1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,200
Speaker 1: Notably since we crashed yesterday. So what's the story here?

2
00:00:03,240 --> 00:00:05,680
Speaker 1: I've got voter IDs on the list of topics to

3
00:00:05,720 --> 00:00:07,840
Speaker 1: talk about with you, Corey Buwman, what's this all about?

4
00:00:09,600 --> 00:00:13,320
Speaker 2: Well? Yeah, so nationally we're seeing that. You know, for one,

5
00:00:13,520 --> 00:00:15,000
Speaker 2: I'm so mad that you eight up my time.

6
00:00:15,040 --> 00:00:17,759
Speaker 3: I think I'm gonna hang up on you too, So

7
00:00:18,280 --> 00:00:20,600
Speaker 3: I'm just.

8
00:00:21,640 --> 00:00:22,239
Speaker 2: Yeah, right.

9
00:00:23,960 --> 00:00:27,040
Speaker 3: For some reason, whenever I heard everything going on yesterday,

10
00:00:27,040 --> 00:00:29,160
Speaker 3: I know it's gonna be off topic here, but I'm

11
00:00:29,160 --> 00:00:31,600
Speaker 3: thinking out of all people who hangs up on the

12
00:00:31,800 --> 00:00:35,800
Speaker 3: Brian Thomas like one of the most open and awesome

13
00:00:35,840 --> 00:00:37,400
Speaker 3: guys on the radio here.

14
00:00:37,320 --> 00:00:39,279
Speaker 2: So you'll never have me.

15
00:00:39,320 --> 00:00:41,800
Speaker 3: Hang up unless I'm losing reception because I didn't pay

16
00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:42,680
Speaker 3: my bill or something.

17
00:00:45,320 --> 00:00:48,440
Speaker 1: But I think there's a government handout to keep that

18
00:00:48,520 --> 00:00:50,919
Speaker 1: cell phone bill paid if you want to look for it.

19
00:00:51,159 --> 00:00:55,320
Speaker 3: Yeah right, But you know we're talking about, uh, you

20
00:00:55,360 --> 00:00:58,160
Speaker 3: know a lot nationally when it comes to the Save Act,

21
00:00:58,760 --> 00:01:02,080
Speaker 3: and a lot of people are arguing what it comes

22
00:01:02,120 --> 00:01:04,840
Speaker 3: down to when it comes to voter ID. I do

23
00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:06,560
Speaker 3: want to say this. I've talked with a lot of

24
00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:09,160
Speaker 3: people downtown, a lot of people, and where we are

25
00:01:09,440 --> 00:01:09,880
Speaker 3: and when.

26
00:01:09,720 --> 00:01:12,360
Speaker 2: You ask them just a simple question. You don't start off.

27
00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:15,480
Speaker 3: The conversation with Republican or Democrat, but hey, does it

28
00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:19,200
Speaker 3: make sense to present an ID whenever you're voting. The

29
00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:22,839
Speaker 3: majority of people that you talk to agree, yeah, that.

30
00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:25,120
Speaker 2: Makes sense to present an ID. You have to present

31
00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:25,800
Speaker 2: an idea if.

32
00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:30,360
Speaker 3: You buyopack cigarettes or alcohol or anything else. And there's

33
00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:32,800
Speaker 3: not a lot of opposition to that in the areas

34
00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:34,679
Speaker 3: now I'm in, So I just kind of want started

35
00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:36,119
Speaker 3: with that and then.

36
00:01:36,440 --> 00:01:39,039
Speaker 2: You know, for me, I'm always wanting to bring it locally.

37
00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:42,360
Speaker 3: Locally, we have elections and I've been talking with a

38
00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:45,920
Speaker 3: lot of people and we just got past the dates

39
00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:49,120
Speaker 3: for people to sign up for precinct executives. A lot

40
00:01:49,160 --> 00:01:51,400
Speaker 3: of people don't know what that is, but basically we

41
00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:54,800
Speaker 3: have over five hundred precincts in Hamilton County and how

42
00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:57,400
Speaker 3: these elections works. Each precinct, you know, has a certain

43
00:01:57,440 --> 00:01:59,520
Speaker 3: amount of people that you go to polling stations in

44
00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:02,200
Speaker 3: those pre say to vote. And I think that that's

45
00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:04,920
Speaker 3: something that even starting off at the beginning of this year,

46
00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:07,880
Speaker 3: we've got to focus on when it comes to organizing

47
00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:10,840
Speaker 3: and about the issues that we care about to make

48
00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:12,960
Speaker 3: sure that we get ahead of it, not just for

49
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:16,480
Speaker 3: the May fifth primaries, but obviously for the general elections

50
00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:17,720
Speaker 3: coming in November.

51
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:23,079
Speaker 1: Fair enough. Well, I know that's an overwhelmingly in favor

52
00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:25,080
Speaker 1: of issue, and it makes perfect sense. And if you

53
00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:28,320
Speaker 1: have a real ID you got from the DMV, you've

54
00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:30,520
Speaker 1: already gone through the whole process with whatever you need

55
00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:32,280
Speaker 1: to get a real idea, the bursting and everything, and

56
00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:34,160
Speaker 1: that qualifies you to vote in federal elections in and

57
00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:35,680
Speaker 1: of itself. So I don't see so much of a

58
00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:37,280
Speaker 1: challenge anyhow.

59
00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:39,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, I mean, you know how we ran the

60
00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:40,200
Speaker 2: mayor race.

61
00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:43,440
Speaker 3: I wasn't trying to get involved in national politics because

62
00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:46,320
Speaker 3: there's so many city issues that people care about, but

63
00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:48,680
Speaker 3: I just felt like I needed to at least express

64
00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:51,520
Speaker 3: from my perspective. You know, we pastor in the inner city.

