youth don't have anything

153
00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:29,279
Speaker 4: to do right now, they only have homes to go

154
00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:31,920
Speaker 4: to that our government subsidize house that a lot of

155
00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:34,400
Speaker 4: times the water or the electric is turned off, and

156
00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:36,359
Speaker 4: then at night they don't really have any place to

157
00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:38,640
Speaker 4: hang out or anything to do because the businesses are

158
00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:41,080
Speaker 4: shut down. And we're looking to change that in the

159
00:06:41,080 --> 00:06:43,960
Speaker 4: West End and any other struggling neighborhood in Cincinnati.

160
00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:48,479
Speaker 3: I guess canoeing down the Mill Creek doesn't quite cut it. Then, sorry,

161
00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:50,600
Speaker 3: I had to take a cheap shot on that one.

162
00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:53,200
Speaker 3: I thought that was a preposterous idea. Well, and as

163
00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:55,600
Speaker 3: someone else turned in, Richard, thank you very much, rent

164
00:06:55,720 --> 00:06:57,599
Speaker 3: is cheap on the west in the West End, so

165
00:06:57,720 --> 00:07:01,840
Speaker 3: it's a good opportunity. They save money on that expense

166
00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:05,280
Speaker 3: while you're building this new growth. And so what all

167
00:07:05,320 --> 00:07:10,280
Speaker 3: this suggests and leads to is you live there, your

168
00:07:10,320 --> 00:07:14,240
Speaker 3: church is there, your business is successful there. You had to,

169
00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:17,840
Speaker 3: like others who walked away from the idea, navigate the

170
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:19,960
Speaker 3: challenges of building that business.

171
00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:21,680
Speaker 2: And that's nowhere're navigating.

172
00:07:21,760 --> 00:07:23,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know where the red tape is, you know

173
00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:27,240
Speaker 3: where the stupid impediments are, and I presume that will

174
00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:30,760
Speaker 3: be top of your job priorities. If you're elected mayor,

175
00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:32,040
Speaker 3: that's one of the things you're going after.

176
00:07:32,320 --> 00:07:35,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, well, what we see is so what we're experiencing

177
00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:38,160
Speaker 4: right there, what my front row seat shows me is

178
00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:40,600
Speaker 4: that we need clean streets, we need safe streets, and

179
00:07:40,640 --> 00:07:43,800
Speaker 4: we need prospers streets. There was many people have heard

180
00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:45,360
Speaker 4: me say this, all right, but there was a week

181
00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:47,880
Speaker 4: where people couldn't even come to my business because of

182
00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:49,600
Speaker 4: the snowplower moval in our area.

183
00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:51,760
Speaker 2: And then if you look at the streets.

184
00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:54,960
Speaker 3: That's not a hilly neighborhood, no Mount Adams not talking

185
00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:56,840
Speaker 3: about Yeah okay.

186
00:07:57,280 --> 00:07:59,400
Speaker 4: And so for a business like us that's in our

187
00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:02,000
Speaker 4: first year, a week like that could be detrimental to

188
00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:04,280
Speaker 4: your business model. And so thank god that we had

189
00:08:04,280 --> 00:08:06,600
Speaker 4: the residential that were coming in their snow boots and

190
00:08:06,640 --> 00:08:09,880
Speaker 4: that we're walking in. But for a business that relies

191
00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:12,920
Speaker 4: on visitors in the city, that's huge, right. And then

192
00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:15,280
Speaker 4: you look at the streets. A lot of times we

193
00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:18,360
Speaker 4: have these trucks. This this happens so much to us

194
00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:21,080
Speaker 4: is that we'll see the construction crews come in, right,

195
00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:24,800
Speaker 4: We'll see the road crews come in, and we get

196
00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:27,280
Speaker 4: so excited about they're finally gonna do it, and then

197
00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:30,960
Speaker 4: they have one strip of stuff that they've taken out

198
00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:33,040
Speaker 4: because they're gonna put a water line or a gas

199
00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:35,439
Speaker 4: line in, and then they just patch that over. It's

200
00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:37,800
Speaker 4: the worst patch job I've ever seen. And then they

201
00:08:37,880 --> 00:08:40,160
Speaker 4: leave the street that way. I'm like, wait, we thought

202
00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:42,320
Speaker 4: they were gonna pave our road. We thought they were

203
00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:45,000
Speaker 4: gonna There's a pothole in front of my parking spot

204
00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:47,720
Speaker 4: on the side of York Street that's been there for

205
00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:50,160
Speaker 4: three years.

206
00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:50,440
Speaker 2: Never been fixed before.

207
00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:52,319
Speaker 4: And so this is kind of what we see is

208
00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:54,559
Speaker 4: we get this excitement once we see the road crews

209
00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:57,319
Speaker 4: come in. Then we realize, oh gosh, they're only gonna

210
00:08:57,320 --> 00:09:00,880
Speaker 4: take one strip or like a three foot strip of

211
00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:03,000
Speaker 4: the road just to put a line in and then

212
00:09:03,080 --> 00:09:03,760
Speaker 4: patch it over.

213
00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:08,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, asking the obvious question, I mean, logically and reasonably speaking,

214
00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:11,040
Speaker 3: they have obligations to make sure the roads are paved.

215
00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:13,920
Speaker 3: There are four hundred million dollars behind in their obligation,

216
00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:17,719
Speaker 3: years and years behind in doing that. All the equipment's

217
00:09:17,800 --> 00:09:20,280
Speaker 3: right blank and there you did your little line, probably

218
00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:22,880
Speaker 3: you did your little sewer line fix. Why don't you

219
00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:24,240
Speaker 3: go ahead and fix the road up while you're at

220
00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:27,280
Speaker 3: rather than patch it. You're all here here, You've got

221
00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:30,880
Speaker 3: another illustration of what you, as an elected official, have accomplished.

222
00:09:30,920 --> 00:09:32,920
Speaker 2: On behalf of the West End. We repaved a road

223
00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:34,800
Speaker 2: that it happened in in College Hill.

224
00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:37,439
Speaker 4: We were living College Hill on the first I think

225
00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:39,560
Speaker 4: it was the first month that we moved in our house.

226
00:09:39,559 --> 00:09:42,840
Speaker 4: When we moved there for College Hill, all the crews

227
00:09:42,880 --> 00:09:45,240
Speaker 4: came out. We're all so excited. We're like, oh my gosh,

228
00:09:45,320 --> 00:09:47,319
Speaker 4: they're going to repave our It's a road where a

229
00:09:47,520 --> 00:09:50,720
Speaker 4: school is, there's many residential this is going to be amazing.

230
00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:54,360
Speaker 2: I kid you, not right down the middle.

231
00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:57,679
Speaker 4: I'm not talking about like from like the north end

232
00:09:57,679 --> 00:09:59,520
Speaker 4: of the street to the south end of the street.

233
00:09:59,559 --> 00:10:00,280
Speaker 2: Half of the street.

234
00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:02,960
Speaker 4: I'm talking about straight down the center line of the street.

235
00:10:03,280 --> 00:10:06,080
Speaker 4: They paved one half of the road. The other half

236
00:10:06,120 --> 00:10:08,800
Speaker 4: the road is garbage, but one half the road is

237
00:10:08,920 --> 00:10:12,000
Speaker 4: brand new pavement and they left it there and that's

238
00:10:12,280 --> 00:10:15,000
Speaker 4: how it stayed for two years. And we're like, you

239
00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:17,959
Speaker 4: only finish half the job, what are you coming back?

240
00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:20,280
Speaker 4: And that happens a lot in the city because they're

241
00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:22,720
Speaker 4: only trying to do the bare minimum. Because to be

242
00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:25,360
Speaker 4: honest with you, the budget is not prioritized, it's not

243
00:10:25,400 --> 00:10:28,080
Speaker 4: principal enough to be able to make sure that this

244
00:10:28,280 --> 00:10:28,800
Speaker 4: is at the.

