Sundermann calls for Cincinnati City Council to suspend Wendell Young

Cincinnati City Councilwoman Betsy Sundermann wasted no time Wednesday. Just hours after Cincinnati voters passed Issues 1 and 2 – intended to make it easier to remove arrested council members – Republican Sundermann called for Democrat Councilman Wendell Young to be suspended. In a letter dated Wednesday, Sundermann asked Clerk of Council Melissa Autry to put forward a motion to suspend Young. That can t happen until Issue 2 officially becomes law in about two weeks when the Hamilton County Board of Elections certifies the primary vote. Sundermann said Young shouldn t be voting while facing criminal charges. The voters of Cincinnati gave us a clear message last night – they want us to clean up corruption at City Hall, Sundermann told The Enquirer. Issue 2 was put on the ballot for a time just like this. It s time we listen to the voters and act swiftly to remove Mr. Young from Council.

Analysis: Can Democrat David Mann Succeed In Mayoral Primary By Wooing GOP Voters?

Mann for Mayor / Facebook I have known Cincinnati mayoral candidate David Mann for nearly 40 years – as a City Council member, as mayor, as a one-term congressman, and as an old-fashioned Democratic liberal. But the one thing I never thought I would see is conservative Republicans – a minority in this heavily Democratic city – going out of their way to vote for Mann for mayor in the six-candidate field that is on the May 4 primary ballot. I am convinced it is happening. There is evidence out there that it is happening in the early in-person voting at the Hamilton County Board of Elections and in the early mail-in absentee voters who are carried on the voting rolls as Republicans.

City Officials Denounce Charter Amendment To Spend $50M On Affordable Housing

Ambriehl Crutchfield / WVXU A charter amendment likely to be on the May ballot would require Cincinnati to spend at least $50 million a year on affordable housing. Advocates say it s long past time to act, while critics say the impact on the budget would be devastating. Cincinnati Homeless Coalition Executive Director Josh Spring says it s encouraging that council is talking about the crisis more, but he says talk isn t enough. With these issues, we often end up where folks say, Let s create a task force; let s do a study; let s put together a report, Spring said. If we don t take action, if we don t put real money into it, we re not going to get ourselves out of this crisis.
