City Hall Works, But How Well?

It's a little on the dry side, this inch-thick report on how things work at 801 Plum St. But if you're one of those who thinks Cincinnati city officials should spend some time studying how they might do things better, here's your bedside reading material.


The City Hall Works Advisory Committee was formed a year ago. Members interviewed city officials and employees, studied each city department and did more detailed research on some departments, including public services, transportation and engineering. The 2006 budget included $100,000 for the work.


Jeff Berding, who suggested in 2005 a study about reinventing government, said he thinks the biggest immediate impact will be on the city's information technology department.


If you want to read the whole thing, start here.

Is that the same Jeff Berding that wanted to give $1 million to the Freedom Center this year and wants to give another million to it next year?

I guess he has to have SOMETHING to run on this year. He has been such a disappointment.

Berding is a joke. Can't wait until this november when the voters show him that this is not the 1980's Cincinnati anymore and he is no Nick Vehr. He would have been much better off running as a Republican.

The problem with City Hall is that there's always too many people there who pick fights rather than work on issues. In just the past few years we've seen the likes of Reece, Ghiz, Crowley, Berding, Bortz, and then there's Cranley abandoning his job while running for Congress. Of course nothing gets done.
