CINCINNATI â The day following the passage of her charter amendment, City Councilwoman Betsy Sundermann filed paperwork to initiate suspension proceedings against Councilman Wendell Young.
Sundermann s action follows Tuesday s passage of Issue 2, a charter
amendment she proposed that grants City Council the authority to suspend a member who is under felony indictment. We need to listen to the voters and act swiftly to suspend Councilman Young, Sundermann said during a news conference Wednesday morning. If we don t act swiftly on this. we need to answer to 77% of Cincinnatians on why we are not doing exactly what they asked us to do yesterday.