245
00:10:28,760 --> 00:10:31,320
Speaker 3: Forefront, which would be a perfect springboard we get back.

246
00:10:31,360 --> 00:10:33,840
Speaker 3: I wanted to let you let my listeners hear about

247
00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:38,280
Speaker 3: your one million dollars what it could do argument, and

248
00:10:38,280 --> 00:10:41,080
Speaker 3: we'll talk about that in the context of them handing

249
00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:45,199
Speaker 3: out say seven million dollars to so called non governmental organizations.

250
00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:47,200
Speaker 3: You know, every little bit adds up, and what the

251
00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:49,880
Speaker 3: power of one million dollars. It sounds like it wouldn't

252
00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:52,360
Speaker 3: have any it would be pretty profound. More with Mayor

Speaker 3: City of Cincinnati and studio again Corey Boman dot com,

282
00:12:07,640 --> 00:12:10,319
Speaker 3: Corey we engaged in an interesting conversation. I found it

283
00:12:10,360 --> 00:12:12,160
Speaker 3: interesting anyway. I thought it was worthy that you passed

284
00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:15,160
Speaker 3: this information along to my listeners. What you can do

285
00:12:15,240 --> 00:12:17,240
Speaker 3: with a million dollars? And we always talking these giant

286
00:12:17,280 --> 00:12:20,280
Speaker 3: bundles of money, but you give some great illustrations of

287
00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:24,439
Speaker 3: a couple of programs which effectively were ten million dollars

288
00:12:24,480 --> 00:12:27,240
Speaker 3: in a pile of money. You can explain where that

289
00:12:27,360 --> 00:12:30,120
Speaker 3: money went, and then use that ten million dollars to

290
00:12:30,200 --> 00:12:33,360
Speaker 3: explain what could have been in a government city government

291
00:12:33,360 --> 00:12:38,480
Speaker 3: that had a better understanding and better prioritization list, it

292
00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:40,520
Speaker 3: could have brought a lot of what we really truly

293
00:12:40,559 --> 00:12:42,840
Speaker 3: need in the city rather than what it ultimately went for.

294
00:12:42,920 --> 00:12:44,320
Speaker 3: So let's go into that analysis.

295
00:12:44,520 --> 00:12:47,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, so one of our biggest issues that we're facing

296
00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:50,200
Speaker 4: is budget, Right, where's the money going? Because you have,

297
00:12:50,360 --> 00:12:53,319
Speaker 4: let's say a one point nine billion dollar proposed budget

298
00:12:53,360 --> 00:12:55,960
Speaker 4: for the upcoming year. Where's the money gonna go?

299
00:12:56,240 --> 00:12:56,400
Speaker 2: Right?

300
00:12:56,760 --> 00:12:58,400
Speaker 4: And so a lot of people say that all we're

301
00:12:58,440 --> 00:13:01,280
Speaker 4: playing from behind, we're working with one hundred million dollar deficit.

302
00:13:01,360 --> 00:13:05,360
Speaker 4: But no budget is perfect. But what I view it

303
00:13:05,400 --> 00:13:07,319
Speaker 4: as is that every budget needs to be guided by

304
00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:11,240
Speaker 4: principles and priorities. If you have proper principles in your budget,

305
00:13:11,280 --> 00:13:13,920
Speaker 4: what that means is that you're gonna avoid corruption, You're

306
00:13:13,920 --> 00:13:16,880
Speaker 4: gonna avoid this money being used for things that it

307
00:13:16,920 --> 00:13:19,920
Speaker 4: shouldn't be used for. And then priorities, you're gonna make

308
00:13:19,920 --> 00:13:22,200
Speaker 4: sure that even though there's a lot of things we

309
00:13:22,200 --> 00:13:24,680
Speaker 4: can put money into, the money is going first and

310
00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:27,560
Speaker 4: foremost to the things that matter most of people, which

311
00:13:27,600 --> 00:13:31,040
Speaker 4: is crime and infrastructure. That's what's needing to go right now.

312
00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:34,000
Speaker 4: And so recently there was an article that came out

313
00:13:34,040 --> 00:13:38,080
Speaker 4: that a million dollars was given to a local basically

314
00:13:38,400 --> 00:13:43,280
Speaker 4: a landlord that monitors affordable housing in the city. Now

315
00:13:43,320 --> 00:13:48,000
Speaker 4: we have gotten complaint after complaint about there being people

316
00:13:48,040 --> 00:13:50,800
Speaker 4: defecating on the streets of these are on the front

317
00:13:50,800 --> 00:13:55,800
Speaker 4: steps of these tenants, doors, ac, and heat that's not

318
00:13:55,880 --> 00:13:59,280
Speaker 4: being run properly. I've got somebody that would buy my

319
00:13:59,360 --> 00:14:01,640
Speaker 4: church that lived one of these properties said that her

320
00:14:01,640 --> 00:14:04,680
Speaker 4: and her four children didn't have heat for the first year,

321
00:14:05,160 --> 00:14:07,440
Speaker 4: all right, and then they didn't have HVAC.

322
00:14:07,640 --> 00:14:08,920
Speaker 2: There's leaking, there's mold.

323
00:14:08,920 --> 00:14:12,560
Speaker 4: And when they called a complain, the actual people, the

324
00:14:12,679 --> 00:14:16,760
Speaker 4: organization that is running this affordable housing, right they are saying, hey,

325
00:14:16,960 --> 00:14:20,040
Speaker 4: just wipe it up with bleach. There's no proper procedures,

326
00:14:20,160 --> 00:14:23,440
Speaker 4: there's no pest control, there's no anything. And this organization

327
00:14:23,560 --> 00:14:27,000
Speaker 4: that has had so many different complaints just received from

328
00:14:27,040 --> 00:14:29,840
Speaker 4: the city manager's office a million dollar grant and so

329
00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:32,400
Speaker 4: a million dollars going to a lot of people say, oh,

330
00:14:32,400 --> 00:14:34,840
Speaker 4: where's that going to go in this grand scheme of things? Right,

331
00:14:34,960 --> 00:14:36,760
Speaker 4: let me tell you what a million dollars can do,

332
00:14:36,920 --> 00:14:38,760
Speaker 4: because if you look at the city budget, this stuff

333
00:14:38,800 --> 00:14:43,240
Speaker 4: adds up, one million dollars actually can equal to at

334
00:14:43,360 --> 00:14:46,120
Speaker 4: least and this is conservative, right, This isn't with you

335
00:14:46,280 --> 00:14:49,960
Speaker 4: negotiating contracts properly. But let's just say, based on what

336
00:14:49,960 --> 00:14:53,040
Speaker 4: we're seeing, a million dollars can have one center line

337
00:14:53,120 --> 00:14:56,400
Speaker 4: mile of road completely paved. I'm not talking about patch,

338
00:14:56,440 --> 00:15:00,160
Speaker 4: I'm not talking about managed. I'm talking about completely paved, right,

339
00:15:00,440 --> 00:15:03,760
Speaker 4: or two if you're only doing half exactly right, and

340
00:15:03,800 --> 00:15:06,160
Speaker 4: then one million dollars can also let's not forget that

341
00:15:06,200 --> 00:15:09,360
Speaker 4: sixty four percent of our fire trucks right now with

342
00:15:09,440 --> 00:15:13,120
Speaker 4: the CFD, they need either maintenanced or replaced, and so

343
00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:16,760
Speaker 4: a million dollars can actually provide a fully equipped fire truck,

344
00:15:16,800 --> 00:15:17,880
Speaker 4: which saved lives.

345
00:15:18,160 --> 00:15:19,760
Speaker 2: That is actually huge.