65
00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:54,000
Speaker 3: We have coffe shop here, we talk to people on streets,

66
00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:57,720
Speaker 3: and no matter what it's said in the media, people

67
00:02:57,760 --> 00:03:01,120
Speaker 3: think that it's common sense to show an ID for voting,

68
00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:03,959
Speaker 3: and so a lot of that just kind of gets

69
00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:08,400
Speaker 3: clouded by the arguments of Republicans versus Democrat and even

70
00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:11,600
Speaker 3: our own representative, Greg Wims then he vote against sitting.

71
00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:14,959
Speaker 2: Yeah, and that's kind of disenfranchised voters. But the people

72
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:17,360
Speaker 2: that we're talking to downtown and the inter city, they

73
00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:18,400
Speaker 2: don't feel that way.

74
00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:22,080
Speaker 1: Now, I'm sure they don't because it's something they probably

75
00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:23,960
Speaker 1: use almost on a day to day basis in their

76
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:25,720
Speaker 1: real lives. What's the big deal I got to use

77
00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:27,160
Speaker 1: I got to pull that photo idea out for a

78
00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:29,280
Speaker 1: multitude of things. So a big deal with the voting

79
00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:31,120
Speaker 1: and actually makes sense because the integrity it will be

80
00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:34,440
Speaker 1: upheld and you know, flip it on its head. How

81
00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:37,840
Speaker 1: would the world react if this was a Republican issue

82
00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:41,400
Speaker 1: and that Republicans were going around championing this, you know,

83
00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:44,119
Speaker 1: just make an attestation that you are who you say

84
00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:45,600
Speaker 1: you are. We're not going to check it or back

85
00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:48,240
Speaker 1: it up. We're not gonna do any vetting. We're just gonna, oh, okay,

86
00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:51,160
Speaker 1: accept you at your word and let you vote. I mean,

87
00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:54,920
Speaker 1: the Democrats would be pulling their hair out. Maybe it's

88
00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:57,640
Speaker 1: the reason they really don't truly enjoy a majority opinion

89
00:03:57,640 --> 00:03:59,080
Speaker 1: of this country, and that's why they want to be

90
00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:00,800
Speaker 1: able to make it easy to when voting.

91
00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:02,160
Speaker 2: Maybe there's that.

92
00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:06,640
Speaker 3: No, that's but also one of the biggest things is

93
00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:08,240
Speaker 3: not just to have opinions about.

94
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:09,920
Speaker 2: All these issues, but get involved locally.

95
00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:12,680
Speaker 3: You know, I'm in the area that I'm in. I

96
00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:16,359
Speaker 3: actually have a friend that I've met recently and we

97
00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:18,840
Speaker 3: talk on the streets just because we're neighbors. But then

98
00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:21,400
Speaker 3: I find out that he's been a part of an

99
00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:25,880
Speaker 3: organization that's been recruiting people to be precinct executives for

100
00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:28,880
Speaker 3: the Democratic Party. And he said that they recruited I

101
00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:32,320
Speaker 3: think over one hundred and ninety seven I think people

102
00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:36,120
Speaker 3: to be precinct executives for the Democratic Party in the city. Now,

103
00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:37,839
Speaker 3: this is a common sense guy.

104
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:40,200
Speaker 2: And so I looked at it and said, well, it's okay.

105
00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:43,240
Speaker 3: It's okay for us to have these conversations about different

106
00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:45,920
Speaker 3: issues because we were talking about the race. And then

107
00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:48,719
Speaker 3: I said, hey, just let me ask you, as a Democrat,

108
00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:51,520
Speaker 3: how do you feel about what's going on with the

109
00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:53,359
Speaker 3: city as far as the city hall government.

110
00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:56,600
Speaker 2: He said, We're very frustrated. He said, we're very frustrated

111
00:04:56,640 --> 00:04:57,080
Speaker 2: because for.

112
00:04:57,160 --> 00:04:59,359
Speaker 3: Us, you know, we they had an issue with a

113
00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:01,719
Speaker 3: street clean that they were trying to get resolved and

114
00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:04,000
Speaker 3: it was backed up for months and months at a time.

115
00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:07,839
Speaker 2: Talking about the snowplower moval and everything going on, and

116
00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:08,200
Speaker 2: then we.

117
00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:11,239
Speaker 3: Started talking about, you know, the safety and public safety,

118
00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:14,560
Speaker 3: and that's a huge issue on both sides, and they're

119
00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:16,920
Speaker 3: not very happy with how things have been dealt with

120
00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:19,360
Speaker 3: in the West End. And so the more you talk

121
00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:22,160
Speaker 3: to people, you realize that these common sense issues are

122
00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:23,520
Speaker 3: important across the aisle.

123
00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:26,680
Speaker 2: And then but this other side is.

124
00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:29,720
Speaker 3: Fairly more organized when it comes to recruiting and getting

125
00:05:29,760 --> 00:05:32,480
Speaker 3: involved locally in the city, and I think that's something

126
00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:34,479
Speaker 3: that we have to change. We have to encourage people

127
00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:37,600
Speaker 3: get involved locally. Don't just you know, complain and then

128
00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:39,880
Speaker 3: move out when it doesn't work out. You know, we

129
00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:43,000
Speaker 3: have elections this year, we have elections every year and

130
00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:46,599
Speaker 3: important issues on the ballot constantly. I don't think that's

131
00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:48,640
Speaker 3: something to just give up on the city for. It's

132
00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:50,600
Speaker 3: something that we've got to get involved in locally.

133
00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:54,080
Speaker 1: Well, is this a top down effort on the part

134
00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:56,440
Speaker 1: of the Democrats that they have a measure of control

135
00:05:56,520 --> 00:06:00,000
Speaker 1: and organization over the Democrat Party within the city of Cincinnati.

