City Council is ahead of its time (for once)

Cincinnati City Council will vote next week to place a Republican-sponsored charter amendment on the November ballot. If approved by voters, it would put an end to automatic pay increases for City Council members.

Astute council-watchers may get deja vu. City Council took the same vote March 16, when the amendment passed 6-3. (Laketa Cole, John Cranley and Jim Tarbell opposed it.)

But a quirk in Ohio law says a vote to place a charter amendment on the ballot must take place "not less than sixty and not more than one hundred and twenty days" before the election, so City Council has to go through the motions again.
