1
00:00:03,720 --> 00:00:05,280
Speaker 1: Just I have eight oh six here at fifty five

2
00:00:05,320 --> 00:00:08,080
Speaker 1: KRC decalk station. Happy Friday Eve, of course it being

3
00:00:08,119 --> 00:00:10,640
Speaker 1: Friday Eve. I heard media aviation expert Jay Rattleft at

4
00:00:10,640 --> 00:00:13,000
Speaker 1: bottom of the hour. I love my conversations with Jay,

5
00:00:13,039 --> 00:00:14,720
Speaker 1: and I hope you feel the same way. In the meantime, though,

6
00:00:14,760 --> 00:00:17,000
Speaker 1: I'm so pleased welcome back to the fifty five CARSC

7
00:00:17,120 --> 00:00:18,919
Speaker 1: Morning Show. I feel like it's been too long from

8
00:00:18,920 --> 00:00:21,880
Speaker 1: the Cincinnti Inquirer actually doing local reporting. You find on

9
00:00:21,880 --> 00:00:24,520
Speaker 1: my line at cincinnti dot com. Scott Whartman, welcome back

10
00:00:24,520 --> 00:00:26,360
Speaker 1: to the morning show. It's great having you on this morning.

11
00:00:27,480 --> 00:00:29,000
Speaker 2: Great to be here, Thanks for having me.

12
00:00:29,040 --> 00:00:31,319
Speaker 1: Good morning, well, and thank you for bringing it to

13
00:00:31,360 --> 00:00:33,760
Speaker 1: our attention what's going on Sincinny City Council. You know,

14
00:00:33,760 --> 00:00:35,319
Speaker 1: we don't get a lot of information out of them.

15
00:00:35,360 --> 00:00:37,640
Speaker 1: Quite often they're not really willing to comment on any

16
00:00:37,640 --> 00:00:39,960
Speaker 1: given topic. Any give a call to the baftab's office

17
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:42,959
Speaker 1: and calls are not returned immediately. I see that regularly

18
00:00:43,040 --> 00:00:46,319
Speaker 1: mentioned in your articles on Cincinnati reporting. But the other

19
00:00:46,360 --> 00:00:49,400
Speaker 1: day there were a couple of rest I bet you have.

20
00:00:50,440 --> 00:00:52,400
Speaker 1: Can I ask you just interroject real quick here does

21
00:00:52,440 --> 00:00:55,040
Speaker 1: it do you get frustrated by that? I mean that

22
00:00:55,120 --> 00:00:58,200
Speaker 1: seems to me if just from my observations and you're

23
00:00:58,280 --> 00:01:01,360
Speaker 1: involved directly with reaching out to council people and the

24
00:01:01,360 --> 00:01:04,480
Speaker 1: mayor's office and the city manager's office, does it frustrate

25
00:01:04,520 --> 00:01:06,679
Speaker 1: you to get the no comment or no call return

26
00:01:06,959 --> 00:01:08,000
Speaker 1: response a lot?

27
00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:13,119
Speaker 2: I mean one of the things with reporting actually, because

28
00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:15,880
Speaker 2: a lot of my reporting is based on public records

29
00:01:16,120 --> 00:01:21,360
Speaker 2: and also talking to like residents, It's up to anyone

30
00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:23,240
Speaker 2: that wants to talk to us or doesn't want to

31
00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:25,480
Speaker 2: talk to talk to me. I mean, the story is

32
00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:30,759
Speaker 2: gonna happen either way, so it never really kills us.

33
00:01:30,959 --> 00:01:34,039
Speaker 2: It's never killed a story by someone not talking to me.

34
00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:37,520
Speaker 2: So I mean honestly, I mean I think public officials

35
00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:44,039
Speaker 2: should talk, yeah, and should, but it is it's up

36
00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:44,840
Speaker 2: to them. Scott.

37
00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:48,240
Speaker 1: That becomes a subtle point that you're making in the article.

38
00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:50,400
Speaker 1: It is important for them to talk to us. It

39
00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:52,240
Speaker 1: is important for them to explain what the hell they're

40
00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:54,800
Speaker 1: doing and what motivates them that they don't and that

41
00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:57,160
Speaker 1: you gave them then opportunity they passed on it, I

42
00:01:57,200 --> 00:01:58,520
Speaker 1: think is a story in and of itself.

