  • The Great Cincinnati Train Robbery

    The Great Cincinnati Train Robbery
    2025/06/02
    I told you so. . . . Nearly $6 million has been funneled into the shadows, and the integrity of the city's campaign finance system hangs in the balance. Join us as we unravel the strings of alleged corruption surrounding the 2023 railway election, where Norfolk Southern, the city council, and Mayor Aftab's roles have sparked controversy. The lack of transparency and manipulation of campaign finance rules have raised serious questions, and our recent op-ed in the Inquirer zeroes in on the city's broken promises regarding anti-corruption reforms, shifting the narrative beyond Sittenfeld's pardon.

    We're demanding accountability and transparency like never before. The clandestine operations of the Norfolk Southern Steering Committee, especially regarding the sale of a public asset, are under the microscope. Why is there so little clarity about the committee's composition and their dealings with Aftab? And what about the staggering funds channeled into a related campaign—were they used responsibly? Our conversation doesn't just stop there; we propose legislative reforms to tighten the reins on corporate contributions to ballot issue campaigns in Ohio, calling for stringent campaign finance rules to ensure the integrity of public asset sales.

  • Look what we found! The Missing Audit. Response to Episode 12

    Look what we found! The Missing Audit. Response to Episode 12
    2025/05/28
    Todd unlocks the secrets of effective city governance as we expose the tangled web of a missing audit report and the story behind it. Navigate with us through the perplexities of audit management, from the bombshell draft by Crowe LLP in December 2022 to the final report's emergence nearly two years later. Despite the clear and valuable recommendations from Crowe—like improving council member recusals and managing conflicts of interest—the city has remained stagnant, leaving crucial improvements untouched. You’ll learn why transparency is more than a buzzword and hear firsthand why action on these findings is desperately needed.

    As tensions rise over the unaddressed audit findings and a hefty $150,000 price tag, we question the city's priorities and oversight capabilities. With ongoing issues in vehicle procurement and financial allocations, the city's new fleet plans are shrouded in controversy. Join the conversation as we unveil our plans to create a website dedicated to hosting key documents such as audit reports and city budgets, empowering you with the evidence to hold governance accountable. This episode promises to elevate your understanding of city governance challenges and the urgent necessity for transparency and accountability.

  • Cincinnati's Fleet Audit - City's Fiscal Crisis: Neglected Audits and Aging Fleet Challenge Priorities

    Cincinnati's Fleet Audit - City's Fiscal Crisis: Neglected Audits and Aging Fleet Challenge Priorities
    2025/05/20
    City leaders are failing their responsibilities, leaving essential services vulnerable and residents unprotected. With nearly half of the city's fleet, 685 vehicles, way past their prime, one might wonder if flashy goals like carbon neutrality are distracting from urgent needs. In this episode, we dissect the city's mounting $1.3 billion fiscal headache, including pension liabilities and neglected infrastructure, exacerbated by an ignored internal audit. The stark $82.7 million needed to replace these outdated vehicles demands attention to prevent another fiasco like Winter Storm Blair.

    Todd tackles the perplexing choices of city council members, who seem to prioritize long-term visions over immediate necessities. While the ambition for a greener future is commendable, the current cracks in fleet management can't be overlooked, especially with the looming threat of regionalizing the waterworks. Listen as we scrutinize the city council's fiscal decisions, the passivity of the mayor, and the seeming inaction of the city manager despite the audit's alarming revelations. Critical questions are raised about where the city's priorities truly lie and the lack of effective oversight in addressing these urgent challenges.