346
00:15:19,520 --> 00:15:21,560
Speaker 4: When it comes to crime prevention, because you're gonna be

347
00:15:21,560 --> 00:15:23,240
Speaker 4: able to get to crime scenes quicker, you're gonna be

348
00:15:23,280 --> 00:15:26,360
Speaker 4: able to prevent things a lot quicker there. And then

349
00:15:26,400 --> 00:15:29,600
Speaker 4: a million dollars also conservatively can get the ball rolling

350
00:15:29,640 --> 00:15:33,600
Speaker 4: on ten new CPD officers. When it comes to actually

351
00:15:33,640 --> 00:15:36,240
Speaker 4: doing let's say a lateral hiring class or let's say

352
00:15:36,240 --> 00:15:39,720
Speaker 4: onboarding people with training. Ten a million dollars can do

353
00:15:39,760 --> 00:15:43,080
Speaker 4: that as well for ten new police officers. So now

354
00:15:43,160 --> 00:15:45,600
Speaker 4: let's go into the programs. Because a lot of people say, oh,

355
00:15:45,680 --> 00:15:47,720
Speaker 4: it's just a little bit here, a little bit there. Right,

356
00:15:48,280 --> 00:15:51,920
Speaker 4: let's look at there's seven point two million dollars that

357
00:15:52,080 --> 00:15:55,080
Speaker 4: just got granted to Harrison Avenue. Now, a lot of

358
00:15:55,120 --> 00:15:57,440
Speaker 4: people when they hear that, they're, oh, they're gonna pave

359
00:15:57,480 --> 00:15:59,480
Speaker 4: the roads, they're gonna fix things, They're gonna do that

360
00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:01,920
Speaker 4: Hill's Viaduct is along Harrison Avenue.

361
00:16:01,960 --> 00:16:02,880
Speaker 2: This is going to be awesome.

362
00:16:03,200 --> 00:16:08,080
Speaker 4: Seven point two million dollars toward speed humps, speed humps

363
00:16:08,360 --> 00:16:09,400
Speaker 4: and traffic.

364
00:16:09,040 --> 00:16:12,120
Speaker 2: Prevention, right, but not repaving, not repaving.

365
00:16:12,240 --> 00:16:14,600
Speaker 4: And then you have three point two million dollars that

366
00:16:14,640 --> 00:16:17,160
Speaker 4: win to Act for Cincy, which is a city manager

367
00:16:17,280 --> 00:16:20,480
Speaker 4: crime reduction initiative that has nothing to do with the

368
00:16:20,520 --> 00:16:24,800
Speaker 4: police force, and that was done under the guise of, hey,

369
00:16:25,080 --> 00:16:27,360
Speaker 4: we're going to see crime decrease. Well, I think we

370
00:16:27,400 --> 00:16:29,480
Speaker 4: need our money back based on what we're seeing with

371
00:16:29,560 --> 00:16:32,720
Speaker 4: this summer. So let's just say that ten million dollars, right,

372
00:16:33,040 --> 00:16:36,240
Speaker 4: ten projects, ten million, two projects, ten million dollars. And

373
00:16:36,240 --> 00:16:38,880
Speaker 4: that's just a fraction of what goes into a lot

374
00:16:38,920 --> 00:16:41,480
Speaker 4: of these programs, a lot of these nonprofits, a lot

375
00:16:41,480 --> 00:16:43,640
Speaker 4: of these things. A million dollars for a lot of

376
00:16:43,680 --> 00:16:47,640
Speaker 4: these nonprofits pays ten administrative salaries. That's all it does.

377
00:16:48,200 --> 00:16:52,040
Speaker 4: For other nonprofits that don't even get city funding, a

378
00:16:52,120 --> 00:16:55,240
Speaker 4: million dollars could actually help shake city blocks. It could

379
00:16:55,240 --> 00:16:57,880
Speaker 4: help feed people properly, could help do a lot because

380
00:16:57,880 --> 00:17:00,400
Speaker 4: a lot of nonprofits in the city they don't even

381
00:17:00,440 --> 00:17:02,520
Speaker 4: want to pursue. I talk with a major I'm not

382
00:17:02,600 --> 00:17:06,000
Speaker 4: talking about small I'm talking about a major nonprofit in

383
00:17:06,040 --> 00:17:09,040
Speaker 4: the city that has buildings with their names on it, right,

384
00:17:09,480 --> 00:17:12,879
Speaker 4: And they said that they don't pursue city funding because

385
00:17:12,880 --> 00:17:15,800
Speaker 4: they know the stipulations or the strings that will be.

386
00:17:15,760 --> 00:17:16,479
Speaker 2: Attached to it.

387
00:17:16,880 --> 00:17:20,200
Speaker 4: And these are people that provide free HVA or free

388
00:17:20,240 --> 00:17:23,960
Speaker 4: AC units during the summer for people. They provide free groceries,

389
00:17:24,040 --> 00:17:27,480
Speaker 4: free housing for those that are needing a leg up.

390
00:17:27,720 --> 00:17:29,840
Speaker 4: They do amazing work in the city. They come in

391
00:17:29,880 --> 00:17:31,840
Speaker 4: my coffee shop all the time talking about what they're doing,

392
00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:35,840
Speaker 4: and they're based on volunteer base and they're based on donations.

393
00:17:36,160 --> 00:17:38,920
Speaker 4: So you give it an organization like that proper funding,

394
00:17:39,440 --> 00:17:41,160
Speaker 4: Oh dear god, they're going to be able to shake

395
00:17:41,200 --> 00:17:43,960
Speaker 4: the whole city. But they won't even pursue city funding

396
00:17:44,200 --> 00:17:47,000
Speaker 4: because they realize there's always strings attached, and a lot

397
00:17:47,040 --> 00:17:50,160
Speaker 4: of the organizations that do get city funding, all they're

398
00:17:50,200 --> 00:17:53,040
Speaker 4: doing is painted administrative salaries and making sure that their

399
00:17:53,080 --> 00:17:55,119
Speaker 4: family members are getting jobs.

400
00:17:55,160 --> 00:17:55,760
Speaker 2: And that's it.

401
00:17:58,000 --> 00:18:00,679
Speaker 3: That is a bold statement you just made there, but

402
00:18:00,840 --> 00:18:03,240
Speaker 3: you know it to be true. Corey Bowman will continue

403
00:18:03,280 --> 00:18:07,200
Speaker 3: with Corey Bowman. We first mentioned QC kinetics nagging joint pain.

404
00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:10,879
Speaker 3: You may have it, and I listen, I understand that

405
00:18:10,960 --> 00:18:14,359
Speaker 3: I watched my father struggle with his issues and ultimately

406
00:18:14,400 --> 00:18:16,199
Speaker 3: you had to have knee and hip replacements and all that.

407
00:18:16,240 --> 00:18:17,000
Speaker 2: Maybe you're right there.

408
00:18:17,040 --> 00:18:19,639
Speaker 3: You've done steroids not working anymore, you're stick of getting

409
00:18:19,640 --> 00:18:21,640
Speaker 3: steroid shots. I don't know how many times you can

410
00:18:21,680 --> 00:18:24,359
Speaker 3: do that, But they don't fix the problem, don't cure

411
00:18:24,400 --> 00:18:26,679
Speaker 3: the problem. It's covered up. So surgery may be an

412
00:18:26,680 --> 00:18:28,640
Speaker 3: option for you. But what if he didn't need surgery.

413
00:18:28,680 --> 00:18:32,119
Speaker 3: What if there was something that could actually restore and

414
00:18:32,280 --> 00:18:35,280
Speaker 3: heal the damaged tissue. What if that came from your

415
00:18:35,280 --> 00:18:38,639
Speaker 3: own body. That's what QC kinetics is all about. Regenerative medicine,

416
00:18:38,640 --> 00:18:41,639
Speaker 3: which are advanced cell your treatments from your body that

417
00:18:41,760 --> 00:18:44,920
Speaker 3: help your body heal and restore operative words, restore the

418
00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:49,160
Speaker 3: damage tissue in your joints. So no surgery, no steroids,

419
00:18:49,320 --> 00:18:51,680
Speaker 3: it's just an injection of QC kinetics. I don't want

420
00:18:51,680 --> 00:18:53,280
Speaker 3: to minimalize it. They're going to talk to you about

421
00:18:53,280 --> 00:18:55,640
Speaker 3: it because they offer a free consultation. Will it work

Speaker 3: you can find in the fifty five KRSE morning show

446
00:20:08,840 --> 00:20:11,679
Speaker 3: studios right now because I'm staring at him, Corey Bouman,

447
00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:15,399
Speaker 3: I was going to at the break there and it

448
00:20:15,480 --> 00:20:17,360
Speaker 3: was just testing the waters on this say to cut

449
00:20:17,400 --> 00:20:20,520
Speaker 3: you off, because yes, you do know about it. You

450
00:20:20,520 --> 00:20:22,680
Speaker 3: talk about a million dollars in what it can accomplish

451
00:20:22,760 --> 00:20:25,240
Speaker 3: by the way of you know, lay miles or acquisition

452
00:20:25,280 --> 00:20:27,919
Speaker 3: of trucks or funding you know, ten police officers for

453
00:20:27,960 --> 00:20:32,240
Speaker 3: a year. Then I thought of well the railroad money.

