And I'll 26 00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:19,600 Speaker 2: let you speak to this investigation they've launched. Apparently they're 27 00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:21,760 Speaker 2: going to be looking through I guess with twenty twenty 28 00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:24,960 Speaker 2: hindsight every single thing that Police Chief Thiji did during 29 00:01:24,959 --> 00:01:27,760 Speaker 2: her four years in the role of police chief between 30 00:01:27,760 --> 00:01:31,600 Speaker 2: now and December with some retained law firm from Columbus. 31 00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:33,400 Speaker 2: So we'll get to that in a moment, but real 32 00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:37,039 Speaker 2: quickly here, I want to thank you on behalf of 33 00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:41,039 Speaker 2: the Greater Cincinnati Listening audience for what you and your 34 00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:44,120 Speaker 2: family have done, your career in law enforcement, your brother, 35 00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:46,880 Speaker 2: and of course Police Chief Thiji's career. She's been at 36 00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:48,440 Speaker 2: it for thirty five years. How many years were you 37 00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:49,760 Speaker 2: on the SINCINNT Police Department? 38 00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:53,520 Speaker 1: I did thirty four, Mike's a retired captain, did thirty four. Rick's, 39 00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:57,480 Speaker 1: a retired captain with the county, did thirty. My son's 40 00:01:57,520 --> 00:02:02,320 Speaker 1: on left. We have nephews on my sister Joyce retired 41 00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:04,720 Speaker 1: after thirty or so. But I do want to emphasize this. 42 00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:09,120 Speaker 1: Thank you for mentioning it, thank you for recognizing it. 43 00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:10,520 Speaker 2: That's service man, that is. 44 00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:14,440 Speaker 1: But Brian, this issue is absolutely not about the Neville 45 00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:16,359 Speaker 1: family or the legacy. It's nice to hear. 46 00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:18,800 Speaker 2: Is anybody suggesting that it is. I would like to 47 00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:19,160 Speaker 2: think not. 48 00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:21,880 Speaker 1: No. I just want to separate it out that we 49 00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:26,079 Speaker 1: are here. We appreciate the recognition, but the focus here 50 00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:29,560 Speaker 1: is Terry and it is where we hope voters in 51 00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:35,080 Speaker 1: the city of Cincinnati specifically challenge themselves to be open 52 00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:38,240 Speaker 1: to an except new leadership, and we can get further 53 00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:38,720 Speaker 1: into that, and. 54 00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:41,679 Speaker 2: We will definitely do that. Russ, the city's got a 55 00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:44,680 Speaker 2: problem with crime. I talk to people all the time, 56 00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:46,880 Speaker 2: you know, Yeah, it's a pain down there. Look what happens. 57 00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:49,560 Speaker 2: I mean, we got Holly getting clocked in the face 58 00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:52,320 Speaker 2: for no reason by some random dude that she wasn't 59 00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:54,880 Speaker 2: even doing anything but rendering assistance. We have a Sarah 60 00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:57,280 Speaker 2: Herringer who gets her husband's stabbed in there over the 61 00:02:57,360 --> 00:03:00,160 Speaker 2: Rhine apartment right in front of her. He died in 62 00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:02,800 Speaker 2: her arms just a couple of and in addition to 63 00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:05,200 Speaker 2: all the gunshots ringing out, all the other murders, and 64 00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:08,639 Speaker 2: all