Another city council meeting about crime

Cincinnati City Council’s Law and Public Safety committee will meet today at 2 p.m.

The Cincinnati Police Department is expected to make a presentation on its Community Orientated Policing program, and Police Chief Tom Streicher may make an appearance to discuss having an officer assigned to Mayor Mark Mallory’s office full-time for the mayor’s protection.

The meeting will be held at City Hall, 801 Plum Street. The meeting will be held in council chambers, room 300.

Can someone please let us rant and rave about how ludicrous the claims that Congresswoman Schmidt plagiarized an article that was given to her to use, not stolen? Thanks

The escalating crime rate in Cincinnati can and should be laid solely at the feet of the Repugnicants who run the City: Phil Hindlick and Steve Chabothead. Too bad John Cranley and David Pepper are too classy to hold these Nazis accountable for their destructive rule over our once-great city.

That is the worst Government analysis I've seen in a while. Heimlich is a County official, Chabot is a Federal official, neither have City official with them. The city doesn't even entirely fall in Chabot's district, and Heimlich has to spend his money for the good of the county. Now people who do everything for the good of the city would be people like Luken, Mallory, Pepper, Cranley, Cole, Reece, Crowley, Tarbell...and we're promoting them? Get your heads out of your rear ends and realize your candidates aren't that great and everyone in city hall has just been looking for a chance to move up, much like Chabot, Heimlich, and Blackwell have.

Let the Mayor pay for his own bodygaurd. Nobodies after him unless he had something to do with Kabaka and nobodies investigating it. We know he and Dale 4 Sale were working with the Beatty's to push city link, but I think he's just being a paraniod coward.

Mallory is a conspiracy theorist. If Luken didn't need a body gaurd why does this chump?

Heimlich was on Council was the you know what hit the fan (riots, crime wave, things moving to Ky., etc.). Now he's on the County Commission when you know is hitting the fan (jail overcrowding, misspending, Banks fiasco, etc.). The guy's an incompetent buffoon. Which is why he's so down in the polls.

I agree with anon 4:36, but why is David Pepper, who had his chance on Council, getting a promotion? It's musical chairs with these guys and I don't see that many great ideas being circulated. We need a tax hike, as non-conservative as that is, to fix problems, invest, and make Cincinnati what has made it so great.

Let's get the jail, get the banks, invest in some good projects that will enhance the city and provide income for years to come, and get rid of crime with real solutions. I think a small tax increase would solve these problems, and maybe even pay off the debt we've incurred from these bafoons holding office. Cincinnatians don't leave Cincinnati, everyone knows this, it's a typical "west sider" stereotype, so why not convince them of the tax increase so they can raise children here that are as happy with their city as they are. We're not convincing the younger generation, I can attest to this. Don't vote for Heimlich, but don't let Pepper get into office without some real ideas.

What crime problem? David Pepper lowered our crime rate so much while chairing the Law and Public Safety Committee that barely any crime remains in Cincinnati. Thanks to David Pepper's leadership, Cincinnati is one of the safest cities in the country. Vote Pepper!

That sounds all fine and dandy and makes you want to hug someone, but it's not a real solution. In order to cut something from a budget, you have to make all the people that either work or advocate for the thing you're cutting to agree and not cause an issue. Heimlich apparenlty agrees this is the right way, but he's been in office for years now and we don't see many results. It takes so much time to do that, it's just not realistic.

I said we need to raise taxes to stop the non-growth going on in the city. If you want to get something done when your city is stable, you cut spending and programs. If you want to get something done while your city is in decline, you get the money for it by raising taxes. It is so annoying to hear Heimlich and your type talk about all these other ways to get the money we need cause to be honest no one gives a crap. We want it done now, it has to be done now, it's been going on too long without action. Pepper needs to be commissioner, he needs to make them raise taxes to get some money, and we need to use that money for a jail, the banks, and to invest in some money making ideas.

The only way this city is going to be sustained is if we have an income, obviously. The city's losing money and we need to find a way to make the city money besides relying on its citizens because they're leaving at 11 people a day. Rick you need real ideas, not ideas that may work in 10 years, because the city needs help now.

Anonymous, as long as folks like you look to tax hikes to solve every problem, we are doomed as a civilization. This is a highway to hell. Taxation is now a runaway train and must be controlled. To just throw up our arms and decide that it is too difficult to get a grip on out of control spending by governments is incomprehensible... Insane spending is foolish and dangerous.
It cannot spiral upward if we have any hope of financial survival.
Raising taxes is not the answer. Cutting the waste out of the budget is.
Every budget, in every entity.

I have a feeling, that most people in Hamilton County and the City of Cincinnati, who are so fed up with what is going on, would agree with me. You still have not given any answers to the problem, what are we going to cut, when is it going to be cut, how will the saved money be spent?
