Speaker 1: It's seven oh six fifty five kr c DE talk
Speaker 1: station in studio and it's great having him back in
Speaker 1: the studio Corey Bowman and find him online at Corey
Speaker 1: Bowman dot com. Because you're a resident of the city
Speaker 1: of Cincinnati, you do have a choice. You don't have
Speaker 1: to continue banging your head against the wall. The definition
Speaker 1: of stupidity is doing the same thing over and over
Speaker 1: again expecting a different outcome. And that's in the case
Speaker 1: with the city of Cincinnati for the last forty years,
Speaker 1: exclusively Democrat run Corey Bowman, It's great to see.
Speaker 2: You, great to be here. Thank you so much for
Speaker 2: having me.
Speaker 1: Brian, happy to be happy to do it and happy
Speaker 1: to talk with you. And one of first off start off.
Speaker 1: If Corey has to end the segment, he's planning on
Speaker 1: spending the full hour in the studio. But a shout
Speaker 1: out to his beautiful wife Jordan. Today's the official due date.
Speaker 2: Yesterday was oh, yesterday today was yeah. So we are
Speaker 2: do with our fourth child, the third boy. So I
Speaker 2: still have my princess that I can, you know, spoil
Speaker 2: and let the boys just run around. But yeah, she
Speaker 2: was due yesterday. But yeah, we basically take it day
Speaker 2: by day with that. So I'm watching my phone very closely.
Speaker 1: I know you got your phone out, and it's not
Speaker 1: it's not out of disrespect for our conversations, but the
Speaker 1: call may very well come in.
Speaker 3: You know.
Speaker 1: It's funny because both of our children and we stopped
Speaker 1: it too, which I thought was enough. I grew up
Speaker 1: in a family and my sister and I that was it,
Speaker 1: and that was enough for my mom and dad. But
Speaker 1: both of them were a month early. It was just
Speaker 1: out of nowhere. My wife and are getting ready to
Speaker 1: settle down, and I think we were going to play
Speaker 1: a game of Monopoly or something that when when our
Speaker 1: son and you know, she's outside getting ready to come
Speaker 1: back inside, and that's when the water broke. Is like,
Speaker 1: holy cow. We didn't even have We had nothing by
Speaker 1: way of supplies in the house. There were no diapers
Speaker 1: or you know, blankets or everything else that you need
Speaker 1: to care for a baby. So we had to run around,
Speaker 1: scramble and get all that stuff. But before we brought
Speaker 1: him home, but out of nowhere, and then the same
Speaker 1: thing happened with my daughter.
Speaker 2: All my kids were two weeks late from what we've
Speaker 2: done in the previous so We basically are just on
Speaker 2: call right now until whenever the baby shows up. We're
Speaker 2: ready for anything.
Speaker 1: Well, you know, I always think about that when and
Speaker 1: I don't want to go down a conversation about abortion.
Speaker 1: When it comes to late term abortion, I'm thinking to myself,
Speaker 1: both of my kids were fully baked at eight months.
Speaker 1: They were ready to hit the ground running. They were
Speaker 1: done over with, they wanted out, and they were healthy
Speaker 1: as they could be. So you know that's reality right there.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I know you have timing on you know
Speaker 2: what the average is. But every woman, I tell my wife,
Speaker 2: every oven is different, you know. So yeah, some cook
Speaker 2: them a little bit hotter, some cook them a little
Speaker 2: bit lower, And so you gotta let each woman basically
Speaker 2: do it the way that they need to exactly.
Speaker 1: And you know, I imagine for a baby, it's a
Speaker 1: pretty comfortable environment. Everything's taken care of.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I wouldn't want to come out.
Speaker 1: Mind poor opposite. Anyhow, Coreybowman dot com and remind folks
Speaker 1: he could use the help in terms of a donation.
Speaker 1: If you want to donate some you want to learn
Speaker 1: about his campaign philosophy and what his principles are, Maybe
Speaker 1: get a yard sign and put it in your yard.
