The amendment to our Charter states that Council MUST pass the ordinances that fund these capital improvements chosen by the mayor and his appointees at the Park Board. If we are ever in a situation where we need to cut funds out of the budget, Council should have the authority to decide where to do that. Beyond that, even when we have a new mayor, Bob's point is still valid!! How will we maintain all these new capital improvements?

Instead, devote your efforts to getting rid of cranley. cranley is awful and must go for Cincinnati do develop, but there are various ways to do that.

This levy also commands City Council to appropriate at least 2.3 million dollars every year to the parks. Does City Council have any say in how this money is spent? NO! Do the taxpayers have any say in how this money will be spent? The Parks Board will take input. That's it. Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17825302954740982338noreply@blogger.com