the other mayhem, the violence of property crimes. Everybody's saying, 65 00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:10,720 Speaker 2: we've got a crime problem in downtown since that, except 66 00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:12,600 Speaker 2: may I have to have parvol who up until about 67 00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:15,280 Speaker 2: five seconds ago kept going around, No, you have a 68 00:03:15,320 --> 00:03:20,880 Speaker 2: perception problem. It's a perception problem. So then Plice G 69 00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:22,880 Speaker 2: three G gets thiet, he gets left that your sister 70 00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:24,920 Speaker 2: gets let go. I don't how can I connect this? 71 00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:27,400 Speaker 2: And how is it that she's a scapegoat? She worked 72 00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:27,760 Speaker 2: for him. 73 00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:29,679 Speaker 1: Let me let me flow into this if I could, 74 00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:32,359 Speaker 1: if we have time and I could interjet. I want 75 00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:35,960 Speaker 1: cover Terry's career just a little bit. Thirty four years, 76 00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:43,360 Speaker 1: a mom of four, grandmother and nine at this stage dedicated, committed, loyal, honest, 77 00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:47,200 Speaker 1: direct and strong, and she committed those years of this city. 78 00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:50,320 Speaker 1: And people that are in position of authority now have 79 00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:53,880 Speaker 1: elected to scapegoader and set that aside. I go back 80 00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:55,680 Speaker 1: to it's not about the Neville family. It's about the 81 00:03:55,720 --> 00:03:59,360 Speaker 1: treatment of people who currently in future desire to sit 82 00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:02,520 Speaker 1: in that position or other administrative positions such as fire chief. 83 00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:06,160 Speaker 1: Those are very very critical issues, and it's about dignity 84 00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:11,000 Speaker 1: and respect. We transition from that to the political element 85 00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:14,600 Speaker 1: of it. Family of eighty plus Brian forty or fifty 86 00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:18,680 Speaker 1: or a voter age, we're Democrats in independence Republicans. We 87 00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:21,560 Speaker 1: vote across the board, we talk across the board, and 88 00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:23,359 Speaker 1: we're fortunate that we can do that as a family 89 00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:27,000 Speaker 1: and still get along and enjoy sitting down together. Point being, 90 00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:33,760 Speaker 1: the mayor has failed in managing this city, and we 91 00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:36,279 Speaker 1: as a family for those that continue to vote in 92 00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:38,440 Speaker 1: the city, in those otherwise in the county which it 93 00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:44,400 Speaker 1: reaches out to, in other elements, we recognize collectively that 94 00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:50,000 Speaker 1: this is about leadership change in the city the mayor, 95 00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:56,279 Speaker 1: regardless of your party, this borders on inhumane the treatment 96 00:04:56,360 --> 00:05:01,480 Speaker 1: of Chief Thiji Terry Thiji when he is leading this. 97 00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:05,159 Speaker 1: I don't care what anybody says, and we will wait 98 00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:07,320 Speaker 1: for other elements to come out as the lawyers on 99 00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:09,240 Speaker 1: their side and the lawyers on Terry side do what 100 00:05:09,279 --> 00:05:12,240 Speaker 1: they do, and we'll leave that process work itself out. 101 00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:18,159 Speaker 1: He's wasting tax dollars. It's the timing of the waste 102 00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:21,080 Speaker 1: of tax dollars when the money's not there, the resources 103 00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:24,000 Speaker 1: aren't there. He placed her on leave, then hires a 104 00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:28,919 Speaker 1: law firm to conduct an inquiry. It's a gross misuse 105 00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:34,080 Speaker 1: of resources. And the constituents deserve better. They deserve better. 