Speaker 1: Anything you can do to help Cory out. I think
Speaker 1: it'll be a wonderful thing because we I think we
Speaker 1: need a change.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, well we're under one and forty eight. We're
Speaker 2: actually one hundred and thirty eight days away from the
Speaker 2: November election, and so time flying. Yeah, and so time
Speaker 2: is flying, but we do have some time to let
Speaker 2: people know at least that there is an election. You know,
Speaker 2: I was asked by a local newspaper recently, you know,
Speaker 2: how do we feel about the primary? I said, my
Speaker 2: biggest takeaway from the primary is that we only had
Speaker 2: about eight percent voter turnout, and so we've got to
Speaker 2: get people involved. I think that you know, that has
Speaker 2: to speak louder than anything else, is that people want
Speaker 2: to be involved in these elections. Myself included. This is
Speaker 2: something from a city perspective, somebody that's lived in the city.
Speaker 2: We have to realize that all of us half the
Speaker 2: parts to play in this.
Speaker 1: Yes, we do, and you know, you and I have
Speaker 1: talked about the situation in Hyde Park. Of course, this
Speaker 1: is the ballot initiative to give the citizens an opportunity
Speaker 1: to vote on their own and chart their own destiny.
Speaker 1: Rather than having the destiny of their neighborhood being shoved
Speaker 1: down their throats by a city council and the current mayor.
Speaker 1: I was really hoping and praying that that would net
Speaker 1: you some support. Corey Bowman. Didn't force this development on
Speaker 1: Hide Park, and Corey Bowman, as I understand, it wouldn't
Speaker 1: have forced this development down the residence of Hyde Park's throats.
Speaker 1: You would allow the residents of Hyde Park to choose
Speaker 1: their own destiny, much in the way a bond Hill
Speaker 1: probably feels. And all the other neighborhoods who rose up
Speaker 1: and in defiance of city council voted to get this
Speaker 1: on the ballot so they could control their own destiny.
Speaker 1: I mean it's a cautionary tale for these current city
Speaker 1: council members and the mayor. And I think it's the
Speaker 1: illustration of the failure of representative government.
Speaker 2: Well yeah, what you said, representative government. And you know
Speaker 2: I was in the City Hall whenever they had the
Speaker 2: meetings and had the initial vote for the rezoning of
Speaker 2: this project. And when you have hundreds of people, one
Speaker 2: after another, stopping on this microphone to voice their overwhelming
Speaker 2: opposition toward this project. These are members of the community.
Speaker 2: These aren't just people that have been flown in. These
Speaker 2: are people that are very very much involved in the community.
Speaker 2: And then on top of that, you have a petition
Speaker 2: of over four thousand signatures of city residents that are
Speaker 2: saying we are opposing this, and then you look and
Speaker 2: you vote seven to two in opposition of that community.
Speaker 2: That's something that I'm trying to tell people is that
Speaker 2: I know that we're very polarized in our politics in
Speaker 2: this nation, but this campaign that we're running is for
Speaker 2: the city of Cincinnati. We're running on city issues because
Speaker 2: that's what's important to people. And one thing that I
Speaker 2: learned through this whole process of researching this development in
Speaker 2: Hyde Park is that the voices of the community council,
Speaker 2: not the city council. Right, community councils are not being
Speaker 2: heard properly and even considered. From that I gather and
Speaker 2: if anything, I've been in these meanings of the community councils.
Speaker 2: These are the members that care the most about their communities.
Speaker 2: They're the ones that actually should be talked to when
Speaker 2: it comes to where should we put speed humps, if
Speaker 2: any where should we put these, Where should we improve
Speaker 2: the streets, Where should we do these these community councils
Speaker 2: have an invaluable opinion that is based in their local
Speaker 2: involvement in their neighborhoods, and I think that that's something
Speaker 2: that we need to start taking more action toward.
Speaker 3: Amen.
Speaker 1: They live there, they know what goes on day to day.
Speaker 1: You know, local government is really important, it's most effective.
Speaker 1: This is, you know, one of the reasons why I
Speaker 1: reject decisions being made in Washington, d C. Which impact
Speaker 1: my day to day life. No, they're so far removed
Speaker 1: from the realities of each individual person. Nonetheless, that each
Speaker 1: individual community the city, since they made up of multiple
Speaker 1: different communities, each with their own struggles and challenges and needs,
Speaker 1: and often inconsistent in their challenges and needs. High Park
Speaker 1: is nothing like bond Hill.
Speaker 2: No, no, And but the thing is is that they've
Speaker 2: already had these policies shoved down the throats of people
Speaker 2: and other neighborhoods. Just so happens that Hyde Park has
Speaker 2: the resources and the grit to be able to fight back.
Speaker 3: Point.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 2: So this vote that makes the ballot in November, if
Speaker 2: it still carries on through that, I would encourage everybody
Speaker 2: to know that this isn't just a vote for Hyde Park.