454
00:20:32,280 --> 00:20:34,440
Speaker 3: We got a billion in change piled on the bank account,

455
00:20:34,440 --> 00:20:39,240
Speaker 3: earning interest speaking through investments, and uh, well have we

456
00:20:39,320 --> 00:20:41,800
Speaker 3: gotten a check on that yet? And if it is so,

457
00:20:42,040 --> 00:20:44,879
Speaker 3: how much, where's it gonna go? And what could we

458
00:20:44,960 --> 00:20:47,000
Speaker 3: do with it? If you were in charge, Corey Bowmen.

459
00:20:47,480 --> 00:20:49,879
Speaker 4: So this is what you know the current mayor and

460
00:20:49,920 --> 00:20:53,639
Speaker 4: administration is saying, which you are getting your first checks

461
00:20:53,680 --> 00:20:56,320
Speaker 4: this year this year of fifty four million dollars from

462
00:20:56,320 --> 00:20:59,080
Speaker 4: the railroad purchase. So how it is structured is that

463
00:20:59,119 --> 00:21:01,280
Speaker 4: you get the one point six billion dollars, you put

464
00:21:01,280 --> 00:21:03,919
Speaker 4: it in a trust and then you are investing that and

465
00:21:03,960 --> 00:21:07,679
Speaker 4: then based on your interest received, based on your return

466
00:21:07,720 --> 00:21:11,359
Speaker 4: on investment, then the city is getting payments of fifty

467
00:21:11,400 --> 00:21:13,919
Speaker 4: four million dollars a year, let's say, and that is

468
00:21:13,960 --> 00:21:16,919
Speaker 4: spepecifically supposed to go to where it was promised. So

469
00:21:17,200 --> 00:21:21,160
Speaker 4: existing infrastructure is their categorization of and so they can

470
00:21:21,400 --> 00:21:26,159
Speaker 4: they have started initial programs of paving certain sections of

471
00:21:26,280 --> 00:21:29,280
Speaker 4: roads and certain areas of the city to be able

472
00:21:29,280 --> 00:21:31,200
Speaker 4: to just say that, hey, they're using the fifty four

473
00:21:31,200 --> 00:21:33,880
Speaker 4: million dollars. But this is the problem that's happening right now,

474
00:21:34,359 --> 00:21:36,919
Speaker 4: is that, first off, how it's being held. There's a

475
00:21:36,960 --> 00:21:39,720
Speaker 4: trust that's holding the one point six billion dollars, and

476
00:21:39,760 --> 00:21:43,080
Speaker 4: we're only seeing a very small percentage of increase when

477
00:21:43,119 --> 00:21:46,160
Speaker 4: it comes to our return on investment. Second on that,

478
00:21:46,359 --> 00:21:49,400
Speaker 4: so you're looking at maybe one to three percent increase

479
00:21:49,560 --> 00:21:51,920
Speaker 4: on that, right, So a lot of times it doesn't

480
00:21:51,920 --> 00:21:54,880
Speaker 4: even cover the inflation. It definitely doesn't cover the inflation

481
00:21:54,960 --> 00:21:57,720
Speaker 4: of the costs of the road. And so you're seeing

482
00:21:57,760 --> 00:22:01,359
Speaker 4: an inflation rate of let's say, fifty fifty percent. Is

483
00:22:01,400 --> 00:22:04,080
Speaker 4: the last time I checked fifty percent inflation rate of

484
00:22:04,119 --> 00:22:07,440
Speaker 4: the cost of the materials to be able to pave

485
00:22:07,440 --> 00:22:10,600
Speaker 4: a real cost? Yeah, so the material costs. So already

486
00:22:10,640 --> 00:22:13,720
Speaker 4: we're losing money based on this railroad sale. But hey,

487
00:22:14,119 --> 00:22:16,320
Speaker 4: the deal has already been done, so we got to

488
00:22:16,320 --> 00:22:18,679
Speaker 4: figure out how to spend it properly. But what I

489
00:22:18,680 --> 00:22:21,399
Speaker 4: tell people is how we hold it properly because a

490
00:22:21,440 --> 00:22:24,920
Speaker 4: lot of these funds under the guise of investment, are

491
00:22:24,960 --> 00:22:28,400
Speaker 4: going to things that will never be able to return

492
00:22:29,240 --> 00:22:32,200
Speaker 4: on our investment. So let's say you look at twenty

493
00:22:32,240 --> 00:22:36,280
Speaker 4: million dollars of West End mortgages. Right, twenty million dollars

494
00:22:36,280 --> 00:22:39,280
Speaker 4: of this fund is going toward West End mortgages. Now

495
00:22:39,280 --> 00:22:42,840
Speaker 4: on their books the assets they say that, hey, this investment,

496
00:22:42,840 --> 00:22:45,520
Speaker 4: we're getting our interest. So you're seeing a return on investment.

497
00:22:45,640 --> 00:22:45,840
Speaker 2: Right.

498
00:22:46,280 --> 00:22:49,160
Speaker 4: But I know how forgivable loans work. I know how

499
00:22:49,240 --> 00:22:52,120
Speaker 4: all these different things on the books. You can justify that, yeah,

500
00:22:52,160 --> 00:22:54,800
Speaker 4: we have assets on the books, but these aren't coming

501
00:22:54,840 --> 00:22:55,560
Speaker 4: back to the city.

502
00:22:55,600 --> 00:22:57,439
Speaker 3: I'm just telling you that right now, are they getting

503
00:22:57,480 --> 00:23:00,960
Speaker 3: market rate interest rates? Like currently mortgages are running around six.

504
00:23:00,800 --> 00:23:02,880
Speaker 4: But here but here's the thing, Brian, what's a market

505
00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:06,159
Speaker 4: right interest on a forgivable loan? What's a market straight

506
00:23:06,440 --> 00:23:08,879
Speaker 4: market rate interest on a loan that's just going to

507
00:23:08,920 --> 00:23:10,440
Speaker 4: be taken off your books.

508
00:23:10,119 --> 00:23:13,359
Speaker 3: Eventually, kind of like forgiving student loans, right, you know,

509
00:23:13,480 --> 00:23:15,440
Speaker 3: the money, your interest and then magically.

510
00:23:16,080 --> 00:23:17,280
Speaker 2: So it's just kind of a shell game.

511
00:23:17,320 --> 00:23:20,080
Speaker 4: And then also with this fifty four million dollars, it's

512
00:23:20,119 --> 00:23:22,480
Speaker 4: come in the people that wrote it a lot of

513
00:23:22,680 --> 00:23:25,400
Speaker 4: a lot of the people that wrote the contracts were

514
00:23:25,440 --> 00:23:28,280
Speaker 4: on the conservative front, saying that our biggest fear is

515
00:23:28,280 --> 00:23:29,919
Speaker 4: that there's going to be a shell game in the

516
00:23:29,960 --> 00:23:32,560
Speaker 4: budget right to where they're going to divert funds from

517
00:23:32,600 --> 00:23:35,960
Speaker 4: the city budget and use the fifty four million dollars

518
00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:38,240
Speaker 4: a year for the things that were supposed to be

519
00:23:38,320 --> 00:23:41,080
Speaker 4: spent through the city budget. Because the fifty four million

520
00:23:41,080 --> 00:23:43,360
Speaker 4: dollars was supposed to be It was supposed to help,

521
00:23:43,440 --> 00:23:45,480
Speaker 4: it was supposed to add on top of it. It

522
00:23:45,560 --> 00:23:48,520
Speaker 4: wasn't just supposed to do substitute for other funds.

