Since so many people are suffering because of the sudden increase in property taxes, why can’t we set everybody’s taxes back to the pre-2023 level while we get the bottom of all of the iniquity and deception that seemed to be present. The entities that are supported by taxes were getting along OK before 2023. They certainly don’t need double and triple what they had before.  What can the city do to help even though the state is responsible for this situation?

There is a free for all on our streets. Everywhere we go, there are people with no license plates, teenagers crashing through people’s property in stolen cars, revving their engines and racing through our neughborhoods at 2 o’clock in the morning, driving while smoking marijuana, etc. It used to be that when the police pulled people over for driving infractions, they caught a whole lot of other things, like people with warrants, drugs, or weapons;people driving with suspended licenses, no insurance, no registration for the car, etc. At all of the traffic and pedestrian safety meetings that I attended, Iris Rowley would make it very clear that we were not allowed to use the E word. The problems emanating from this hands off approach extend past the streets into businesses,  where theft has increased beyond belief because thieves know they won’t be stopped. Do you think the E word should be banned from discussions about improving the safety of all citizens in our city? Why?

What do you consider the role of community councils to be? How should they work in tandem with city government?

How can I, as a low income white male, possibly benefit from the City of Cincinnati 's DEI programs?  Have not the courts found DEI practices as unconstitutional?

Why is a Rowley, a City of Cincinnati Consultant, allowed to hire her son, with criminal records of robbery, aggravated drug possession, and having a gun while under a disability; for an about eighty-five dollars per hour, or $4,400 per month, city funded employment position?  While she seems to defend this, somehow indicating that he is what is needed to talk to people on Government Square; I sometimes need to use Government Square, regarding the SWORTA Queen City Metro system; and, I do not need him there.