Speaker 2: This is a vote for all of the neighborhoods of Cincinnati,
Speaker 2: because there's many neighborhoods that haven't had the fees for
Speaker 2: the lawyers, or haven't had the ability to fight where
Speaker 2: the organizational structure in their community councils, but they're still
Speaker 2: being taken advantage of. And it's all about this high
Speaker 2: density housing. It's always about this. You're only zoning what
Speaker 2: we want you to zone for. It's not about the
Speaker 2: community developers, it's not about the community councils. It's not
Speaker 2: about the people and the residents of these neighborhoods. It's
Speaker 2: about this is our over we're all vision that we
Speaker 2: have as your elected officials, and you just need to
Speaker 2: fall in line with it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's just like Agenda twenty one stuff. The Connected
Speaker 1: Communities is an illustration to that, and you know that
Speaker 1: you got to start with that. That was an insult
Speaker 1: to all of the entire city of Cincinnati. This is
Speaker 1: what we are laying upon you, connected communities. This is
Speaker 1: what you're gonna have to do if you want to
Speaker 1: build something that's got to be in aligned with this
Speaker 1: Connected Communities program. Period and a story and then until
Speaker 1: a well connected developer puts its hand up and says,
Speaker 1: I need a waiver so I can put in a
Speaker 1: giant apartment building and a giant hotel in High Park,
Speaker 1: and they ignore their their their their their connection with
Speaker 1: this environmentally correct walking community concept of connecting community is like, oh, okay,
Speaker 1: well connected developer. I wonder if there was any money
Speaker 1: involved in that, Corey.
Speaker 4: You know?
Speaker 2: Well, well, so, I'm reminded of this book that we
Speaker 2: read when we were a little called give a mouse
Speaker 2: a cookie and they and they're going to want a
Speaker 2: glass of milk. It's this story. A lot of people
Speaker 2: actually don't know about this book. I don't know.
Speaker 3: I just read it so many times.
Speaker 2: So kind of like that and Where the Wild Things Are?
Speaker 2: These are two books that, like, we just read NonStop.
Speaker 1: My mom used to read Where the Wild Things Are
Speaker 1: to me, that's the whole book.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I love those. But the thing is is that
Speaker 2: the premise of this story is that this mouse asked
Speaker 2: for a cookie, and then once this kid gives the
Speaker 2: mouse a cookie, who he says, can I have a
Speaker 2: glass of milk?
Speaker 4: Well?
Speaker 2: Can I have a straw? Can I have a napkin?
Speaker 2: Can I have this it's like every single time you
Speaker 2: give it, you think this is going to be the
Speaker 2: final thing that you have to give this mouse, and
Speaker 2: also you just ask for something more. And that's really
Speaker 2: what it's like with these elected officials and connected developers,
Speaker 2: if you want to call them, is that these people
Speaker 2: are always just asking for more, and they're always pushing
Speaker 2: the boundary. And I think that the time needs to
Speaker 2: come to where they need to start listening more to
Speaker 2: the individuals in their neighborhoods.
Speaker 1: Hey Man, well can continue with Corey Bowman in studio
Speaker 1: unless he gets a phone call from his wife. It's
Speaker 1: seven fifteen. I have carecy Detok station. Let me mention
Speaker 1: plumb type plumbing because if you have a plumbing issue
Speaker 1: or problem you need some plumbing work done, you're in
Speaker 1: the best possible hands. With plumb type plumbing. They know
Speaker 1: you deserve better. They deliver on that with superior customer service,
Speaker 1: never charging a service fee, providing free estimates. That's why
Speaker 1: they enjoin a A plus the better business bearer. The price
Speaker 1: is always right and the work is always superior. So
Speaker 1: don't worry about calling plumb tight. They'll take great care
Speaker 1: of you like they have for me. In emergency situations
Speaker 1: on as well. Tankless water heaters are the number one
Speaker 1: installer of tankless in the Tri State and it's a
Speaker 1: great reason to go tankless. First off, space savings. You
Speaker 1: may not care about it, but you can get rid
Speaker 1: of that entire giant hot water heater tank and put
Speaker 1: a unit about the size of a suitcase hanging on
Speaker 1: the wall, which provides unlimited hot water. Never run out
Speaker 1: of hot water with a tankless and lower energy bills. Yeah,
Speaker 1: traditional water heaters keep a tank water hot twenty four
Speaker 1: hours a day, seven days a week. Tankless only heats
Speaker 1: the water when you need it, which means less energy
Speaker 1: waste than real savings over time, and they last longer
Speaker 1: than a traditional tank as well. So multiple reasons go tankless.