523
00:23:48,600 --> 00:23:50,960
Speaker 2: And well, that's you're making the same are going to

524
00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:52,679
Speaker 2: make all the time. Money's fungible exactly.

525
00:23:52,760 --> 00:23:54,719
Speaker 3: You get fifty four million dollars in it must go

526
00:23:54,840 --> 00:23:57,560
Speaker 3: to existing infrastructure. Well, you were supposed to be fixing

527
00:23:57,600 --> 00:23:59,879
Speaker 3: existing infrastructure. And how to hew'd you get four hundred

528
00:24:00,280 --> 00:24:03,560
Speaker 3: miles or four hundred million dollars behind in lane miles

529
00:24:04,520 --> 00:24:08,320
Speaker 3: that comes from the general fund, the annual allocation.

530
00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:11,280
Speaker 4: Of the priorities of the budget.

531
00:24:11,320 --> 00:24:13,639
Speaker 3: Give the fifty four million, and you put that over

532
00:24:13,720 --> 00:24:19,480
Speaker 3: here in the existing infrastructure pile, which no longer the

533
00:24:19,640 --> 00:24:21,199
Speaker 3: road miles no longer need to be funded by the

534
00:24:21,200 --> 00:24:24,080
Speaker 3: general budget. That means they can throw things at woke projects,

535
00:24:24,119 --> 00:24:25,080
Speaker 3: green projects.

536
00:24:25,160 --> 00:24:28,520
Speaker 4: Well, Alton Goos, I'll tell you this. They can recategorize

537
00:24:28,520 --> 00:24:30,800
Speaker 4: things as well. So when you have a category of

538
00:24:30,880 --> 00:24:35,359
Speaker 4: existing infrastructure, they can categorize that as a railcar, as

539
00:24:35,400 --> 00:24:39,200
Speaker 4: a streetcar, as public transportation, or as any of these

540
00:24:39,200 --> 00:24:43,199
Speaker 4: other things that they deem as existing infrastructure. They can

541
00:24:43,280 --> 00:24:45,720
Speaker 4: even deem certain things. When it comes to public safety,

542
00:24:45,760 --> 00:24:48,240
Speaker 4: that's another thing. Sixty four percent of our budget goes

543
00:24:48,240 --> 00:24:50,840
Speaker 4: toward public safety. So on the books you can't say

544
00:24:50,840 --> 00:24:53,560
Speaker 4: that we're defunding the police. But a lot of these

545
00:24:53,560 --> 00:24:57,199
Speaker 4: funds aren't going to the police. They're going toward community initiatives.

546
00:24:57,359 --> 00:25:00,480
Speaker 4: They're going toward things like Act for Cincy only, toward

547
00:25:00,560 --> 00:25:03,159
Speaker 4: things that have nothing to do with a proper police force.

548
00:25:03,520 --> 00:25:07,119
Speaker 4: And so it's this huge shell game of recategorizing things

549
00:25:07,119 --> 00:25:08,879
Speaker 4: so that on the books it looks like you're spending

550
00:25:08,880 --> 00:25:11,480
Speaker 4: the money where it doesn't need to go. Now, let's

551
00:25:11,520 --> 00:25:13,840
Speaker 4: go toward the issue of potholes.

552
00:25:13,920 --> 00:25:16,760
Speaker 3: All right, Gonna pause, Yeah, because this sounds like it's

553
00:25:16,800 --> 00:25:19,920
Speaker 3: got legs. Corey Bowman, it's eight thirty five. We'll find

554
00:25:19,920 --> 00:25:23,000
Speaker 3: out about potholes, including the one that's outside of his

555
00:25:23,280 --> 00:25:25,159
Speaker 3: coffee shop, coming up eight thirty five. Right now, if

556
00:25:25,200 --> 00:25:27,280
Speaker 3: you have carecy, the talk stations stick around.

557
00:25:27,040 --> 00:25:28,000
Speaker 2: Fifty five kr?

558
00:25:28,160 --> 00:25:30,240
Speaker 4: Is that okay? How can we get this done with

559
00:25:30,280 --> 00:25:33,400
Speaker 4: the quickest that we quickest time possible based on our

560
00:25:33,480 --> 00:25:36,600
Speaker 4: current city pacing, based on the history of what we're

561
00:25:36,600 --> 00:25:39,399
Speaker 4: seeing in Cincinnati and the current city pacing of our

562
00:25:39,480 --> 00:25:43,199
Speaker 4: road crews, it would take forty years, forty years to

563
00:25:43,280 --> 00:25:46,239
Speaker 4: pave all those roads in Cincinnati, and so that is

564
00:25:46,280 --> 00:25:49,080
Speaker 4: unacceptable in my mind. So then when you look at

565
00:25:49,160 --> 00:25:51,479
Speaker 4: let's let's put a rush on this, what can we do? Well,

566
00:25:51,520 --> 00:25:54,640
Speaker 4: there's a lot of different options. You can work with state, county, state,

567
00:25:54,720 --> 00:25:57,680
Speaker 4: and federal with DOTS to be able to make sure

568
00:25:57,680 --> 00:26:00,720
Speaker 4: that the programs are done properly. You can get ten crews,

569
00:26:00,840 --> 00:26:02,840
Speaker 4: you can get even twenty five crews, two hundred and

570
00:26:02,840 --> 00:26:05,359
Speaker 4: fifty crews, depending on how you want to lay this

571
00:26:05,440 --> 00:26:08,080
Speaker 4: thing out. And then I mean, if you want chaos

572
00:26:08,080 --> 00:26:11,480
Speaker 4: in the city, but then a proper city after afterwards,

573
00:26:11,640 --> 00:26:13,200
Speaker 4: you could do it in a year and a half.

574
00:26:13,000 --> 00:26:15,920
Speaker 2: To two years. Everything can be shut down. Everything will

575
00:26:15,960 --> 00:26:17,200
Speaker 2: be shut down. Everybody.

576
00:26:17,280 --> 00:26:20,400
Speaker 4: Hey, yeah, Massessaria, but hey, in a year and a half,

577
00:26:20,440 --> 00:26:22,399
Speaker 4: two years, you're gonna come out of your house and

578
00:26:22,440 --> 00:26:24,840
Speaker 4: every road's gonna be paved, and it's gonna be like

579
00:26:24,880 --> 00:26:27,240
Speaker 4: that Wizard of Oz phase where Dorothy comes out and

580
00:26:27,240 --> 00:26:28,280
Speaker 4: its color now.

581
00:26:28,160 --> 00:26:30,640
Speaker 3: Right, and then they'll ignore it for a long, long, long,

582
00:26:30,680 --> 00:26:32,600
Speaker 3: long time, and then the roads will fall apart again

583
00:26:32,600 --> 00:26:34,840
Speaker 3: because they're not taking care of real time with what's

584
00:26:34,880 --> 00:26:36,880
Speaker 3: falling apart real time, And that's how you get behind

585
00:26:36,920 --> 00:26:38,160
Speaker 3: the eight ball like we are now.

586
00:26:38,440 --> 00:26:41,080
Speaker 4: Also, you got to look at like some roads, even

587
00:26:41,119 --> 00:26:43,879
Speaker 4: if you repave them, you're gonna have to redo. And

588
00:26:43,920 --> 00:26:46,280
Speaker 4: I'm not talking about repaving. I'm talking about like you're

589
00:26:46,280 --> 00:26:49,000
Speaker 4: gonna have to restructure the capacity of your infrastructure to

590
00:26:49,040 --> 00:26:51,439
Speaker 4: take on more add from a two lane to a

591
00:26:51,520 --> 00:26:54,800
Speaker 4: four lane, or add another highway, another on ramp. There's

592
00:26:54,840 --> 00:26:56,960
Speaker 4: a lot of different things that you got to take

593
00:26:57,000 --> 00:26:58,240
Speaker 4: in consideration with that.

