    Discover the intricate world of Cincinnati City Council's budget decisions, where millions are strategically allocated to over 50 organizations, raising important questions about oversight and transparency. Todd promises you’ll gain a comprehensive understanding of how the Achieving Change Together program aims to combat gun violence through financial support to nonprofits, all while navigating the delicate balance of political and financial alliances. Our discussion sheds light on the complexities of clientelism, revealing how mutual benefits between city officials and nonprofits create a cycle of political support that demands accountability and transparency.

We explore how city officials might use funding to secure votes, drawing parallels to clientelism and earmarking practices that have significantly grown city budgets over the past decade.

  • The ARC Program and Its Impact on Public Safety

    The ARC Program and Its Impact on Public Safety
    2025/02/21
    Forget everything you know about typical emergency response systems. Our city is breaking new ground with the ARC (Alternative Response to Crisis) program, a revolutionary approach to handling non-violent 911 calls with social workers and mental health specialists instead of police officers. This initiative, which became a permanent fixture in FY23, is stirring up controversy with unions and raising questions about resource allocation and public safety. We dissect how the city's strategic use of tax credits from a railway sale is fueling investments in social justice and mental health, and we don't shy away from addressing the outcry from the Fraternal Order of Police and the Firefighters Union over being left out of negotiations.

    But there's more to this story. We dive into the heavy burden placed on dispatchers who must navigate these new procedures while maintaining their crucial role in emergency response. The tragic 2018 Kyle Plush incident serves as a sobering reminder of the stakes involved, prompting a deep look at the integration of the ARC program with the existing 911 system. We ponder whether the Qualified Settlement Fund, which oversees 911 operations, was adequately consulted. This episode is a compelling exploration of the city's balancing act with public safety, resource reallocation, and community needs.

  • Rethinking Crime Strategies in Cincinnati

    Rethinking Crime Strategies in Cincinnati
    2025/02/21
    Crime isn't just a statistic; it's a reality that hits close to home for West Price Hill residents. Officer Kroger recently shared shocking crime figures, including aggravated robberies and even a murder, urging us to question the effectiveness of the city's Act for Cincy plan. Does the plan truly fight crime, or does it merely help residents live with it? Our discussion peels back the layers of this plan's lengthy documentation, scrutinizing its financial transparency and the role of the Human Services Violence Prevention Fund. Could a return to the successful practices of the 2002 Collaborative Agreement be the answer to enhancing community safety?

    As we navigate the intricate web of community funding and oversight, we assess the relationship between Act for Cincy and the Collaborative Agreement. Both aim to involve the community, yet they differ notably in their approach to law enforcement and social justice. With Act for Cincy funneling substantial sums to various nonprofits and support groups, we examine the complexities of tracking these funds and the city council's involvement. This episode invites listeners to engage deeply with the Act for Cincy report, revealing the financial and social implications of these initiatives on our broader community.
