  • Cincinnati's Pension Liability

    Cincinnati's Pension Liability
    2025/06/30
    Cincinnati's pension crisis looms larger than ever, and ignoring it isn't an option. The city's current approach—with a $64 million surplus just sitting on the sidelines—is stagnating progress. Asset sales are a band-aid, not a cure, and the risks involved in regionalizing the waterworks make it a gamble we can't afford to lose. Our episode spotlights the city's hesitance to act on the straightforward advice from pension trust trustees: incrementally increase employer contributions. This simple yet effective strategy could revitalize the pension fund by 2045. Instead, Cincinnati's priorities lie elsewhere, leaving one of its most critical financial obligations in jeopardy.

    Join Todd as he scrutinizes the city's financial strategies and call for an urgent reallocation of resources. Redirecting surplus funds to tackle urgent pension liabilities, deferred maintenance, and infrastructure deficits is not just prudent, but essential for ensuring the financial stability of both the city and its employees. We argue for a shift in focus from new commitments to honoring existing promises, like those to the pension participants. Together, let's address these looming liabilities head-on, making sure they no longer overshadow Cincinnati's financial future.

  • Championing Transparency in Cincinnati

    Championing Transparency in Cincinnati
    2025/06/23
    By exploring real incidents like the bridge fire and the mismanagement of the city's fleet, we promise you'll gain a deeper understanding of the critical need for open governance. Todd crafted a 12-point transparency agenda aimed at enhancing clarity and accountability, setting the stage for better oversight and informed citizenry. Our conversations address how these issues affect not just the current landscape but shape the future of governance in Cincinnati.

    Our episode also sheds light on the glaring absence of cost accounting systems for major projects like the Connected Communities and Green Cincinnati Plans, highlighting the need for improved financial oversight. The lack of public engagement tools, akin to the federal process for commenting on ordinances, further underscores the need for reform. By championing the incorporation of citizens’ voices in governance, we advocate for a system that prevents oversight and ensures responsible spending. Join us as we outline a future where Cincinnati’s government operates with the transparency its citizens deserve.

  • Where the Sidewalk Ends . . . - Cincinnati's Budget Battles and Sidewalk Saga

    Where the Sidewalk Ends . . . - Cincinnati's Budget Battles and Sidewalk Saga
    2025/06/17
    City budgets aren't just about numbers; they're arenas where power and transparency clash, especially when sidewalks are on the line. With the clock ticking towards a June 30 deadline, we're breaking down the complex labyrinth of Cincinnati’s budgeting process. We highlight the slippery slope of leveraged support and the arbitrary adjustments by the mayor and city council—adjustments that are ripe for corruption without clear criteria or conflict-of-interest safeguards. It's a dive into the murky waters of city politics, where the absence of accountability raises more than just eyebrows.

    We're also shining a spotlight on a contentious new twist in the sidewalk saga. Vice Mayor and Councilwoman Albi have thrown a curveball with their proposal for a Sidewalk Repair Pilot Program, stirring controversy by tapping into railway funds. This proposal isn't just a bureaucratic shuffle; it challenges the city’s equitable spending plan, Cincy on Track, and evokes fears of misuse of resources. As complaints pour in, we question the fairness of a rail-funded fix. Will this pilot program be a boon for the citizens or a backdoor for favoritism? Tune in as we unravel these budgetary plot twists and their potential impact on Cincinnati's streets and its residents.