136
00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:02,720
Speaker 1: Maybe is lacking on the Republican side of the ledger

137
00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:03,560
Speaker 1: Cory Bowman.

138
00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:08,760
Speaker 3: To somewhat, But also, you know, the organization a lot

139
00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:11,960
Speaker 3: of times comes because you know, there's just they're more

140
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:17,560
Speaker 3: involved just overall, the party locally is more more involved

141
00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:21,039
Speaker 3: when it comes to organizing precinct executives. Because the guy

142
00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:24,400
Speaker 3: that I spoke to, he isn't like from the top

143
00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:26,080
Speaker 3: down on the Democratic Party.

144
00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:27,760
Speaker 2: He's part of a separate organization.

145
00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:31,559
Speaker 3: But they're coming out to try to recruit because there's

146
00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:34,039
Speaker 3: issues they care about that they don't feel like has

147
00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:37,000
Speaker 3: been representing them. Right, So I think that's a huge thing.

148
00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:38,320
Speaker 3: We got to take note of this.

149
00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:40,480
Speaker 2: You know, I even talk to our Secretary of State,

150
00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:42,200
Speaker 2: you know, during the.

151
00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:45,280
Speaker 3: Election whenever I saw the primary, and I just said that,

152
00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:48,400
Speaker 3: you know, when you see the numbers coming out in

153
00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:51,960
Speaker 3: the city, but also it's only a thirty percent turnout,

154
00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:54,280
Speaker 3: so there's a lot of potential voters that just don't

155
00:06:54,279 --> 00:06:56,400
Speaker 3: turn out. So we've got to get better at this

156
00:06:56,839 --> 00:06:59,359
Speaker 3: because I don't believe this is a Hey, we just

157
00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:03,200
Speaker 3: need to make these lines even more solid to where

158
00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:06,159
Speaker 3: these are Democrat areas, these are Republican areas. I think

159
00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:10,280
Speaker 3: that diversity of thought and opinion is what needs to

160
00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:13,480
Speaker 3: be the backbone of all these elections, and we need to,

161
00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:16,320
Speaker 3: you know, continue that, we need to continue.

162
00:07:15,960 --> 00:07:17,160
Speaker 2: To put our voices forward.

163
00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:19,240
Speaker 3: I mean, you've had Signal ninety nine on, You've had

164
00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:22,400
Speaker 3: a lot of you know, Todd Zenzer and a lot

165
00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:26,559
Speaker 3: of these voices that are on. They're bringing out these

166
00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:31,160
Speaker 3: issues that continually need to be put out and that

167
00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:33,560
Speaker 3: that conversation is so vital in our city.

168
00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:36,840
Speaker 1: It really is. And that's why I love having you on, Corey,

169
00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:39,800
Speaker 1: because you continue this conversation, remind people that you know,

170
00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:41,880
Speaker 1: it's possible for you to maybe make a change. You

171
00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:44,200
Speaker 1: just got to get involved. So to the extent we

172
00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:46,440
Speaker 1: have a top down structure with regard to conservative politic

173
00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:47,880
Speaker 1: in the city of City of Cincinnati. I'm going to

174
00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:50,360
Speaker 1: annoint you at least for the time being, and we're

175
00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:53,040
Speaker 1: going to continue with Corey Bowman on other city related issues.

176
00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:54,120
Speaker 2: See the talk station.

177
00:07:56,240 --> 00:07:58,360
Speaker 1: It's seven nineteen if you've got ker City talk station.

178
00:07:58,440 --> 00:08:01,600
Speaker 1: Happy Friday after the top of hour News eight oh

179
00:08:01,640 --> 00:08:04,640
Speaker 1: five with Marcel Sturbis. Mister Sturbrig's gonna be in studio

180
00:08:04,760 --> 00:08:07,000
Speaker 1: talk about why he is running for Secretary of State

181
00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:09,360
Speaker 1: and of course hopefully he won't have a meltdown and

182
00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:12,480
Speaker 1: start cursing into the microphone. I stump button to work

183
00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:14,080
Speaker 1: on him too, But now I don't think that's gonna

184
00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:17,160
Speaker 1: happen with Marcel Jack Winsor. At eight thirty. In the meantime,

185
00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:20,040
Speaker 1: Corey Bowman, I was, do you know.

186
00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:22,880
Speaker 2: That's it?

187
00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:29,360
Speaker 1: I don't. Democrats are certainly more organized when it comes

188
00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:34,319
Speaker 1: to voting, and within the city Cincinnati. I know, the

189
00:08:34,400 --> 00:08:36,640
Speaker 1: voter turnout you already mentioned in the last star was terrible.

190
00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:39,240
Speaker 1: I just it was so broken hearted that the issues

191
00:08:39,280 --> 00:08:41,760
Speaker 1: that we were talking about in advance to the November election.

192
00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:45,160
Speaker 1: I guess we're ignored by the voters weren't taken seriously.

193
00:08:45,679 --> 00:08:47,599
Speaker 1: I mean the whole zoning thing with Hyde Park, and

194
00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:50,120
Speaker 1: now I realized that they effectively got since a counselor

195
00:08:50,280 --> 00:08:52,480
Speaker 1: listened to them and they pulled the plans for Hyde Park.

196
00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:54,400
Speaker 1: But we had the whole bond Hill thing, and I

197
00:08:54,400 --> 00:08:55,839
Speaker 1: don't know if that got undone. But there were a

198
00:08:55,840 --> 00:08:58,079
Speaker 1: lot of reasons for people to come out, and they

199
00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:02,080
Speaker 1: just didn't. And I suppose are there are Republicans not

200
00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:05,200
Speaker 1: registered in the city, Corey Bowman. Clearly, if they are,

201
00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:08,160
Speaker 1: they didn't show up. But I'm just wondering does the

202
00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:10,280
Speaker 1: Republicans that live in the city of Cincinnati to the

203
00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:11,920
Speaker 1: extent there are any do they just think it's not

204
00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:14,760
Speaker 1: even worth their while registering what's the problem here, Corey Bowmen,

205
00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:18,360
Speaker 1: if you could break it down or if you even know, Yeah,

206
00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:19,079
Speaker 1: so I think.