Speaker 1: And if you go tankless, go with plumb tight plumbing.
Speaker 1: It's plumbing done right. They live with that motto seven
Speaker 1: two seven eighty four eighty three seven two seven Tight
Speaker 1: of course five one three seven two seven Tight online,

Speaker 1: is running for the mayor of the city Cincinnati and
Speaker 1: his wife is listening and she corrected him, No, today
Speaker 1: is actually the due date, not yesterday. So Corey lost
Speaker 1: track of what day of the week it is, and
Speaker 1: we're hoping for the best for Jordan. And props to you, Jordan.
Speaker 1: This is number four. She knows what to do. She's
Speaker 1: been down this road before. Anyway, Moving over to mayoral topics,
Speaker 1: let's talk about crime. I was looking at the proposed
Speaker 1: budget and a bunch of line items that I don't understand,
Speaker 1: and a bunch of non governmental organizations which have their
Speaker 1: hand in the trough. Not sure what they're out there
Speaker 1: doing in the world, on the heels of my rant
Speaker 1: about my taxpayer dollars being used to fund political activism,
Speaker 1: which I find absolutely offensive and not part of what
Speaker 1: government should be. Sorry, had to go down that road again,
Speaker 1: but there seems to be a lot of that going on.
Speaker 1: But in so far as the police is concerned in crime,
Speaker 1: and I know this is an important topic to you.
Speaker 1: You live in the West End, you know about crime,
Speaker 1: and you have talked to a bunch of police officers
Speaker 1: of late.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and so you know, whenever we announced this race,
Speaker 2: I asked everybody what their biggest issues were. And as
Speaker 2: we started developing our policies, developing you know what we
Speaker 2: want to stand on, which I mean we stand on things,
Speaker 2: as you know, as part of our character as par
Speaker 2: as what we believe, but you have to have practical
Speaker 2: application of it. You have to be able to give
Speaker 2: people a plan of This is what we will do
Speaker 2: from day one of being mayor. And one of the
Speaker 2: biggest things that we're seeing right now in our city
Speaker 2: is that there is an uptick in crime. There's an
Speaker 2: uptick in a lot of things that are going on
Speaker 2: in our community. If you live downtown, you know that
Speaker 2: the the statement crime is down couldn't be farther from
Speaker 2: the truth. And there are certain key issues that are
Speaker 2: happening in our city right now that we have to address,
Speaker 2: and one of one of it has to be with
Speaker 2: the understaffed police department that's happening right now and the
Speaker 2: lack of morale and the lack of proper recruitment that's
Speaker 2: been happening over the past few years. And a lot
Speaker 2: of this is catching up to us. Like like I said,
Speaker 2: I've talked with a lot of police officers. Many of
Speaker 2: them will come into our coffee shop and I don't
Speaker 2: push my agenda on I say, hey, what's going on
Speaker 2: in your department, what's going on from the police department standpoint,
Speaker 2: and we're the biggest the biggest things that we can fix.
Speaker 2: And I've repeated this over and over. I think the
Speaker 2: biggest thing that we have to focus on is the
Speaker 2: relationship between the community and the police officers. There's been
Speaker 2: a huge divide between the local law enforcement, the officers
Speaker 2: that are there to protect and ser our community, which
Speaker 2: I've talked to them. They have a heart for our city,
Speaker 2: they have a heart for the community. They want to
Speaker 2: be in harm's way to be able to protect the
Speaker 2: people that they love. But then at the same time,
Speaker 2: the city and the communities that they serve, there's this
Speaker 2: disconnect because a lot of these policies that are in place,
Speaker 2: when we see the three to one one, when we
Speaker 2: see the ARC programs, when we see from the top down,
Speaker 2: the culture that's being set that the police officers are
Speaker 2: only there for worst case scenario. It creates this disparity
Speaker 2: and a lot of the morale of the police officers
Speaker 2: has been lost.
Speaker 1: Well, that's the development from the defund the police movement.