594
00:26:58,680 --> 00:27:01,879
Speaker 3: But I would argue that the currentaman being so enlightened

595
00:27:01,920 --> 00:27:05,280
Speaker 3: and green, they're not interested in adding any vehicles. They're

596
00:27:05,320 --> 00:27:08,640
Speaker 3: not interested in coping with an increase in the number

597
00:27:08,680 --> 00:27:10,879
Speaker 3: of cars. They want to reduce the number of cars.

598
00:27:10,920 --> 00:27:13,280
Speaker 3: Get on a bike and ride. That's the mentality they have.

599
00:27:13,600 --> 00:27:15,960
Speaker 4: I want to say this too. By chance, if there's

600
00:27:16,040 --> 00:27:19,520
Speaker 4: anybody that is a proponent of public transportation that's watching

601
00:27:19,680 --> 00:27:23,520
Speaker 4: or that's listening, I'm not against public transportation. When you

602
00:27:23,560 --> 00:27:26,200
Speaker 4: go to major downtown areas, when you go to let's

603
00:27:26,200 --> 00:27:29,760
Speaker 4: say New York Chicago, they thrive off their public transportation.

604
00:27:30,040 --> 00:27:32,760
Speaker 4: So in our downtown area, we do need to actually

605
00:27:32,760 --> 00:27:35,679
Speaker 4: consider things. And this is an official endorsement, but you

606
00:27:35,760 --> 00:27:38,200
Speaker 4: got to be able to have conversations about the single

607
00:27:38,280 --> 00:27:43,680
Speaker 4: lane public transportation lanes, whether it be with your buses

608
00:27:43,760 --> 00:27:45,960
Speaker 4: or whether it be with your street cars or monorails

609
00:27:46,119 --> 00:27:49,200
Speaker 4: or subways. Everybody wants to talk about the subway tunnels,

610
00:27:49,400 --> 00:27:50,919
Speaker 4: and I'm like, I get it. We want to have

611
00:27:51,000 --> 00:27:52,960
Speaker 4: subways in the city. But at the same time, we

612
00:27:53,000 --> 00:27:54,520
Speaker 4: got to be able to fix our roads that are

613
00:27:54,520 --> 00:27:57,600
Speaker 4: on the surface right now, and then based on our

614
00:27:57,720 --> 00:28:02,200
Speaker 4: current public transportation. I'll tell you this. Our Cincinnati Fire Department,

615
00:28:02,760 --> 00:28:05,040
Speaker 4: they it's it's very hard for them to do their

616
00:28:05,119 --> 00:28:06,960
Speaker 4: job because a lot of times they're in line with

617
00:28:07,040 --> 00:28:10,520
Speaker 4: a streetcar or you know there they have to abide

618
00:28:10,600 --> 00:28:12,879
Speaker 4: by the line of where that car is going, and

619
00:28:12,920 --> 00:28:14,520
Speaker 4: so it makes it harder for them. So these are

620
00:28:14,560 --> 00:28:17,000
Speaker 4: things that you always have to consider and if we

621
00:28:17,040 --> 00:28:19,760
Speaker 4: can work together, we can have a proper plan. I'm

622
00:28:19,800 --> 00:28:22,240
Speaker 4: looking at it probably I mean I want to rush

623
00:28:22,280 --> 00:28:24,400
Speaker 4: it and say five years, but you're talking about five

624
00:28:24,400 --> 00:28:27,520
Speaker 4: to ten years to where the infrastructure of our city

625
00:28:27,600 --> 00:28:30,080
Speaker 4: can go to a complete new level, to where not

626
00:28:30,119 --> 00:28:33,240
Speaker 4: only are you paving the roads properly, but when it

627
00:28:33,280 --> 00:28:38,240
Speaker 4: comes to the capacity for future championships. Let's say NCAA

628
00:28:38,360 --> 00:28:40,120
Speaker 4: wants to have a tournament here. Let's say that we

629
00:28:40,160 --> 00:28:42,800
Speaker 4: want to have concerts here. We're backed up on a

630
00:28:42,880 --> 00:28:46,880
Speaker 4: Tuesday afternoon with no events when it comes to traffic,

631
00:28:47,080 --> 00:28:50,080
Speaker 4: So it's not just about okay, let's throw on public transportation.

632
00:28:50,120 --> 00:28:53,160
Speaker 4: It's about let's look overall what our capacity needs to

633
00:28:53,160 --> 00:28:55,800
Speaker 4: look like from an infrastructure standpoint to be able to

634
00:28:55,840 --> 00:28:58,479
Speaker 4: take this on. And I think that based on what

635
00:28:58,480 --> 00:29:00,800
Speaker 4: I'm seeing, there's clear ways. So we can do that

636
00:29:00,960 --> 00:29:03,720
Speaker 4: if we have proper relationships with the county, with the state,

637
00:29:03,840 --> 00:29:06,760
Speaker 4: with the federal with DOTS and everybody involved in the.

638
00:29:06,680 --> 00:29:10,920
Speaker 3: Community, a coordinated effort with a unified goal. The problem is,

639
00:29:10,960 --> 00:29:13,480
Speaker 3: and everything you saying makes sense, and I'm sure you

640
00:29:13,480 --> 00:29:16,640
Speaker 3: know that the current council makeup and the mayor would

641
00:29:16,640 --> 00:29:20,800
Speaker 3: not disagree conceptually with what you've got. The problem is

642
00:29:21,360 --> 00:29:25,240
Speaker 3: it is not a priority with exactly. There are more

643
00:29:25,280 --> 00:29:29,520
Speaker 3: important fluffy ideas to chase, or NGOs with woke policies

644
00:29:29,520 --> 00:29:31,960
Speaker 3: to chase. There's NGOs out there. They're going to fulfill

645
00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:36,280
Speaker 3: their green green objectives for the city. And all of that,

646
00:29:36,360 --> 00:29:39,080
Speaker 3: you know, may sound wonderful looking at it in a

647
00:29:39,240 --> 00:29:44,200
Speaker 3: factual vacuum, it's not when you look at it in

648
00:29:44,280 --> 00:29:46,040
Speaker 3: a city that is literally crumbling.

649
00:29:46,320 --> 00:29:48,680
Speaker 4: Yes, and so that's what we have to folks on.

650
00:29:48,800 --> 00:29:51,560
Speaker 4: I know, if Christopher Spintherman's listened to me, he's probably

651
00:29:51,600 --> 00:29:53,080
Speaker 4: going to be mad at me because I get in

652
00:29:53,120 --> 00:29:56,040
Speaker 4: the weeds of all these details. He tells me, just kiss,

653
00:29:56,080 --> 00:29:58,800
Speaker 4: you know, keep a simple stupid But the thing is

654
00:29:58,840 --> 00:30:03,600
Speaker 4: that when we say practical budgeting, when we say infrastructure,

655
00:30:03,640 --> 00:30:06,640
Speaker 4: when we say crime, we have a plan. We know,

656
00:30:06,880 --> 00:30:09,320
Speaker 4: we know based on what we're seeing. We're surround ourselves

657
00:30:09,360 --> 00:30:11,760
Speaker 4: with the right people. And I really believe that one

658
00:30:11,800 --> 00:30:14,280
Speaker 4: election can turn this thing around. But we have to

659
00:30:14,320 --> 00:30:15,960
Speaker 4: get people out to vote a man.