207
00:09:18,920 --> 00:09:22,120
Speaker 3: That this is, you know, just a combination of everything.

208
00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:24,240
Speaker 3: It was just a lot of different issues all at once.

209
00:09:24,280 --> 00:09:28,040
Speaker 3: You know, I've mentioned before the precinct executives. Basically what

210
00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:30,240
Speaker 3: this is that you have over five hundred precincts in

211
00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:31,080
Speaker 3: Hamilton County.

212
00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:34,480
Speaker 2: Put somebody over each precinct, and then they're in charge

213
00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:35,839
Speaker 2: of kind of rowling.

214
00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:38,240
Speaker 3: That small group of people to be able to say, hey,

215
00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:40,720
Speaker 3: let's find the Republicans in this area, or let's find

216
00:09:40,760 --> 00:09:44,560
Speaker 3: the affiliates and just you know, talk about these issues

217
00:09:44,600 --> 00:09:46,520
Speaker 3: and try to get people to come out and vote.

218
00:09:46,679 --> 00:09:50,160
Speaker 2: That's something that in the cities that the Democrats are

219
00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:51,440
Speaker 2: very organized on.

220
00:09:51,640 --> 00:09:53,560
Speaker 3: You know, I believe that we need to kind of

221
00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:57,479
Speaker 3: just recognize the flaws and recognize the things that we see.

222
00:09:57,240 --> 00:10:00,000
Speaker 1: That's more organized within the party along the party struture

223
00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:03,000
Speaker 1: you just talk about with these different committees. But also

224
00:10:03,559 --> 00:10:05,640
Speaker 1: we've been made aware of and I do believe that

225
00:10:05,640 --> 00:10:07,520
Speaker 1: it's true a lot of the money the city hands

226
00:10:07,559 --> 00:10:10,920
Speaker 1: out to non governmental organizations, goes to very left leaning,

227
00:10:11,040 --> 00:10:14,800
Speaker 1: already well organized NGOs that have a very powerful voice

228
00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:17,160
Speaker 1: as they're going around doing their NGO work in the

229
00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:21,199
Speaker 1: community to spread that left wing political message, so that

230
00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:23,200
Speaker 1: that in and of itself comes built into the package

231
00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:24,800
Speaker 1: when they hire one of these groups, doesn't it.

232
00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:28,960
Speaker 3: No, you're actually you're absolutely right, and there's actually something

233
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:31,640
Speaker 3: that we need to address too, and that that comes

234
00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:34,960
Speaker 3: down to the polling stations, because you know, on election day,

235
00:10:35,080 --> 00:10:37,640
Speaker 3: you know, for me, we're in the West End, and

236
00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:40,640
Speaker 3: you know, whether this is just the Republicans need to

237
00:10:40,679 --> 00:10:42,680
Speaker 3: be more active in these areas as well, or we

238
00:10:42,760 --> 00:10:45,080
Speaker 3: need to kind of address this, but there's a lot

239
00:10:45,120 --> 00:10:47,199
Speaker 3: of government subsidized housing.

240
00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:48,960
Speaker 2: That is in the city.

241
00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:52,199
Speaker 3: And one thing I realized on the election day was

242
00:10:52,280 --> 00:10:55,280
Speaker 3: that the polling stations, a lot of these polling stations

243
00:10:55,280 --> 00:10:59,000
Speaker 3: on election day are in the lobbies of these housing.

244
00:10:58,559 --> 00:11:01,360
Speaker 2: Events, the lobbies of these housing units.

245
00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:04,960
Speaker 3: So people come, they come down and because a lot

246
00:11:04,960 --> 00:11:07,880
Speaker 3: of you know, Republican you know, representation or whatever won't

247
00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:10,600
Speaker 3: go in there or won't be in the lobby there,

248
00:11:11,160 --> 00:11:15,000
Speaker 3: there's a Democrat representative that hands them a blue slip

249
00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:18,880
Speaker 3: and this specific election. A hot topic was benefits and

250
00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:21,000
Speaker 3: staff benefits and everything, and.

251
00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:23,160
Speaker 2: So what every worker was told was that.

252
00:11:23,080 --> 00:11:25,480
Speaker 3: Hey, every person comes in, you give them the blue sheet,

253
00:11:25,520 --> 00:11:27,160
Speaker 3: you say vote blue, otherwise.

254
00:11:26,760 --> 00:11:28,119
Speaker 2: You're going to lose your benefits.

255
00:11:29,240 --> 00:11:32,280
Speaker 3: And that's just something to where you're guaranteed to have

256
00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:36,240
Speaker 3: thousands of votes right off the bat because the organization. Now,

257
00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:38,199
Speaker 3: you know, I'm in an area to where a lot

258
00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:42,280
Speaker 3: of people rely on these benefits and it's important aspect

259
00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:43,079
Speaker 3: of the community.

260
00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:45,520
Speaker 2: But at the same time, on the other side, if

261
00:11:45,520 --> 00:11:47,840
Speaker 2: we're to tell people, hey, we need to get people.

262
00:11:47,559 --> 00:11:50,760
Speaker 3: Off of government assistance, well you have to have substitutes.

263
00:11:50,840 --> 00:11:52,640
Speaker 3: You have to have programs in place to be able

264
00:11:52,640 --> 00:11:55,360
Speaker 3: to give people a leg up, offer jobs, offer things.