Speaker 1: This is a fringe element that has the loudest, squeakiest
Speaker 1: wheel and is among you know, that fringe element that's
Speaker 1: taken over the Democratic Party. You know, I've talked to
Speaker 1: many people and I can't remember who I just talked
Speaker 1: with the other day, Position of Authority, and oh it
Speaker 1: was FOP president.
Speaker 3: He was on the programs at Canday Yeah can.
Speaker 1: Cover, And I asked him, you know, if you're a
Speaker 1: be patrol officer and you're out there, how are you
Speaker 1: generally received by the communities that you serve and they
Speaker 1: say they want us there. I mean, they want police presence,
Speaker 1: they want safety. They are not against the police. It's
Speaker 1: that really just irks me to go in that the
Speaker 1: voice that's elevated is the small minority of the people
Speaker 1: who think police are inherently evil and bad and that
Speaker 1: there should be a different way of doing things.
Speaker 2: No. Absolutely, And what we're seeing in the city right
Speaker 2: now at the moment that the temperatures start rising, the
Speaker 2: moment that the summer months start happening, well, then the
Speaker 2: crime starts going up. These shootings go up. I'm sure
Speaker 2: many of the listeners are aware. But there was a
Speaker 2: stabbing that took place a couple of weeks ago with
Speaker 2: Patrick Harric.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: And the thing is that this brought light to a
Speaker 2: lot of different issues that people in OTR are going through.
Speaker 2: But here's something that happened too. Not only do we
Speaker 2: need to recognize what happened with Patrick Harringer, but there's
Speaker 2: a man named Charles Smith who was in the North
Speaker 2: Side area, South Cummingsville area that what happened was on
Speaker 2: Friday night. Basically for the sake of optics, really, a
Speaker 2: lot of these officers were taken from their districts and
Speaker 2: put into OTR to make sure they look like they
Speaker 2: were covering the area. Well, some of the districts that
Speaker 2: were suffering because of this on that night was South
Speaker 2: Cummingsville and North Side. Well, then there's a man he's
Speaker 2: a Veteran's he's a Navy veteran and he worked at
Speaker 2: the Via Medical Center for over twenty five years. Charles
Speaker 2: Smith is his name, and he was murdered that night
Speaker 2: as well, just because of lack of the proper policing
Speaker 2: or the proper patrols that were put in the area.
Speaker 2: And that was just an administrative error on the chief's part.
Speaker 2: To be able to say from optics over outcomes is
Speaker 2: what we've been saying, Well.
Speaker 1: There should be police in every neighborhood all the time.
Speaker 1: And I know that having a police presence doesn't prevent
Speaker 1: crime from happening necessarily, but the optics of having regular
Speaker 1: patrols and police departments around does have a calming effect
Speaker 1: and does serve as a warning shot over the balist
Speaker 1: one you might commit a crime like well, there's a
Speaker 1: cop right there, or I'm going to get arrested because
Speaker 1: the cop is going to be here within minutes and
Speaker 1: I'm not going to have a chance to get away. No,
Speaker 1: that's not really the case. When seconds counts, the police
Speaker 1: will be there in maybe an hour six seven twenty six.
Speaker 1: Will continue with Corey Bowman. Got to take quick break
Speaker 1: care mention my good friends at USA Installation. What a
Speaker 1: great product. I've been talking return on investment in you know,

Speaker 1: Coreybowman dot com mayor OL candidate Corey Bowman running as
Speaker 1: a Republican a city of Cincinnati, which I knowics people
Speaker 1: say like, well, God, it's is this is an impossible challenge,
Speaker 1: and I think he's up to the challenge. Got some
Speaker 1: good ideas and if you're unhappy with the current administration,
Speaker 1: like for my friends, in Hyde Park and Bond Hill
Speaker 1: and other places where they don't listen to you and
Speaker 1: they do whatever the hell they want and run right
Speaker 1: over you. Maybe the misallocation of taxpayer dollars defunding all
Speaker 1: these non governmental organizations to do stuff and things in
Speaker 1: the community, maybe that's roving you the wrong way. Then
Speaker 1: then don't vote for the status quo. And I said,
Speaker 1: give Corey a shot and see how he handles things.
Speaker 1: Vote for different council members and see how they handle things.
Speaker 1: And this is what elections are all about. So you
Speaker 1: need to show up and and and vote for a
Speaker 1: different direction. Because I honestly, Corey, when I say that,
Speaker 1: I'm surprised that really that many people in the City
Speaker 1: of Cincinnati think that we're under responsible government. I mean
Speaker 1: to the extent people are paying attention, you know, they're
Speaker 1: wondering why their road hasn't ever been fixed?