106 00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:36,080 Speaker 1: And then when we get to the crime discussion that 107 00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:38,760 Speaker 1: you offered up with, this crime is an ebb and 108 00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:41,599 Speaker 1: flow Brian. Of course, you go back and look ten years, 109 00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:44,720 Speaker 1: five years, it's an evan flow. Different neighborhoods, different neighborhoods, 110 00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:48,000 Speaker 1: gets hit. You manage it, you control it, you put programs, 111 00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:52,159 Speaker 1: you put resources. Here's what gets me. There's fifty two 112 00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:56,039 Speaker 1: communities in this city. The mayor didn't step up and 113 00:05:56,080 --> 00:05:59,400 Speaker 1: say a word, didn't take actions until it hit the 114 00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:02,479 Speaker 1: central Business district, which it's a shame it has, and 115 00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:05,400 Speaker 1: there are plans and processes to improve that. What about 116 00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:08,880 Speaker 1: the other fifty one communities when he had an opportunity 117 00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:11,120 Speaker 1: to step up and make a voice and make a 118 00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:14,200 Speaker 1: point and try to do something silent? So who's he 119 00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:15,120 Speaker 1: really a mayor for. 120 00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:17,719 Speaker 2: It's not for the city, No, clearly not. And I 121 00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:19,440 Speaker 2: mean I could go straight to the whole Hyde Park 122 00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:23,680 Speaker 2: development project. He throws connected communities over every neighborhood without 123 00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:26,680 Speaker 2: consulting any local neighborhood about it. His own personal self direction, 124 00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:29,640 Speaker 2: then makes exceptions for well connected developers. He did it 125 00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:32,080 Speaker 2: to bond Hill. But then again he doesn't care what 126 00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:35,320 Speaker 2: the constituents say. They scream out loud, he ignores them. 127 00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:37,200 Speaker 2: So I guess he's serving his own political interest in 128 00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:39,720 Speaker 2: his own whim. But back to the retention to this 129 00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:42,719 Speaker 2: law firm. If you read the retention letter, the information 130 00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:45,360 Speaker 2: that came out about it, they've been hired to look 131 00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:49,800 Speaker 2: at her record. It sounds to me like to find 132 00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:54,040 Speaker 2: some justification letter go. He didn't say out loud anything 133 00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:57,120 Speaker 2: that she did to justify him placing your own administrative 134 00:06:57,160 --> 00:06:59,080 Speaker 2: leave in the first place. So now he's got a 135 00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:01,039 Speaker 2: search committee out there looking for something in a record 136 00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:03,200 Speaker 2: so he can come back later and fill in the blank. 