43
00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:03,840
Speaker 2: Scott mm hmm. I mean that's fair enough. All right.

44
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:08,560
Speaker 1: Now let's move over to these resolutions. Counselman Ryan James,

45
00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:11,920
Speaker 1: I guess the newest member, along with I believe Anna Albie,

46
00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:14,640
Speaker 1: were behind I think to a certain degree, Mark Jefferies

47
00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:20,600
Speaker 1: as well. Two separate proposals to deal with immigrants immigrants

48
00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:23,800
Speaker 1: facing deportation, which you know my listening audience would probably

49
00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:27,000
Speaker 1: suggest illegal immigrants. If they face deportation, then there's no

50
00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:29,120
Speaker 1: there's not a lawful basis for them being here. But

51
00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:32,920
Speaker 1: I guess since you just mentioned you talk to residents

52
00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:35,639
Speaker 1: that will be I suppose members of the residents of

53
00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:39,280
Speaker 1: the various fifty two communities. I thought we didn't have

54
00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:41,160
Speaker 1: any money. I thought they were trying to close a

55
00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:44,239
Speaker 1: budget hole. And in times when they're closing a budget hole,

56
00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:45,760
Speaker 1: they need to either cut or they need to find

57
00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:48,680
Speaker 1: other sources of revenue. They are talking about increasing the

58
00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:51,799
Speaker 1: income tax downtown. Don't think that's a good marketing tool

59
00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:55,200
Speaker 1: for getting people in. But if they need to raise

60
00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:57,320
Speaker 1: income taxes in order to plug the hole for what

61
00:02:57,360 --> 00:03:01,000
Speaker 1: they're promising already, is it even appropriate to start discussing

62
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:06,080
Speaker 1: about expanding and providing resources money and otherwise legal fees

63
00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:08,679
Speaker 1: as well for immigrants. What are the people in the

64
00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:11,160
Speaker 1: fifty two communities the residents say about something like that.

65
00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:17,040
Speaker 2: Well, I have not on this issue, specifically, on the

66
00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:20,480
Speaker 2: immigration proposals, I've not had it because they were just

67
00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:22,480
Speaker 2: introduced this week. I have not had a chance to

68
00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:26,320
Speaker 2: do any comprehensive polling on that. The city council has

69
00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:31,360
Speaker 2: had residents come to them wanting them to do something,

70
00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:36,480
Speaker 2: take some action against ICE enforcement, and this is kind

71
00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:40,080
Speaker 2: of a response to the concerns that they've heard in

72
00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:41,279
Speaker 2: council meetings.

73
00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:46,000
Speaker 1: All right, Well, of course, city resources are not obligated

74
00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:48,160
Speaker 1: to and there's no obligation for anybody in the city

75
00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:52,400
Speaker 1: government or even law enforcement to assist ICE in its

76
00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:55,640
Speaker 1: federal law enforcement efforts. I get that, But then there's

77
00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:59,400
Speaker 1: resisting ICE and also helping people avoid ice, which seems

78
00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:01,760
Speaker 1: to be a big, maybe a broader problem. But in

79
00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:06,160
Speaker 1: a budget situation where there's very limited resources and not

80
00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:08,520
Speaker 1: a lot of flexibility, I mean, I'm just looking at

81
00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:12,280
Speaker 1: the idea of providing free legal assistance. So one of

82
00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:14,400
Speaker 1: the motions that actually passed, I think it was unanimously.

83
00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:18,280
Speaker 1: You reported on it. These access to Council group. They

84
00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:20,440
Speaker 1: apparently have allocated two hundred and ten thousand dollars to

85
00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:22,279
Speaker 1: go to this group, which is described as providing free

86
00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:26,800
Speaker 1: legal representation for those facing eviction. If this group is

87
00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:29,479
Speaker 1: providing free legal representation, as a lawyer, I kind of

88
00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:32,000
Speaker 1: read that as pro bono. Pro Bono means there's no

89
00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:34,320
Speaker 1: billable hours. So why would any money need to be

90
00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:36,840
Speaker 1: allocated to a group that's providing free legal assistance in

91
00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:38,040
Speaker 1: the first instance.

92
00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:44,040
Speaker 2: And that group is my understanding, that's going towards like tenants,

93
00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:47,160
Speaker 2: that's not that one's not immigration. There's the one that's immigration.

