Civic issues
Topics getting the most attention in Cincinnati public meetings, ranked by how frequently they come up.
Federal Funding Threat
Cincinnati's federal funding is on the line because an Ohio senator is unhappy with the city's brand-new economic department. If this goes south, it could seriously mess with local budgets and stall major projects around town.
Capital Improvement Program and Fiscal Realignment
Financial advisors presented an analysis showing Cincinnati has about $84 million in net additional debt affordability for capital projects over the next five years while maintaining strong credit ratings and responsible debt policies.
Tax Levy
Cincinnati voters are facing a new tax levy on their ballots that will pay for major city building upgrades, though local opponents are fighting it. If it passes, expect to see changes in your property tax bill to fund these municipal projects.
Tax Increase
Cincinnati's mayor wants to raise your income tax to pay for new police programs and anti-gun violence initiatives. If it passes, your paycheck is going to take a small hit to fund these safety measures.
