Budget Time Must Be Coming
What do Cincinnatians think about funding human services?
Tuesday at 11 a.m. on the steps of Cincinnati City Hall, Applied Information Resources will say what the research firm's survey of 564 city residents found out about that.
Between 1981 and 2005, the city allocated 1.3 percent of its annual budget to human service agencies. Funding for human services agencies was a central battle in council's heated budgeting last year.
The group's announcement of the press conference says the survey questions, asked by the University of Cincinnati's Institute for Policy Research, were designed to glean whether residents support the city's funding policy and to find out what average citizens know about it.

Post a Comment*If this City can't honor the City Retirees' non-negotiable contracts on annuity payments & benefits, then they have no business in the Human Services sector.
This City Manager wants to save money on the backs of those who worked for the City & served honorably. Then turn around & toss money to programs for those who haven't done spit in their lives.
We have an uber-glut of social services "programs" in this City with no benchmarks, no accountability, no oversight. In essence, a couple of people opened up a storefront offering "services" & are collecting a paycheck at the taxpayers' expense without any thought of proven deliverables.
If the jail & its programs go in, along with the CityLink homeless mega mall (heaven forbid), that's going to put the bulk of the joke social services right out of business. The City would do well to pull the plug on this nonsense right now.
I'll be interested in learning what the people polled had to say about the City's giveaway program.
How much is the City giving to Santa Maria?
.
We all know the bird-ling and the 'fanatical five' cole-aberators prefer to cut social programs, close pools !
bird-ling and the 'fanatical five' cole-aberators then devote their time and energy toward corporate interest to yield campaign dollars !
bird-ling and the 'fanatical five' cole-aborators then grand-stand and place local dog ordinances as 'job number one' !
The real question is why would the bungal-ing bird-ling receive $ 170,000 in campaign contributions for a 2 year position that pays $ 60,000 yr. ?
Somebody's interest are being served, but it sure isn't the children, whom would like a pool to swim in !
Where are the bird-ling and the 'fanatical five' cole-aborator's priorities ?
The voters will let them know, when they:
Vote NO on the 'fanatical five' !
PATHETIC con-artists !
HAD ENOUGH, VOTE for a real DEMOCRAT and Jeffrey !
Sure everybody loves people who help people...but what about the dozens of organizations that city taxpayers fund?
Nobody has any clue what they do, or if they do it efficiently. I am certain that issue is not in the survey.