137 00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:06,760 Speaker 2: Oh yeah, by the way, back in October, the reason 138 00:07:06,839 --> 00:07:09,039 Speaker 2: I put her on in Australia's leads because this thing 139 00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:11,560 Speaker 2: she did two years ago, which isn't even on her 140 00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:12,240 Speaker 2: record right now. 141 00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:15,640 Speaker 1: And it's interesting that you know, five eight nine days 142 00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:19,960 Speaker 1: before this came about, he stated to my brother that 143 00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:24,040 Speaker 1: there was no light between them, that he had full 144 00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:27,200 Speaker 1: confidence and faith and confidence in her. What happened, it 145 00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:32,920 Speaker 1: wasn't Terry's performance, and it's asked backwards. Anybody that pays 146 00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:36,440 Speaker 1: attention or follows the treatment of people, or anybody's been 147 00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:39,160 Speaker 1: in a management position, and those who have been reporting 148 00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:42,880 Speaker 1: to management positions, they realize that this is backwards and 149 00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:47,040 Speaker 1: will allow what they do to the process to go forward. 150 00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:50,920 Speaker 1: I don't see them finding anything in Terry's history that 151 00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:54,680 Speaker 1: would be questionable to anybody, and we'll see what Terry's 152 00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:57,720 Speaker 1: attorney does with it from there. But it's asked backwards. 153 00:07:57,720 --> 00:07:58,880 Speaker 1: There's no better way to say it. 154 00:07:59,200 --> 00:08:01,400 Speaker 2: Well, and they've been down this road before. You made 155 00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:03,840 Speaker 2: mentioned briefly of the fire department. We all know what 156 00:08:03,920 --> 00:08:07,440 Speaker 2: happened to Michael Washington. Michael Washington's going to get a big, 157 00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:10,760 Speaker 2: fat paycheck complements of the city taxpayers as a consequence 158 00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:14,760 Speaker 2: of him being terminated without cause. This sounds like lining 159 00:08:14,840 --> 00:08:17,760 Speaker 2: up for number two. They are already demonstrably incompetent in 160 00:08:17,760 --> 00:08:20,480 Speaker 2: the treatment of him. Looks like let's gear up for 161 00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:21,280 Speaker 2: another big check. 162 00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:23,840 Speaker 1: I mean, obviously I can't speak on the check, I 163 00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:29,960 Speaker 1: can't speak on the ligation, but I will say what 164 00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:35,760 Speaker 1: they're doing is wrong. It's out in line, it's inhumane, 165 00:08:36,160 --> 00:08:38,800 Speaker 1: and it's a combination of the mayor and the manager. 166 00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:40,520 Speaker 1: And for the mayor to set back and act as 167 00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:43,160 Speaker 1: if he doesn't have an influence on this or some 168 00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:46,040 Speaker 1: involvement in this is a blatant lie to his constituents. 169 00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:50,600 Speaker 2: Blatant lied to his constituents. In studio, retired Captain russ Neville, 170 00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:53,520 Speaker 2: after a story curis insint Police Department from an amazing 171 00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:57,720 Speaker 2: law enforcement family. Will continue talking about this issue that 172 00:08:57,800 --> 00:09:00,160 Speaker 2: we all can say something about because guess what the 173 00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:02,800 Speaker 2: elections next Tuesday, and you do have an opportunity to vote. 174 00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:04,800 Speaker 2: And remember the definition of stupidity is doing the same 175 00:09:04,840 --> 00:09:07,640 Speaker 2: thing over and over again expecting a different result. Forty 176 00:09:07,679 --> 00:09:09,840 Speaker 2: years worth here in the city of Cincinnati. How are 177 00:09:09,880 --> 00:09:17,000 Speaker 2: your roads parenthetically eight fifteen station, it's eight nineteen fifty 178 