94
00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:49,880
Speaker 2: It's two hundred and ten thousand. That's to the Immigrant

95
00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:55,040
Speaker 2: and Law Refugee Center. They didn't return my calls the center.

96
00:04:55,200 --> 00:05:01,320
Speaker 2: They said they don't do media interviews. But the part

97
00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:05,520
Speaker 2: of that will go towards because they do represent people

98
00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:07,960
Speaker 2: facing deportation. Part of it will go to that, some

99
00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:12,200
Speaker 2: of it will go to some assistance to their families

100
00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:16,800
Speaker 2: and families in the immigrant community. I mean, it's a

101
00:05:16,839 --> 00:05:19,680
Speaker 2: valid question on where cities should be, where the city

102
00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:22,400
Speaker 2: should be spending the money. Ye, my understanding is this

103
00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:26,120
Speaker 2: is part of money that wasn't spent last year. It's

104
00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:30,400
Speaker 2: this carryover budget, which is a technical it's long game.

105
00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:34,600
Speaker 2: It's still city money. But right now they're hashing out

106
00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:38,120
Speaker 2: what to do with this money that wasn't spent last year.

107
00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:43,280
Speaker 2: And this is based on what they had heard from

108
00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:45,680
Speaker 2: residents in the community, like we need you to take

109
00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:50,360
Speaker 2: a stand against ice. This has been their response to it.

110
00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:52,720
Speaker 1: Well, it makes me kind of question the percentage of

111
00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:55,240
Speaker 1: people in the community that actually view this as a priority.

112
00:05:55,279 --> 00:05:56,960
Speaker 1: Why not just put leave the money in the general

113
00:05:56,960 --> 00:05:59,480
Speaker 1: fund to help address the outstanding budget definite that we're

114
00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:02,000
Speaker 1: dealing with. That's the logical response from Brian Thomas. But

115
00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:05,840
Speaker 1: is this really an issue that people are clamoring for

116
00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:08,760
Speaker 1: or is it just the squeaky wheels out there representing

117
00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:11,880
Speaker 1: a small slice of the population of the city that

118
00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:14,159
Speaker 1: are demanding this and they're just in the face of

119
00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:18,120
Speaker 1: everyone making it making the council people perceive this to

120
00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:20,800
Speaker 1: be a huge demand. I guess I struggle to find

121
00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:22,800
Speaker 1: where this actual demand is coming from.

122
00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:28,440
Speaker 2: Well, that is the always the big trick, big question

123
00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:31,560
Speaker 2: that you know, even I mean I struggle with when

124
00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:34,719
Speaker 2: I write these stories because what you hear online, what

125
00:06:34,839 --> 00:06:37,479
Speaker 2: you see at council meetings, could be different than what

126
00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:40,159
Speaker 2: you go. You know what you hear door the door.

127
00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:45,279
Speaker 2: I will say when I was talking to voters coming

128
00:06:45,320 --> 00:06:50,160
Speaker 2: out of the polls in Cincinnati for the city council

129
00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:53,239
Speaker 2: and the mayoral race, everyone I talked to, I maybe

130
00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:58,400
Speaker 2: talked to maybe twenty some voters the day of all

131
00:06:58,480 --> 00:07:04,440
Speaker 2: cited their pleasure at the Trump administration is why they

132
00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:08,440
Speaker 2: voted Democrats. So it does seem like these national issues,

133
00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:13,760
Speaker 2: particularly in the city, are driving a lot of voters.

134
00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:16,559
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I think that's a sad commentary on the city.

135
00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:19,400
Speaker 1: They have so much on their plate as it relates

136
00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:22,400
Speaker 1: to actual matters over which they have control, and yet

137
00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:24,640
Speaker 1: you know, we find them building solar farms because they

138
00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:26,600
Speaker 1: think the City of Cincinnati's a mission is somehow going

139
00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:29,440
Speaker 1: to impact the global emissions, and we know that to

140
00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:33,720
Speaker 1: be just impossible. So fair to allocate resources properly, I

141
00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:37,640
Speaker 1: think is an ongoing problem. That's again from the subjective

142
00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:41,600
Speaker 1: opinion of Brian Thomas. Did you see Todd Zinzer's report

143
00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:43,480
Speaker 1: on the railroad money and how they're just stuffing the

144
00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:46,360
Speaker 1: railroad money into a general fund to earn interest that's

145
00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:49,200
Speaker 1: going into the general fund, which suggests maybe they're going

146
00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:51,680
Speaker 1: to use that money for things that aren't related to

147
00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:55,800
Speaker 1: existing infrastructure. Scott Ortman, I.