Speaker 3: What the hell is?
Speaker 2: You know?
Speaker 1: Why is all the And I saw some of the
Speaker 1: line items in the budget that came out the other day.
Speaker 1: At least that we're proposed, I'm not sure if it's
Speaker 1: solidified and it's done it over with. But again, all
Speaker 1: these organizations out there that I don't even have any
Speaker 1: concept of what they do. They got some nebulous name,
Speaker 1: and you're like, why are they getting all that money?
Speaker 1: Jam Michelle a Vice mayor Kearney complaining about additional million
Speaker 1: dollars going into replacing some of the the the the
Speaker 1: the the fleet of vehicles, which apparently is in a
Speaker 1: complete state to disarray.
Speaker 2: That's huge.
Speaker 3: That's a huge amount of money.
Speaker 2: About every officer that I've talked to, you know, has
Speaker 2: made a complaint about that.
Speaker 1: So that's actually police vehicles, fire vehicles, snow removal, all
Speaker 1: that kind of stuff. I get half of it is
Speaker 1: out of commission or in need of being replaced. So well,
Speaker 1: I can't remember which council member voted to for an
Speaker 1: additional one million dollars, and she's complaining that it should
Speaker 1: go to what sounded to me like non governmental organizations.
Speaker 1: Never did articulate what she thought it could be used for,
Speaker 1: but it needs to go for better use. We can't
Speaker 1: even buy a fire truck with a million dollars, So
Speaker 1: why would we even allocate that extra money to vehicle
Speaker 1: replacement when in fact, half of the vehicles that the
Speaker 1: city owns are out of commission or getting close to
Speaker 1: the end of life, are already at the end of life.
Speaker 2: Well, this so I want to go back to actually,
Speaker 2: like us first starting the church in the West cent
Speaker 2: of Cincinnati. A lot of people say, oh, well, he's
Speaker 2: just a pastor, he's just you know, coffee shop, bone
Speaker 2: or whatever. But there's things that we've learned or at
Speaker 2: least at least had to have the administ of know
Speaker 2: how to be able to run something successfully. There is
Speaker 2: one thing that as a church we've experienced a lot
Speaker 2: is that there's a lot of whether it be funding
Speaker 2: or a lot of resources, a lot of donations, a
Speaker 2: lot of things that are available to people in the community.
Speaker 2: It's the facilitation of distributing it that's been the issue.
Speaker 2: A lot of people have these things available, a lot
Speaker 2: of these funds, a lot of these resources available, they
Speaker 2: just don't know the proper ways of getting it in
Speaker 2: the hands of the right people of the community. Right.
Speaker 2: This is something so like an example this and I'm
Speaker 2: getting somewhere with this from the political standpoint, but we
Speaker 2: have a Christmas outreach every year, right, So this is
Speaker 2: what we've done in the past years is we just
Speaker 2: asked people for toy giveaways, donations, and we distribute to
Speaker 2: the community because we have relationships with a lot of
Speaker 2: these apartment complexes or a lot of these places where
Speaker 2: we know where the people are in need. We're not
Speaker 2: just filtering it through an organization. We put it right
Speaker 2: to the people that are in need of it. Well,
Speaker 2: then we partnered with a local school this last Christmas
Speaker 2: because they said, we've got all the resources coming in
Speaker 2: as far as donations, We've got you know, whether it
Speaker 2: be toys for Tots, whether it be FC Foundation, We've
Speaker 2: got all these different foundations that want to get on board.
Speaker 2: But it's about the distribution of it. It's about helping
Speaker 2: facilitate it. I was like, well, we've got that, we've
Speaker 2: got a building, we can store the stuff, and we'll
Speaker 2: make sure that it gets into the right hands. And
Speaker 2: so I feel like the city, for the sake of
Speaker 2: just looking like they care about the community, is filtering
Speaker 2: a lot of this money through organizations because in their
Speaker 2: mind they're thinking that's the only way that we know
Speaker 2: how to get it into the hands of the community. Well,
Speaker 2: the first thing in the budget is that you have
Speaker 2: to take care of just the basic necessities of the city,
Speaker 2: which is like what you just said, The streets. It's
Speaker 2: our the vehicles of our police officers, our fire trucks
Speaker 2: are snowplows. I mean, there's a major deficit when it
Speaker 2: comes to just updating our equipment for our public services
Speaker 2: right now. So that's public it has to be it,
Speaker 2: it wouldn't. I mean, it's it's one thing to help people,
Speaker 2: it's another thing to like, these are your primary city jobs,
Speaker 2: in my opinion, is safe streets, clean streets, and properly
Speaker 2: paved streets, if that makes sense. Your your job is
Speaker 2: the streets and so on top of that exactly. And
Speaker 2: so if you have the funds to be able to
Speaker 2: help community organizations like this, I think that there's just
Speaker 2: this big disconnect between elected city officials and the community.
