Opinion: As mayor, I will end corruption, put Cincinnatians first Gavi Begtrup Cincinnati stands at a crossroads. We can return to the days of corrupt and broken government, or we can once again become the shining city of seven hills. Our Queen City once led the country in culture, architecture, public transportation and even police reform. Today, Cincinnati is becoming too expensive for everyday residents. Rents and property values were already outpacing wages when the pandemic hit. Cincinna...

Sen. Rob Portman, R-Terrace Park, said in a tweet that "justice appears to be served." That prompted State Rep. Erica Crawley, D-Columbus, to reply: "let’s be clear, Chauvin’s guilty verdict is not justice, it’s accountability." House Minority Leader Emilia Sykes, D-Akron, also made that distinction. “While today is a tremendous step, we know this isn’t the end of oppression, racism and injustice in America.

A crowd gathered in Washington Park Wednesday night to mark the solemn occasion and ask the question: “What’s changed in the two decades since ...

This one, however, is complex. This week marks 20 years since 19-year-old Timothy Thomas was killed by Cincinnati Police officer Stephen Roach, an incident that sparked civil unrest in downtown Cincinnati and created urgency around local police reform.