00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:19,440 Speaker 2: five ker CD talk station. Yes, my conversation with russ 179 00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:21,960 Speaker 2: Neville continues even off air. That was where my chuckles 180 00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:25,080 Speaker 2: were coming from. Russ Neville, retired Captain of the Cincinnati 181 00:09:25,080 --> 00:09:29,880 Speaker 2: Police Department thirty four years He said, that's just absolutely amazing, 182 00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:34,000 Speaker 2: all right, insofar as police chief, Theji's concerned again, your 183 00:09:34,040 --> 00:09:37,440 Speaker 2: sister and you're well connected with this issue because of 184 00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:40,079 Speaker 2: some family reasons, but simply because and by virtue of 185 00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:42,240 Speaker 2: your being a police officer for so long, you know 186 00:09:42,400 --> 00:09:45,480 Speaker 2: exactly how all of this works. Now, there was a 187 00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:49,960 Speaker 2: day prior to Issue five being passed where the collective, 188 00:09:50,040 --> 00:09:53,679 Speaker 2: the police officers themselves chose I believe, from among their 189 00:09:53,679 --> 00:09:55,839 Speaker 2: own ranks who they wanted elevated a police chief. I 190 00:09:55,880 --> 00:09:59,760 Speaker 2: think the last person to have that was a chief Striker, correct, 191 00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:03,280 Speaker 2: And I guess politics being what it is, Striker was 192 00:10:03,320 --> 00:10:06,240 Speaker 2: immune from being let go for any reason whatsoever because 193 00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:08,800 Speaker 2: he was subject to the union benefits in the corrective 194 00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:11,800 Speaker 2: bargaining agreement. So they changed the law. Issue five was 195 00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:14,720 Speaker 2: passed that gives exclusive control over the hiring and firing 196 00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:17,160 Speaker 2: of the fire chief and police chief to the city 197 00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:20,080 Speaker 2: manager and the mayor. Not even council gets to vote 198 00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:20,360 Speaker 2: on this. 199 00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:24,760 Speaker 1: That's correct, So at least the manager. I don't know 200 00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:27,640 Speaker 1: what influence the mayor has, but by Issue five, if 201 00:10:27,679 --> 00:10:30,920 Speaker 1: I understand correctly, it's the city managers RESPONSIBILITI well, and I. 202 00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:32,800 Speaker 2: Make the argument because the manager is at the behest 203 00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:34,800 Speaker 2: of the mayor, then we all know who's ultimately pulling 204 00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:38,040 Speaker 2: the strings here or operating the puppet as the case 205 00:10:38,080 --> 00:10:42,840 Speaker 2: may be. Fop nod so something seems to me out 206 00:10:42,840 --> 00:10:48,800 Speaker 2: of this very politicized thing that's going on to your sister, 207 00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:53,320 Speaker 2: the political nature of her being well put on administrative leave, 208 00:10:53,360 --> 00:10:55,520 Speaker 2: the wise of areforce, what led to this when things 209 00:10:55,520 --> 00:10:58,440 Speaker 2: seem to be so swimmingly wonderful, but with the relationship 210 00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:02,880 Speaker 2: need to be readdressed. Now. I thought Christopher Smithman had 211 00:11:02,920 --> 00:11:06,160 Speaker 2: a great idea, and I know that you've I think 212 00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:08,640 Speaker 2: you're in line at least along in a similar path 213 00:11:08,679 --> 00:11:11,760 Speaker 2: of Christopher's idea. Get the council members involved on some level. 214 00:11:11,760 --> 00:11:14,120 Speaker 2: What's your proposal? What do you think needs to be now. 215 00:11:14,120 --> 00:11:17,480 Speaker 1: One hundred percent agree with what both Kenny Kober, the 216 00:11:17,559 --> 00:11:22,000 Speaker 1: FOP president, and Chris Smithman wisely have shared in some fashion. 