Listen "Championing Transparency in Cincinnati"
Episode Synopsis
By exploring real incidents like the bridge fire and the mismanagement of the city's fleet, we promise you'll gain a deeper understanding of the critical need for open governance. Todd crafted a 12-point transparency agenda aimed at enhancing clarity and accountability, setting the stage for better oversight and informed citizenry. Our conversations address how these issues affect not just the current landscape but shape the future of governance in Cincinnati.Our episode also sheds light on the glaring absence of cost accounting systems for major projects like the Connected Communities and Green Cincinnati Plans, highlighting the need for improved financial oversight. The lack of public engagement tools, akin to the federal process for commenting on ordinances, further underscores the need for reform. By championing the incorporation of citizens’ voices in governance, we advocate for a system that prevents oversight and ensures responsible spending. Join us as we outline a future where Cincinnati’s government operates with the transparency its citizens deserve.