660
00:30:16,080 --> 00:30:17,719
Speaker 3: Since you brought up the fire department earlier, I want

661
00:30:17,760 --> 00:30:20,280
Speaker 3: to give a shout out to Michael Washington, the fire

00:30:24,960 --> 00:30:27,320
Speaker 3: hell of a good guy. So Michael, if you're out there,

681
00:31:11,320 --> 00:31:14,440
Speaker 1: should start to clear out rather quickly, then slow again

682
00:31:14,520 --> 00:31:17,720
Speaker 1: through Lachland northbound. Seventy five's running close to an extra

Speaker 3: tomorrow morning at six thirty good scene. Dave Hatter listen

688
00:31:34,640 --> 00:31:37,160
Speaker 3: to lunch yesterday as well, and Corey Bowman is in studio.

689
00:31:37,200 --> 00:31:43,680
Speaker 3: Corybowman dot Com again shout out with the website. You're

690
00:31:43,680 --> 00:31:47,280
Speaker 3: doing a debate with AFTAB actually two of them.

691
00:31:47,520 --> 00:31:49,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, we just I mean, so for the one that's

692
00:31:49,680 --> 00:31:52,200
Speaker 4: officially confirmed is October ninth, and it's going to be

693
00:31:52,200 --> 00:31:55,800
Speaker 4: at Xavier University. They have a ballroom set up. I

694
00:31:55,880 --> 00:31:58,720
Speaker 4: believe there's a capacity of about five hundred that they're

695
00:31:58,720 --> 00:32:02,080
Speaker 4: agreeing to, and so that will be moderated by Kevin Aldridge.

696
00:32:02,080 --> 00:32:05,520
Speaker 4: He's the one that did the primary debate before. So

697
00:32:05,600 --> 00:32:08,360
Speaker 4: that's going on. Unfortunately, what's looking like is that the

698
00:32:08,360 --> 00:32:11,560
Speaker 4: public tickets are sold out. They were sold out fairly quickly,

699
00:32:11,600 --> 00:32:16,200
Speaker 4: in about twelve hours. So yeah, we're suspicious about that one.

700
00:32:16,880 --> 00:32:20,280
Speaker 4: How many they give you so personally we have I

701
00:32:20,320 --> 00:32:24,840
Speaker 4: believe twenty five per candidate. Xavier and their faculty has

702
00:32:24,880 --> 00:32:28,480
Speaker 4: two hundred tickets, so they're distributing those out and then

703
00:32:28,880 --> 00:32:31,600
Speaker 4: the public. There was a public registration link that went

704
00:32:31,720 --> 00:32:32,479
Speaker 4: fairly quickly.

705
00:32:32,880 --> 00:32:36,720
Speaker 3: And not being familiar with Xavier University, it's current political climate,

706
00:32:36,720 --> 00:32:39,760
Speaker 3: I'm just wondering if it's a bastion of conservatism at

707
00:32:39,760 --> 00:32:44,400
Speaker 3: that Catholic university. Great students of Xavier, you're a politician

708
00:32:44,480 --> 00:32:46,200
Speaker 3: right there, you're not gonna call him out, all right,

709
00:32:46,240 --> 00:32:51,040
Speaker 3: that's wonderful. So two debates then that's the ninth with

710
00:32:51,120 --> 00:32:52,760
Speaker 3: the one that's sold out at Xavier, and then you

711
00:32:52,760 --> 00:32:55,120
Speaker 3: have a local twelve debate. You're going to be on

712
00:32:56,000 --> 00:32:58,600
Speaker 3: Channel twelve at six pm on the fifteenth.

713
00:32:58,720 --> 00:33:01,960
Speaker 4: Right, Yes, we're finalizing all the agreements on it right now,

714
00:33:01,960 --> 00:33:03,720
Speaker 4: but that's what it's looking like, is that at six

715
00:33:03,800 --> 00:33:07,160
Speaker 4: pm on October fifteenth, during the six o'clock news hour,

716
00:33:07,240 --> 00:33:08,200
Speaker 4: we will be live there.

717
00:33:08,280 --> 00:33:13,200
Speaker 3: Good and in terms of debate prep, I'm thinking maybe

718
00:33:13,440 --> 00:33:16,080
Speaker 3: Todd Zenzer might benefit you having him in your corner.

719
00:33:16,120 --> 00:33:19,760
Speaker 3: Todd Zenzer, citizen watchdog, a brilliant man. And here how

720
00:33:19,760 --> 00:33:26,440
Speaker 3: about this Todd Zenzer citizen watchdog city manager under the

721
00:33:26,440 --> 00:33:28,840
Speaker 3: Corey Bowman administration. Todd, if you're out there, I'm gunning

722
00:33:28,880 --> 00:33:32,080
Speaker 3: for you, man. You couldn't put a more brilliant person

723
00:33:32,440 --> 00:33:35,240
Speaker 3: and a more suited person in that role. I'm just saying,

724
00:33:35,800 --> 00:33:38,760
Speaker 3: just saying, not trying to control your administration. Vice Mayor

725
00:33:38,960 --> 00:33:42,920
Speaker 3: Christopher Smithman. Anyway, real quick here joke. Drecker found this

726
00:33:42,960 --> 00:33:45,720
Speaker 3: before me and props again, and I mentioned this in

727
00:33:45,720 --> 00:33:49,120
Speaker 3: the morning Signal ninety nine. She is out on Facebook

728
00:33:49,160 --> 00:33:50,880
Speaker 3: and does a wonderful job stand up on top of

729
00:33:50,880 --> 00:33:53,000
Speaker 3: city matters as well, kind of like Todd Zenzer, except

730
00:33:53,240 --> 00:33:55,960
Speaker 3: more from a law enforcement perspective. But if she sees

731
00:33:56,000 --> 00:33:59,880
Speaker 3: shenanigans going on, she calls him out. So Purvol in

732
00:34:00,080 --> 00:34:03,280
Speaker 3: his ribbon cutting ceremony like efforts is out there announcing

733
00:34:03,360 --> 00:34:06,400
Speaker 3: how he You know, the city paid off two undred

734
00:34:06,440 --> 00:34:09,160
Speaker 3: and nineteen million dollars in medical bills and oh my god,

735
00:34:09,200 --> 00:34:12,120
Speaker 3: aren't we great for over one hundred thousand residents, And

736
00:34:12,160 --> 00:34:13,960
Speaker 3: as it comes to find out, according to the Signal

737
00:34:14,040 --> 00:34:16,520
Speaker 3: ninety nine, I guess and other reporting on it, they

738
00:34:16,560 --> 00:34:21,719
Speaker 3: spent one point four five million dollars and bought the

739
00:34:21,760 --> 00:34:24,719
Speaker 3: two hundred and nineteen million dollars in outstanding debt. So

740
00:34:24,760 --> 00:34:27,279
Speaker 3: it's like a bankruptcy thing, you know, it's like you're

741
00:34:27,280 --> 00:34:29,240
Speaker 3: gonna get pennies on the dollar when you're a creditor.

742
00:34:29,320 --> 00:34:32,719
Speaker 3: The providers apparently had written this off is not recoverable,

743
00:34:32,719 --> 00:34:34,680
Speaker 3: but it's on the books. Two hunred nineteen million dollars.

744
00:34:34,680 --> 00:34:36,560
Speaker 3: City shows up, hands him a check for one point

745
00:34:36,640 --> 00:34:38,960
Speaker 3: four to five million, and they wiped that off the book.

746
00:34:39,080 --> 00:34:40,799
Speaker 3: So the American run around talking about how he got

747
00:34:40,840 --> 00:34:43,200
Speaker 3: two hundred and nineteen million dollars in debt relief. Well,

748
00:34:43,680 --> 00:34:45,960
Speaker 3: and signal points that listen, if you're Medicaid, you don't

749
00:34:45,960 --> 00:34:48,080
Speaker 3: have you don't know how any medical you already have

750
00:34:48,120 --> 00:34:50,960
Speaker 3: medical coverage, you're not having bills Medicare. You may have

751
00:34:51,000 --> 00:34:54,040
Speaker 3: some copays, but you're still covered in the senior years.