265
00:11:55,360 --> 00:11:57,560
Speaker 3: So there's a lot of different sides to each of

266
00:11:57,640 --> 00:11:58,679
Speaker 3: the coins.

267
00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:02,240
Speaker 1: Well, I guess you said they were handing out the

268
00:12:02,240 --> 00:12:05,800
Speaker 1: blue sheets. It's just there was no Republican counterpart there

269
00:12:05,800 --> 00:12:07,520
Speaker 1: doing the same thing with the pink slips.

270
00:12:08,160 --> 00:12:12,160
Speaker 2: They weren't barred from organizations. No, they're not barred.

271
00:12:12,200 --> 00:12:15,280
Speaker 3: So that's the thing that you know, I think like

272
00:12:15,320 --> 00:12:18,040
Speaker 3: when I said that, there's a lot of different aspects

273
00:12:18,080 --> 00:12:20,920
Speaker 3: of it. That is, one is that the organization of

274
00:12:20,960 --> 00:12:23,800
Speaker 3: the Republican Party. This isn't bad talking by the top.

275
00:12:23,840 --> 00:12:25,839
Speaker 3: It's just I want to encourage everybody that lives in

276
00:12:25,880 --> 00:12:29,400
Speaker 3: the city of Cincinnati get involved, because it takes volunteers,

277
00:12:29,400 --> 00:12:32,760
Speaker 3: it takes poll workers, it takes precinct executives, It takes

278
00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:35,160
Speaker 3: people on every precinct to be able to rally people

279
00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:37,360
Speaker 3: to get out and vote and talk about those issues.

280
00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:40,720
Speaker 1: Well. Any critical part of the upholding the integrity the vote,

281
00:12:40,760 --> 00:12:43,280
Speaker 1: beyond having a photo ID, which we need in Ohio,

282
00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:45,840
Speaker 1: is having people from both parties work in the polls.

283
00:12:45,840 --> 00:12:48,120
Speaker 1: It's why always applaud the poll workers, the folks that

284
00:12:48,120 --> 00:12:49,800
Speaker 1: are signing you in. You got to have Republicans and

285
00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:52,160
Speaker 1: Democrats there to resolve any problems that might crop up

286
00:12:52,559 --> 00:12:57,120
Speaker 1: with regard to improprieties. But moving outside of that component,

287
00:12:57,160 --> 00:13:00,319
Speaker 1: you need volunteers to spread the message and offer the

288
00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:02,640
Speaker 1: alternative by handing out pink slips in areas where they're

289
00:13:02,640 --> 00:13:04,800
Speaker 1: handing out blue slips. That should just go without saying.

290
00:13:04,840 --> 00:13:09,680
Speaker 1: But that's party organization, and you know, absently the party

291
00:13:09,840 --> 00:13:12,400
Speaker 1: sort of you know, taking the laboring or on spreading

292
00:13:12,440 --> 00:13:14,880
Speaker 1: the word that listen, there are only going to be

293
00:13:14,920 --> 00:13:17,960
Speaker 1: Democrats handing out blue slips unless we get some people

294
00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:21,440
Speaker 1: in there. You know, warning, wait, warning, please volunteer and

295
00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:23,319
Speaker 1: help us do this valuable important work.

296
00:13:25,160 --> 00:13:27,640
Speaker 3: No, you're absolutely right because for me, you know, we

297
00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:30,640
Speaker 3: ran a race last year and we're running as a candidate,

298
00:13:30,679 --> 00:13:32,079
Speaker 3: so we were focused on getting.

299
00:13:31,800 --> 00:13:32,760
Speaker 2: Our voice out there.

300
00:13:33,040 --> 00:13:35,400
Speaker 3: But the things I saw behind the scenes this year,

301
00:13:35,679 --> 00:13:38,319
Speaker 3: you know, I've spoken with the leadership of the party

302
00:13:38,640 --> 00:13:41,160
Speaker 3: and everything, and I want to be involved locally to help.

303
00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:44,400
Speaker 2: It's not just about back talking the top. There's a

304
00:13:44,440 --> 00:13:45,840
Speaker 2: lot of people that just do that.

305
00:13:45,960 --> 00:13:48,360
Speaker 3: I will say that a lot of people just simply

306
00:13:48,400 --> 00:13:49,880
Speaker 3: want to backtalk the top of.

307
00:13:49,840 --> 00:13:52,360
Speaker 2: The leadership instead of just getting involved.

308
00:13:52,360 --> 00:13:54,800
Speaker 3: And I would encourage people, instead of just doing that,

309
00:13:54,840 --> 00:13:57,440
Speaker 3: put your money where your mouth is and volunteer at

310
00:13:57,480 --> 00:14:01,680
Speaker 3: these poling stations because it's not just about organization.

311
00:14:02,080 --> 00:14:05,240
Speaker 2: It's about the numbers of people involved. The numbers of

312
00:14:05,280 --> 00:14:05,800
Speaker 2: people that.

313
00:14:05,760 --> 00:14:09,160
Speaker 3: Are actively involved on the other side are more and

314
00:14:09,200 --> 00:14:11,960
Speaker 3: so we've got to change that. And everything that they're

315
00:14:11,960 --> 00:14:14,720
Speaker 3: doing to get their votes is available to get you know,

316
00:14:14,920 --> 00:14:17,679
Speaker 3: on the Republicans side, as far as the organization, as

317
00:14:17,679 --> 00:14:20,800
Speaker 3: far as pink slips, as far as precinct executives as

318
00:14:20,840 --> 00:14:23,960
Speaker 3: far as the organization goes, we have every ability to

319
00:14:24,040 --> 00:14:26,680
Speaker 3: take advantage of those things as well, so we need

320
00:14:26,720 --> 00:14:28,880
Speaker 3: to do it. So this year for twenty six, you know,

321
00:14:28,920 --> 00:14:31,320
Speaker 3: there's a lot of key races going on and I'm

322
00:14:31,360 --> 00:14:33,560
Speaker 3: just doing my best to get the voice out there

323
00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:36,200
Speaker 3: on these issues to get people involved.