148
00:07:55,840 --> 00:07:58,000
Speaker 2: Have I haven't had a chance to look into that yet.

149
00:07:58,120 --> 00:08:01,040
Speaker 2: I mean by understanding, they can not do that. It

150
00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:04,760
Speaker 2: has to go to existing infrastructure. I do know they're

151
00:08:04,760 --> 00:08:08,360
Speaker 2: having trouble right now spending all that money coming in

152
00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:11,560
Speaker 2: faster than they can get it out the door. I

153
00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:14,320
Speaker 2: have not seen any concrete proposal to use it for

154
00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:17,800
Speaker 2: anything other than you know, what it was intended for.

155
00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:20,640
Speaker 2: If that does happen, I mean, that's going to create

156
00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:26,360
Speaker 2: a huge political fight. Yeah, because the the it was

157
00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:28,920
Speaker 2: clear in the legislation it can only be used for

158
00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:33,560
Speaker 2: roads or like existing like buildings like you know, rec centers, whatever.

159
00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:37,400
Speaker 2: They can't use it to build like new things like

160
00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:38,960
Speaker 2: an arena or anything like that.

161
00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:41,480
Speaker 1: Right, Well, that's the way it was supposed to. But

162
00:08:41,520 --> 00:08:44,240
Speaker 1: I think everyone, including me, was raising concerns early on

163
00:08:44,280 --> 00:08:46,559
Speaker 1: that they're going to play fast and loose with what

164
00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:50,760
Speaker 1: existing infrastructure means. But once you've removed it the money

165
00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:53,240
Speaker 1: from the control of the board, the Railroad Board which

166
00:08:53,320 --> 00:08:56,560
Speaker 1: makes these allocations, it then lands in the lap of council.

167
00:08:57,240 --> 00:08:59,800
Speaker 1: As Zin's are reported. You know, they've only spent like

168
00:08:59,840 --> 00:09:02,520
Speaker 1: a small percentage of the actual money. They've got the

169
00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:04,520
Speaker 1: rest of the multiple millions of dollars of sitting in

170
00:09:04,520 --> 00:09:07,200
Speaker 1: this account. And wait a second, we've got four to

171
00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:13,559
Speaker 1: five hundred million dollars in behind infrastructure needs, roads and

172
00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:16,800
Speaker 1: bridges and existing infrastructure. All these projects are so far behind,

173
00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:19,640
Speaker 1: and they keep getting further and further behind. Isn't that

174
00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:22,160
Speaker 1: right there in and of itself, what the money's designed for?

175
00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:25,040
Speaker 1: And why aren't they pushing harder to get those existing

176
00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:27,400
Speaker 1: projects done? They already know they exist.

177
00:09:27,559 --> 00:09:32,079
Speaker 2: Scott, Yeah, Well, from what everyone's told me when I've

178
00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:35,560
Speaker 2: talked to them about the railroad fence being council members,

179
00:09:35,679 --> 00:09:38,360
Speaker 2: they want to use for existing infrastructure. So I mean,

180
00:09:38,400 --> 00:09:41,240
Speaker 2: I haven't had again a chance to verify whether it's

181
00:09:41,280 --> 00:09:43,560
Speaker 2: going to be used for something else. I've not, you know,

182
00:09:43,720 --> 00:09:50,800
Speaker 2: independently heard that. But if it isn't used for what

183
00:09:50,920 --> 00:09:52,960
Speaker 2: was intended, I would imagine there would be some legal

184
00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:55,520
Speaker 2: challenges for that. So there are plenty of people in

185
00:09:55,559 --> 00:09:59,120
Speaker 2: the community that would be willing to file something to

186
00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:00,680
Speaker 2: raise an object that.

187
00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:03,520
Speaker 1: Scott Warton from the Sinceana Enquirer something tells me and

188
00:10:03,559 --> 00:10:05,880
Speaker 1: are just chuckling about that they've already drafted the complaint.

189
00:10:06,440 --> 00:10:08,640
Speaker 1: It's just waiting for the moment to file it properly

190
00:10:09,160 --> 00:10:11,080
Speaker 1: and let me at least pivot over real quick. You

191
00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:14,600
Speaker 1: probably are familiar with the person known as Signal ninety

192
00:10:14,679 --> 00:10:17,680
Speaker 1: nine and her reporting on things relating to crime in

193
00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:20,040
Speaker 1: downtown since saying she's gonna be on my program tomorrow.