752
00:34:54,400 --> 00:34:56,919
Speaker 3: And people with private insurance are expected to pay their

753
00:34:57,160 --> 00:34:59,719
Speaker 3: deductibles in premiums like the rest of us, which most

754
00:34:59,719 --> 00:35:04,040
Speaker 3: of us do. So the conclusion is, hmmm, who actually

755
00:35:04,200 --> 00:35:08,680
Speaker 3: was benefiting from this payoff of hospital bills? And how

756
00:35:08,760 --> 00:35:10,480
Speaker 3: is it the purvol is getting away with saying I

757
00:35:10,480 --> 00:35:12,280
Speaker 3: go re loose to it an I two million dollars

758
00:35:12,520 --> 00:35:15,279
Speaker 3: was one point four or five million dollars translated to

759
00:35:16,000 --> 00:35:18,120
Speaker 3: at least a mile and a half of paved road.

760
00:35:19,840 --> 00:35:20,040
Speaker 2: Yeah.

761
00:35:20,080 --> 00:35:22,440
Speaker 4: The only thing I'll say about that because you know,

762
00:35:22,520 --> 00:35:25,560
Speaker 4: I don't want to discredit the joy that somebody would

763
00:35:25,640 --> 00:35:29,440
Speaker 4: get from having medical debt, you know, removed in the city.

764
00:35:29,880 --> 00:35:33,120
Speaker 4: But I find it very very I don't think it's

765
00:35:33,120 --> 00:35:35,440
Speaker 4: a coincidence the timing of it. That's what I will

766
00:35:35,520 --> 00:35:38,200
Speaker 4: say with it, because, yeah, what we're what we're dealing

767
00:35:38,239 --> 00:35:41,279
Speaker 4: with with the city is that every election year, a

768
00:35:41,320 --> 00:35:45,239
Speaker 4: lot of these programs get accelerated. A lot of these

769
00:35:45,280 --> 00:35:48,359
Speaker 4: things get put to the forefront because of an election year.

770
00:35:48,520 --> 00:35:50,400
Speaker 2: But then you mean like canoes in the mill Creek.

771
00:35:51,560 --> 00:35:54,439
Speaker 4: But the thing is is that then the the three

772
00:35:54,520 --> 00:35:58,279
Speaker 4: years after the election, people get treated like garbage. They

773
00:35:58,320 --> 00:36:02,279
Speaker 4: get ignored. There's no transparency when it comes to the administration,

774
00:36:02,400 --> 00:36:04,520
Speaker 4: there's no sense of care when it comes to those

775
00:36:04,560 --> 00:36:07,040
Speaker 4: three years. But then once the election year hits, well,

776
00:36:07,080 --> 00:36:09,960
Speaker 4: that's when we're able to be more active on social media.

777
00:36:10,360 --> 00:36:13,239
Speaker 4: That's when we're able to make all these promises. And

778
00:36:13,320 --> 00:36:15,480
Speaker 4: for me, I mean for somebody that this is my

779
00:36:15,600 --> 00:36:19,279
Speaker 4: first run in politics, it just seemed fairly obvious to

780
00:36:19,320 --> 00:36:21,440
Speaker 4: me what was going on. Yeah, but then at the

781
00:36:21,440 --> 00:36:23,680
Speaker 4: same time, it's like, hey, I guess this is how

782
00:36:23,760 --> 00:36:26,160
Speaker 4: a lot of people play the game. This isn't something

783
00:36:26,200 --> 00:36:29,160
Speaker 4: that I plan to do for me. It's more so, Hey,

784
00:36:29,320 --> 00:36:32,400
Speaker 4: whatever our administration is focusing on, that's going to be

785
00:36:32,440 --> 00:36:35,680
Speaker 4: what we're focusing on from year one, year two, year three,

786
00:36:36,000 --> 00:36:39,680
Speaker 4: year four, and then in four years our track record

787
00:36:39,719 --> 00:36:42,960
Speaker 4: is what's going to speak louder than our campaign strategy

788
00:36:42,960 --> 00:36:43,680
Speaker 4: for the next.

789
00:36:43,560 --> 00:36:45,799
Speaker 3: Year, of course, and you'll be able to offer a

790
00:36:46,400 --> 00:36:49,840
Speaker 3: comparison of administrations one versus the other. Corey Bauman, I

791
00:36:49,880 --> 00:36:52,359
Speaker 3: wish you all the success in the world. I truly hope,

792
00:36:52,400 --> 00:36:54,480
Speaker 3: and you know, I don't know how you're gonna do

793
00:36:54,600 --> 00:36:57,040
Speaker 3: is mayor if you get elected, but I'm willing to

794
00:36:57,200 --> 00:36:59,040
Speaker 3: encourage people to give it a shot. We know what

795
00:36:59,080 --> 00:37:03,160
Speaker 3: we've got currently. Most people are unhappy about at least something.

796
00:37:03,640 --> 00:37:06,279
Speaker 3: I think crime maybe number one on that issue. Of late,

797
00:37:06,360 --> 00:37:09,240
Speaker 3: we've had all these horrific stories Ereah Herringer and Holly

798
00:37:09,360 --> 00:37:11,879
Speaker 3: and the shootings. I mean, you mentioned this morning when

799
00:37:11,880 --> 00:37:14,319
Speaker 3: you came in to me somebody else got shot in

800
00:37:14,320 --> 00:37:14,560
Speaker 3: the back.

801
00:37:14,600 --> 00:37:17,800
Speaker 4: Well last night somebody in Avedale in the back. Yeah,

802
00:37:17,840 --> 00:37:20,160
Speaker 4: and so this is something that we're seeing and we

803
00:37:20,239 --> 00:37:22,920
Speaker 4: can't just sit there and say, hey, it's so bad,

804
00:37:23,080 --> 00:37:26,160
Speaker 4: give us a shot. I really need people to know

805
00:37:26,200 --> 00:37:28,080
Speaker 4: that we have the plans, we have the structure, we're

806
00:37:28,080 --> 00:37:31,240
Speaker 4: surrounding ourselves with the right people, and I really believe

807
00:37:31,280 --> 00:37:33,680
Speaker 4: that we can turn this thing around with a one election.

808
00:37:34,120 --> 00:37:37,360
Speaker 4: It really takes just practical mentalities when it comes to

809
00:37:37,400 --> 00:37:41,080
Speaker 4: city Hall, prioritizing the budget and making sure that you're

810
00:37:41,080 --> 00:37:43,160
Speaker 4: spending the money properly, make sure that you're putting the

811
00:37:43,160 --> 00:37:46,560
Speaker 4: priorities on infrastructure and crime, and that's what we're running on.

812
00:37:46,719 --> 00:37:47,640
Speaker 2: And so if.

813
00:37:47,840 --> 00:37:50,560
Speaker 4: Anybody's out there's listening, that you if you're a Cincinnati voter,

814
00:37:50,920 --> 00:37:54,360
Speaker 4: the last date to register too is October sixth. We've

815
00:37:54,400 --> 00:37:56,480
Speaker 4: got to get out there and vote, so make sure

816
00:37:56,520 --> 00:37:59,760
Speaker 4: to check your registration status. I believe it's vote Hamilton

817
00:37:59,760 --> 00:38:03,960
Speaker 4: count and then early voting starts October seventh. A lot

818
00:38:03,960 --> 00:38:06,320
Speaker 4: of people want to focus on November fourth as the election.

819
00:38:06,760 --> 00:38:10,319
Speaker 4: I encourage every single person out that's listening, get out

820
00:38:10,320 --> 00:38:14,040
Speaker 4: there and vote early, and then, just like Christopher Smithman says,

821
00:38:14,080 --> 00:38:16,120
Speaker 4: we have to be strategic when it comes to our votes.

822
00:38:16,200 --> 00:38:20,040
Speaker 4: So vote for three four or five city council candidates.

823
00:38:20,040 --> 00:38:23,200
Speaker 4: Don't vote for all nine, vote for three four five

824
00:38:23,280 --> 00:38:25,360
Speaker 4: city council candidates that you believe in.