217 00:11:22,920 --> 00:11:26,080 Speaker 1: The authority to hire and or fire or remove for 218 00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:30,520 Speaker 1: whatever reason, for just cause should be somehow placed with council, 219 00:11:31,080 --> 00:11:34,040 Speaker 1: such as a seven of nine or a unanimous vote, 220 00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:36,800 Speaker 1: not a simple majority where you get five to four. 221 00:11:37,240 --> 00:11:39,400 Speaker 1: It should be a stronger. You're talking about people's livelihood. 222 00:11:39,400 --> 00:11:42,880 Speaker 1: You're talking about what impacts years of efforts and programs 223 00:11:42,920 --> 00:11:46,200 Speaker 1: and planning and resourcing. So it needs to be a 224 00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:49,120 Speaker 1: much deeper thought, and I think it has to go 225 00:11:49,200 --> 00:11:51,520 Speaker 1: in front of a body much larger than an individual. 226 00:11:51,640 --> 00:11:55,080 Speaker 2: Well, you said more than five, because of course I 227 00:11:55,160 --> 00:11:57,240 Speaker 2: remember Gang of five like it was yesterday. So you 228 00:11:57,240 --> 00:11:59,520 Speaker 2: can get some nefarious activity going on behind the scenes. 229 00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:03,800 Speaker 2: Set up firing. That's correct, easy to accomplish. Most notably, 230 00:12:04,760 --> 00:12:06,240 Speaker 2: did you know that there's a vote next week? We 231 00:12:06,280 --> 00:12:08,239 Speaker 2: get to vote on Tuesday and maybe change the administration. 232 00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:11,200 Speaker 2: Most notably, since all of the current council members are Democrat, 233 00:12:11,200 --> 00:12:14,559 Speaker 2: the likelihood of a uniform one ercent locks that vote 234 00:12:14,640 --> 00:12:17,960 Speaker 2: is almost assured. Under the current circumstances. We really do 235 00:12:18,080 --> 00:12:19,920 Speaker 2: need some different voices, Russ. 236 00:12:20,080 --> 00:12:23,880 Speaker 1: One of the reasons, obviously, the primary reason that I 237 00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:28,360 Speaker 1: come on and the family requests a voice is to 238 00:12:28,440 --> 00:12:32,640 Speaker 1: defend and support Terry. The second is to discuss voting 239 00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:37,200 Speaker 1: there is it's there's no simpler way to say it 240 00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:42,320 Speaker 1: than the city needs new leadership, specifically at the mayor's position. 241 00:12:43,559 --> 00:12:47,560 Speaker 1: Early votings on going, Brian. It's seven thirty seven thirty 242 00:12:47,559 --> 00:12:50,040 Speaker 1: Monday through Friday. If you want to early vote, early vote, 243 00:12:50,040 --> 00:12:54,560 Speaker 1: you've got time. It's open Saturday till four, open Sunday 244 00:12:54,640 --> 00:12:57,640 Speaker 1: till five. Please take advantage of the early voting and 245 00:12:57,679 --> 00:12:59,800 Speaker 1: a point I'd like to make is if you have 246 00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:05,520 Speaker 1: voted in years for whatever reason, but you're registered, just 247 00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:08,360 Speaker 1: to go to vote Hamilton County, Ohio dot org and 248 00:13:08,360 --> 00:13:11,679 Speaker 1: see if you're still a registered and approved voter and 249 00:13:11,880 --> 00:13:16,280 Speaker 1: go vote. Nothing will change, whether it be city or 250 00:13:16,320 --> 00:13:19,880 Speaker 1: in the future county, but specifically, nothing will change city. 251 00:13:19,960 --> 00:13:22,800 Speaker 1: If the people who think this is wrong, If the 252 00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:25,640 Speaker 1: people who think this is in humane are the people 253 00:13:25,840 --> 00:13:28,320 Speaker 1: out there who hear what the mayor says and says, 254 00:13:28,360 --> 00:13:31,080 Speaker 1: that's not the kind of leader I want leading our city. 255 00:13:31,360 --> 00:13:34,680 Speaker 1: Please vote. And I'm specifically talking to to some degree, 256 00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:38,080 Speaker 1: the west side of Cincinnati. I think the West side 257 00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:41,679 Speaker 1: of Cincinnati has an opportunity to protect themselves here. I 258 00:13:41,679 --> 00:13:44,760 Speaker 1: think they've been excluded from politics for quite a few years. 