324
00:14:36,400 --> 00:14:38,360
Speaker 1: And Republicans are gonna have to laboring one doing this

325
00:14:38,400 --> 00:14:40,360
Speaker 1: because they don't have the financial leg up that our

326
00:14:40,400 --> 00:14:43,160
Speaker 1: taxpayer dollars going into city government have when they hand

327
00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:46,040
Speaker 1: out money to NGOs to help them campaign more with

328
00:14:46,120 --> 00:14:48,560
Speaker 1: Corey Bowman, Valet service coming over the line? Is it

329
00:14:48,560 --> 00:14:49,440

337
00:15:07,640 --> 00:15:09,240
Speaker 1: Strecker was telling me he was supposed to be over

Speaker 1: at seven to twenty five. Do you have to leave

339

Speaker 1: to take your kids to school man. If you do,

340
00:15:12,240 --> 00:15:14,640
Speaker 1: it's okay, No.

341
00:15:14,520 --> 00:15:16,560
Speaker 3: I could I can sigarette for a little bit longer,

342
00:15:16,640 --> 00:15:19,400
Speaker 3: for sure. I'm I'm just getting their lunch ready right now.

343
00:15:19,520 --> 00:15:21,680
Speaker 1: Okay, you go ahead and prepare the lunch. Is it

344
00:15:21,760 --> 00:15:25,520
Speaker 1: going into like a a Scooby Doo lunchbox with with

345
00:15:25,680 --> 00:15:26,680
Speaker 1: the old thermos in it?

346
00:15:26,760 --> 00:15:28,960
Speaker 2: There, Cory, We've got we've.

347
00:15:28,760 --> 00:15:32,000
Speaker 3: Got Minecraft lunch box, and then I've got a game

348
00:15:32,080 --> 00:15:33,040
Speaker 3: Boy lunchbox.

349
00:15:33,240 --> 00:15:35,720
Speaker 1: They're still out there the lunchbox, as I'm pleased to

350
00:15:35,800 --> 00:15:38,080
Speaker 1: hear that. Anyway, did you see the over the line?

351
00:15:38,120 --> 00:15:40,560
Speaker 1: Apparently three CDC is going to be offering a free

352
00:15:40,720 --> 00:15:43,000
Speaker 1: earth a ten dollars valet service. You drop your car

353
00:15:43,040 --> 00:15:44,760
Speaker 1: off in the thirteen hundred block of Vine. It will

354
00:15:44,760 --> 00:15:47,320
Speaker 1: take you anywhere in the city for ten bucks. Are

355
00:15:47,360 --> 00:15:49,440
Speaker 1: they offering this, sir? I guess they'll bring people to

356
00:15:49,560 --> 00:15:51,040
Speaker 1: the West End if you want to park there. Did

357
00:15:51,080 --> 00:15:53,040
Speaker 1: you see this and what's your reaction to this? It's

358
00:15:54,400 --> 00:15:56,880
Speaker 1: I don't trust that people maybe valet parking my car.

359
00:15:57,080 --> 00:16:01,640
Speaker 3: But anyway, well, I would say it's over If it's

360
00:16:01,760 --> 00:16:05,040
Speaker 3: overseen by three c DC, they'll make sure that it's trustworthy.

361
00:16:05,200 --> 00:16:08,440
Speaker 2: I definitely, you know, that for sure. As far as

362
00:16:08,520 --> 00:16:11,720
Speaker 2: coming over the West End, I haven't heard specifically anything

363
00:16:11,800 --> 00:16:12,000
Speaker 2: on that.

364
00:16:12,120 --> 00:16:14,560
Speaker 3: I've just heard it about the OTR so far, but

365
00:16:14,720 --> 00:16:16,160
Speaker 3: obviously they'll probably take.

366
00:16:16,080 --> 00:16:18,200
Speaker 2: People over to the west that is of how close

367
00:16:18,320 --> 00:16:19,640
Speaker 2: we are right across the street.

368
00:16:20,840 --> 00:16:23,680
Speaker 3: I mean, I think that as far as like transportation downtown,

369
00:16:24,200 --> 00:16:26,440
Speaker 3: you know, during the may oral race, a lot of

370
00:16:26,480 --> 00:16:30,080
Speaker 3: people are very passionate about public transportation in our city,

371
00:16:30,840 --> 00:16:33,280
Speaker 3: and I think that there's this kind of idea that

372
00:16:33,840 --> 00:16:37,520
Speaker 3: all Republicans are just against public transportation in the city.

373
00:16:37,680 --> 00:16:40,160
Speaker 2: Well, if you go to any major city in.

374
00:16:40,160 --> 00:16:42,800
Speaker 3: America, you need public transportation, you need ways to get

375
00:16:42,840 --> 00:16:44,960
Speaker 3: around because parking is a little bit more difficult for

376
00:16:45,080 --> 00:16:46,440
Speaker 3: people visiting, and.

377
00:16:46,520 --> 00:16:48,080
Speaker 2: So it's an important aspect of it.

378
00:16:48,200 --> 00:16:50,760
Speaker 3: But you know, I think that as far as the

379
00:16:50,840 --> 00:16:53,080
Speaker 3: valet service, it will probably help a lot of people.

380
00:16:53,560 --> 00:16:56,760
Speaker 2: The only thing that you know, I kind of see it.