194
00:10:20,040 --> 00:10:22,840
Speaker 1: But she just reported yesterday that they have created a

195
00:10:22,840 --> 00:10:26,600
Speaker 1: new violence reduction manager in the city. Manager Sherry Long

196
00:10:26,679 --> 00:10:30,480
Speaker 1: has promoted a woman named Kate Bell, who, by all

197
00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:32,800
Speaker 1: accounts at least from Signal niney nine reporting, has basically

198
00:10:32,880 --> 00:10:35,200
Speaker 1: a communications degree and a graphic design degree. And she

199
00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:38,840
Speaker 1: is asking out loud, wait a second, there's no law

200
00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:41,160
Speaker 1: enforcement background here. What in the hell is a violence

201
00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:43,520
Speaker 1: reduction manager? Shouldn't have something to do with law enforcement

202
00:10:43,520 --> 00:10:46,959
Speaker 1: by way of training? And was the job posted? Were

203
00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:50,320
Speaker 1: their qualifications? Listen, there's so many swirling questions about this,

204
00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:54,600
Speaker 1: but here we go. Do you know anything about Kate

205
00:10:54,679 --> 00:10:57,720
Speaker 1: Bell or the violence reduction manager position that was just created?

206
00:10:58,840 --> 00:11:03,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, I saw that. I do know, and this predates

207
00:11:03,040 --> 00:11:07,000
Speaker 2: my time covering the city beat. It has existed for

208
00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:10,320
Speaker 2: at least the last two years. There were, because when

209
00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:13,360
Speaker 2: I saw that post, I looked into you know, what's

210
00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:16,240
Speaker 2: previously been reported on it. There have been at least

211
00:11:16,240 --> 00:11:21,080
Speaker 2: two other violence reduction managers in the last like two

212
00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:25,079
Speaker 2: or three years, So it's not an entirely new position evidently,

213
00:11:25,679 --> 00:11:28,160
Speaker 2: but it's something I'll have to look into. I don't

214
00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:33,600
Speaker 2: know like exactly when that was created and what that

215
00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:35,960
Speaker 2: person's supposed to do precisely.

216
00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:38,800
Speaker 1: Okay, Well, we in the community are really hoping that

217
00:11:38,840 --> 00:11:41,320
Speaker 1: you do that reporting because it's swirling mystery and there's

218
00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:43,960
Speaker 1: obviously a whole lot of questions around this, And clearly

219
00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:46,320
Speaker 1: we have a problem with violence in downtown Cincinnati, and

220
00:11:46,400 --> 00:11:48,840
Speaker 1: I know they've been struggling to address it. What's the

221
00:11:48,920 --> 00:11:51,319
Speaker 1: job role, what's the description? If this position has been

222
00:11:51,320 --> 00:11:55,120
Speaker 1: around for a while, what did it accomplish previously? Great

223
00:11:55,200 --> 00:11:57,640
Speaker 1: questions to ask, and thankfully we have Scott Wartman at

224
00:11:57,720 --> 00:11:59,880
Speaker 1: least to look into it. You can find Scott and

225
00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:02,880
Speaker 1: since I inquire online at Cincinnati dot com, recommend you

226
00:12:02,960 --> 00:12:04,760
Speaker 1: check them out. And Scott, I'm glad we've got you

227
00:12:04,800 --> 00:12:07,080
Speaker 1: out there. I really I weep for the future of

228
00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:09,360
Speaker 1: the world where we don't have really good, you know,

229
00:12:09,520 --> 00:12:12,439
Speaker 1: quality local reporting, I mean, local reporting is going the

230
00:12:12,440 --> 00:12:14,679
Speaker 1: way of the DODO in an Internet world. So keep

231
00:12:14,760 --> 00:12:17,000
Speaker 1: up the work and keep and keep asking the questions

232
00:12:17,040 --> 00:12:20,040
Speaker 1: we sure have the are sure are waiting for the answer. Scott.

233
00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:23,960
Speaker 2: I really appreciate that, and I feel privileged to be

234
00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:24,960
Speaker 2: able to do this work.

235
00:12:25,040 --> 00:12:26,600