259 00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:47,320 Speaker 1: This is your chance to come out, make a vote, 260 00:13:47,559 --> 00:13:49,640 Speaker 1: change leadership and have a voice and a seat at 261 00:13:49,640 --> 00:13:52,280 Speaker 1: the table. In addition to the Hyde Parks and Mount 262 00:13:52,360 --> 00:13:56,080 Speaker 1: Washington's and Mount Lookouts, absolutely all fifty two communities, but 263 00:13:56,160 --> 00:13:58,800 Speaker 1: the fifteen on the West Side have been neglected. Brian 264 00:13:58,840 --> 00:14:01,079 Speaker 1: and I am begging them to come out and make 265 00:14:01,080 --> 00:14:01,480 Speaker 1: a vote. 266 00:14:01,559 --> 00:14:03,559 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's time to retake the flag over on the 267 00:14:03,559 --> 00:14:04,199 Speaker 2: west side. 268 00:14:04,520 --> 00:14:05,080 Speaker 1: I believe. So. 269 00:14:06,400 --> 00:14:08,520 Speaker 2: Listen, I grew up on the West Side. I'm a 270 00:14:08,559 --> 00:14:13,080 Speaker 2: delhesion by my roots man, and what has happened over 271 00:14:13,120 --> 00:14:17,520 Speaker 2: the years to you know, Price Hill and Westwood, it's 272 00:14:17,640 --> 00:14:20,600 Speaker 2: just deteriorated. And I'm not blaming any particular individual, but 273 00:14:20,840 --> 00:14:23,080 Speaker 2: it seems to me that the West Side's sort of 274 00:14:23,120 --> 00:14:24,920 Speaker 2: been the I don't know if I can put it 275 00:14:24,960 --> 00:14:29,240 Speaker 2: this way, the Section eight, you know, relocation area. I 276 00:14:29,280 --> 00:14:32,200 Speaker 2: know they rehabilitated and gentrified over the Rhine. A lot 277 00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:34,200 Speaker 2: of former Over the Rhine residents can't afford to live 278 00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:36,640 Speaker 2: there anymore. They had to go someplace. Don't know if 279 00:14:36,640 --> 00:14:38,280 Speaker 2: that's an issue or not. I just know the West 280 00:14:38,280 --> 00:14:40,520 Speaker 2: Side does not look like it did, say fifteen, even 281 00:14:40,560 --> 00:14:41,040 Speaker 2: twenty years. 282 00:14:41,080 --> 00:14:43,520 Speaker 1: And I'll even take it a step further. I do 283 00:14:43,640 --> 00:14:45,560 Speaker 1: focus on the West Side. That's where we grew up 284 00:14:45,560 --> 00:14:47,280 Speaker 1: and I grew up, and I think we have tremendous 285 00:14:47,280 --> 00:14:49,160 Speaker 1: support there and I hope they come out and vote. 286 00:14:49,800 --> 00:14:52,360 Speaker 1: Let's go back to fifty two communities in the city. 287 00:14:52,760 --> 00:14:55,640 Speaker 1: They deserve better leadership as they do, and the only 288 00:14:55,680 --> 00:14:58,800 Speaker 1: way they're going to get is if they potentially step 289 00:14:58,800 --> 00:15:02,120 Speaker 1: out of their comfort zone and vote different than historically 290 00:15:02,160 --> 00:15:05,080 Speaker 1: have voted and give somebody, a group of people an 291 00:15:05,080 --> 00:15:08,400 Speaker 1: opportunity to show more and better going forward for the city. 292 00:15:08,840 --> 00:15:12,200 Speaker 2: Well, I believe Corey Bowman does have prioritization, correct. I 293 00:15:12,240 --> 00:15:15,440 Speaker 2: know he is very anxious to get the roads resurfaced. 294 00:15:15,480 --> 00:15:18,440 Speaker 2: He's very anxious to do a better analysis of the 295 00:15:18,440 --> 00:15:21,440 Speaker 2: police department, support the police, get the contingent of police 296 00:15:21,440 --> 00:15:24,320 Speaker 2: officers up to a full contingent. He would take the 297 00:15:24,400 --> 00:15:27,120 Speaker 2: resources I think offered from the governor to get us 298 00:15:27,160 --> 00:15:29,440 Speaker 2: to that contingent, to see if that solves the crime 299 00:15:29,480 --> 00:15:31,960 Speaker 2: problem we've got going on here. At least try it. 300 00:15:32,640 --> 00:15:35,320 Speaker 2: Don't reimagine the police department. Just take up the resources 301 00:15:35,320 --> 00:15:36,840 Speaker 2: that you got in front of us. Let's see what 302 00:15:36,880 --> 00:15:37,360 Speaker 2: we can do. 303 00:15:37,520 --> 00:15:41,840 Speaker 1: If you sit back now and you believe that things 304 00:15:41,880 --> 00:15:45,440 Speaker 1: are good, consider voting the way you've been voting. If 305 00:15:45,440 --> 00:15:49,280 Speaker 1: you think change needs to be either, don't vote for 306 00:15:49,320 --> 00:15:51,560 Speaker 1: the current leadership when you go to vote for council 307 00:15:52,520 --> 00:15:56,120 Speaker 1: meaning the mayor or I go back to come out 308 00:15:56,160 --> 00:15:59,560 Speaker 1: of your comfort zone. Try something new and let's see 309 00:15:59,600 --> 00:15:59,960 Speaker 1: what we can do. 310 00:16:00,720 --> 00:16:03,120 Speaker 2: There will be another election down the road. Give them 311 00:16:03,160 --> 00:16:06,800 Speaker 2: a shot. You may be surprised. Russ Neville. Thank you 312 00:16:06,800 --> 00:16:10,680 Speaker 2: for your service to our community.