381
00:16:56,840 --> 00:16:59,960
Speaker 3: As is that three CDC and a lot of organizations

382
00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:03,680
Speaker 3: like these have had to pick up responsibilities that I

383
00:17:03,880 --> 00:17:07,160
Speaker 3: see city services need to be responsible.

384
00:17:06,640 --> 00:17:09,240
Speaker 2: For as far as public safety or as far.

385
00:17:09,160 --> 00:17:12,840
Speaker 3: As maintenance of certain properties and everything like that. So

386
00:17:13,280 --> 00:17:15,600
Speaker 3: that's something that I was trying to push during the race.

387
00:17:15,760 --> 00:17:18,200
Speaker 3: Is that city services need to step up when it

388
00:17:18,280 --> 00:17:21,119
Speaker 3: comes to certain things, so not too much responsibility is

389
00:17:21,160 --> 00:17:24,280
Speaker 3: on these businesses downtown, all right.

390
00:17:24,240 --> 00:17:26,040
Speaker 1: And in one more issue I'm going to ask you about.

391
00:17:26,040 --> 00:17:29,119
Speaker 1: It was a meeting yesterday apparently since a Councilman Mark Jeffries,

392
00:17:29,160 --> 00:17:31,920
Speaker 1: along with members of the faith community, and the City

393
00:17:31,960 --> 00:17:35,960
Speaker 1: of Cincinnati have proposed the creation of a brand new fund,

394
00:17:36,080 --> 00:17:40,200
Speaker 1: the Harm to Hope Cannabis Reinvestment Fund, which they want

395
00:17:40,200 --> 00:17:42,560
Speaker 1: two and a half million dollars that the city receives

396
00:17:42,680 --> 00:17:46,320
Speaker 1: for the recreational marijuana tacks two and a half million

397
00:17:46,359 --> 00:17:49,800
Speaker 1: dollars to fund the activities of this new organization to

398
00:17:49,880 --> 00:17:54,320
Speaker 1: the extent it's created expungement, led abatement, youth employment, and

399
00:17:54,440 --> 00:17:58,159
Speaker 1: workforce development programs to be applied in neighborhoods affected by

400
00:17:58,400 --> 00:18:02,400
Speaker 1: past marijuana criminal penalties. They say they're going to create

401
00:18:02,440 --> 00:18:06,240
Speaker 1: a community Advisory Board to oversee the fund distribution. Another layer,

402
00:18:07,480 --> 00:18:09,119
Speaker 1: and then I guess, go out into the world and

403
00:18:09,160 --> 00:18:11,200
Speaker 1: do wonderful things. I thought we had a lot of

404
00:18:11,359 --> 00:18:14,160
Speaker 1: entities and organizations that already took care of these various

405
00:18:14,760 --> 00:18:17,080
Speaker 1: elements that they want to pay for with the marijuana

406
00:18:17,200 --> 00:18:19,320
Speaker 1: tacks have you. Do you know anything about this and

407
00:18:19,440 --> 00:18:20,399
Speaker 1: what's your reaction to it?

408
00:18:20,520 --> 00:18:25,560
Speaker 2: Corey Bowman, I think just broadly I would speak to

409
00:18:25,720 --> 00:18:26,640
Speaker 2: because you know, as.

410
00:18:26,560 --> 00:18:28,960
Speaker 3: Far as the organization, as far as the inner workings

411
00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:30,800
Speaker 3: of that, I have to do some more research to

412
00:18:30,880 --> 00:18:33,639
Speaker 3: make sure that you know, we're not speaking out a

413
00:18:33,680 --> 00:18:36,359
Speaker 3: turn here, But I will say this that it's kind

414
00:18:36,400 --> 00:18:38,200
Speaker 3: of the same language of a lot of things that

415
00:18:38,280 --> 00:18:43,439
Speaker 3: we've seen in the past. Community initiatives, nonprofits, organizations, committees,

416
00:18:43,920 --> 00:18:46,880
Speaker 3: a lot of different groups oversight things, and then it's

417
00:18:46,920 --> 00:18:49,280
Speaker 3: all being funded by increasing of taxes.

418
00:18:49,840 --> 00:18:51,680
Speaker 2: And that's kind of the same thing that we just

419
00:18:51,800 --> 00:18:54,840
Speaker 2: see over and over again. All to work on public safety.

420
00:18:55,320 --> 00:18:57,680
Speaker 2: We don't need to really strengthen the police force.

421
00:18:57,760 --> 00:19:00,119
Speaker 3: We need to have a lot of community initiatives, need

422
00:19:00,200 --> 00:19:02,000
Speaker 3: to have a lot of nonprofits getting worked on.

423
00:19:02,320 --> 00:19:04,720
Speaker 2: We need to have all these programs for the community,

424
00:19:05,200 --> 00:19:06,400
Speaker 2: and then we fund.

425
00:19:06,240 --> 00:19:10,199
Speaker 3: It by increasing taxes or misappropriating funds in our city budget.

426
00:19:10,600 --> 00:19:12,200
Speaker 2: And I just think that we've kind of got to

427
00:19:12,280 --> 00:19:15,840
Speaker 2: simplify things, you know. It's I go back to these

428
00:19:15,960 --> 00:19:17,760
Speaker 2: cameras that we're fighting for in the.

429
00:19:17,760 --> 00:19:21,240
Speaker 3: West End right now, there's so much red tape and

430
00:19:21,480 --> 00:19:24,399
Speaker 3: just so much, so many middlemen when it comes this.

431
00:19:24,560 --> 00:19:26,720
Speaker 2: You have to have a committee approved this, you have

432
00:19:26,800 --> 00:19:28,360
Speaker 2: to do this, you have to go through CPD.

433
00:19:28,720 --> 00:19:30,520
Speaker 3: Then you have to go through the contractor that supply

434
00:19:30,640 --> 00:19:32,719
Speaker 3: to the cameras well. Then they have a separate company

435
00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:34,600
Speaker 3: that installs the cameras, and then they.

436
00:19:34,520 --> 00:19:36,119
Speaker 2: Have to go through Duke Energy for.

437
00:19:36,200 --> 00:19:38,040
Speaker 3: The fire, you know, and then all to fly for

438
00:19:38,119 --> 00:19:40,560
Speaker 3: the fiber for the electric and all these different things.

439
00:19:40,600 --> 00:19:43,320
Speaker 2: And yeah, there's work that you have to go through

440
00:19:43,400 --> 00:19:45,840
Speaker 2: to get these things done. But it just seems like

441
00:19:45,960 --> 00:19:48,280
Speaker 2: the current mindset is more.

442
00:19:48,200 --> 00:19:51,879
Speaker 3: Government, more regulation, more red tape, and it just it

443
00:19:52,480 --> 00:19:54,720
Speaker 3: hinders a lot of the efficiency that we can see

444
00:19:54,760 --> 00:19:56,440
Speaker 3: in our city and it's wasting money.

445
00:19:56,880 --> 00:19:59,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, they know this in advance. They know the

446
00:19:59,280 --> 00:20:02,959
Speaker 1: hurdles that they have created are going to create impediments

447
00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:05,879
Speaker 1: to a quick response to getting the cameras up in

448
00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:09,040
Speaker 1: much needed neighborhoods. And yet they promise it and you

449
00:20:09,160 --> 00:20:11,000
Speaker 1: fast forward a couple of years and it still hasn't

450
00:20:11,040 --> 00:20:12,920
Speaker 1: been done. Well, they only have themselves to blame for

451
00:20:13,040 --> 00:20:15,240
Speaker 1: not remembering that they have all the impediments that are

452
00:20:15,240 --> 00:20:17,159
Speaker 1: going to if they started right away to do it,

453
00:20:17,560 --> 00:20:19,639
Speaker 1: it would still delay the project probably for a year

454
00:20:19,760 --> 00:20:22,000
Speaker 1: or so, but they got that to overcome before they

455
00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:23,880
Speaker 1: can deliver. But they don't even bother lifting a figure

456
00:20:23,960 --> 00:20:27,440
Speaker 1: to start the process. You know, great representation and leadership

457
00:20:27,480 --> 00:20:28,280
Speaker 1: we have here in the city.

458
00:20:29,800 --> 00:20:32,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, And I've spoken with the people behind the scenes.

459
00:20:32,520 --> 00:20:35,280
Speaker 3: The guys that are supplying the cameras are very frustrated

460
00:20:35,280 --> 00:20:38,200
Speaker 3: because they can install the cameras, but that gets.

461
00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:40,840
Speaker 2: Outsourced to another company and then that company has to

462
00:20:40,840 --> 00:20:43,120
Speaker 2: get improved with this or that, and it's just it's

463
00:20:43,160 --> 00:20:43,880
Speaker 2: taking a long time.

464
00:20:43,920 --> 00:20:45,639
Speaker 3: And this is what people have told me, is that

465
00:20:45,960 --> 00:20:48,480
Speaker 3: this is stuff that we could have proactively been working

466
00:20:48,560 --> 00:20:51,160
Speaker 3: on the last two years, but now we're getting placed

467
00:20:51,200 --> 00:20:52,679
Speaker 3: with all these impossible numbers that.

468
00:20:52,720 --> 00:20:54,560
Speaker 2: We have to get done by a certain time period,

469
00:20:54,920 --> 00:20:56,080
Speaker 2: when it could have just been.

470
00:20:56,320 --> 00:20:58,520
Speaker 3: Finished over the last few years if we will have

471
00:20:58,680 --> 00:21:01,480
Speaker 3: just proactively been pursued doing it. And I think that's

472
00:21:01,520 --> 00:21:04,560
Speaker 3: what has to change, is that we don't just find Okay,

473
00:21:04,720 --> 00:21:07,880
Speaker 3: what is the news making a big deal about this week,

474
00:21:07,960 --> 00:21:10,560
Speaker 3: and that's what we need to address. Let's look at

475
00:21:10,640 --> 00:21:14,640
Speaker 3: potential problems in our city and let's proactively work toward

476
00:21:14,720 --> 00:21:18,159
Speaker 3: getting it done as quickly and efficiently as possible, not

477
00:21:18,359 --> 00:21:19,520
Speaker 3: just wasting money.

478
00:21:19,920 --> 00:21:22,399
Speaker 2: Just I mean the type of government that we have

479
00:21:22,600 --> 00:21:22,919
Speaker 2: right now.

480
00:21:23,240 --> 00:21:26,159
Speaker 3: They'll see a problem and they'll spend forty million dollars

481
00:21:26,320 --> 00:21:29,840
Speaker 3: just for a committee to research what the solution actually is,

482
00:21:30,520 --> 00:21:33,120
Speaker 3: and then six months later that solution will be, oh, well,

483
00:21:33,160 --> 00:21:35,200
Speaker 3: we need to research more, we need to have a

484
00:21:35,320 --> 00:21:38,000
Speaker 3: separate committee to do this. And it's just like, that's

485
00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:40,080
Speaker 3: the type of mentality that we have. Let's just get

486
00:21:40,119 --> 00:21:43,120
Speaker 3: stuff done. And I think a lot of citizens, including

487
00:21:43,200 --> 00:21:46,639
Speaker 3: Democrats in our city, are just very frustrated with.

488
00:21:46,680 --> 00:21:49,560
Speaker 2: This because it's simple services, simple.

489
00:21:49,320 --> 00:21:54,080
Speaker 1: Solutions, simple services, simple solutions. Corey Bowman, former Mary Old candidate.