Speaker 2: I think that, in my mind, the community councils, the
Speaker 2: people that are the boots on the ground, so to speak.
Speaker 2: These are the people that are actually gonna know how
Speaker 2: to get it into the right hands or get these
Speaker 2: resources into the right the right people, if that makes
Speaker 2: sense of need. So there is a way of helping
Speaker 2: the community out, But I think that the priority needs
Speaker 2: to kind of shift to the practical side of snowplows
Speaker 2: and cars and fire truck vehicles and stuff like that.
Speaker 3: We'll continue with Corey Bowman.
Speaker 1: Be right back, Xeph for these brief words beginning with
Speaker 1: a huge props and thumbs up and strong recommendation.
Speaker 3: Everybody needs to see a dentist.
Speaker 1: You've got to go to the dentist, whether you like
Speaker 1: it or not, but you want to be in the
Speaker 1: best possible hands, and you are in the best possible
Speaker 1: hands for all things dentistry with doctors Peck and Freu,
Speaker 1: Fred Pack and Megan Frew. And you know, I've been
Speaker 1: going to their practice for years and years and years.
Speaker 1: Doctor Fru joined I guess probably within the last two years.
Speaker 1: But doctor Fred Peck a demonstrably superior dentist for all reasons.
Speaker 1: He's always insisted on being in the most state of
Speaker 1: the art dental clinic for the benefit of his patients,
Speaker 1: of course, but a fellow with the American Academy of
Speaker 1: Cosmetic Dentistry, a real genius. I've been calling him a
Speaker 1: genius for years because I've seen the before and after
Speaker 1: pictures of his transformative, life changing cosmetic dentistry. So if
Speaker 1: you are in the market or don't like your smile,
Speaker 1: you need to consult with doctors Peck and Frue. She's
Speaker 1: on her way to accreditation, so you get her fresh
Speaker 1: perspective with his years of experience, and you'll end up
Speaker 1: with a stunning smile makeover. But in terms of general dentistry,
Speaker 1: you couldn't be in the best. You couldn't be in
Speaker 1: better hands. And I've my listeners who've seen doctor Frew
Speaker 1: just absolutely love her. Not the discount, Fred Pack, I
Speaker 1: love you, Fred. Doctor Frew is adored by her patients
Speaker 1: and you'll love her and doctor Fred Peck as well.

Speaker 4: Check ingram on fifty five KR. See the talk station.
Speaker 1: At seven forty one. Right now fifty five k C
Speaker 1: the talk station Brian Thomas with instudio Corey Bowman. Let's
Speaker 1: get a phone call from his wife, Jordan, saying, Hey,
Speaker 1: the baby's coming. It is the day, Jordan, wishing you
Speaker 1: all the best of luck with that the impending birth
Speaker 1: of number four, and congratulations of both of you, and
Speaker 1: I know you're really excited about it. We're all excited
Speaker 1: about Corey Bowman running from Aaron and hope Corey does
Speaker 1: a good job, and hope that people actually get off
Speaker 1: their butts and go out and vote. One of the
Speaker 1: bigger challenges at actually getting people to go to the
Speaker 1: go in on election day or vote ahead of time. Hell,
Speaker 1: we've got a window of opportunity a month long in advance,
Speaker 1: people can actually cast the vote. And again, going back
Speaker 1: to my friends in Hyde Park and Bond Hill and
Speaker 1: other neighborhoods who can't ConTroll theer own direction because the
Speaker 1: city in Cincinnati won't listen to you, don't do it again. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it seems like I such a simple solution, don't do
Speaker 1: it again. But moving over to other matters, I guess
Speaker 1: in terms of prioritization, you already mentioned the key priorities
Speaker 1: for any city and governance is safety and infrastructure. And
Speaker 1: I know you've had experience at least in terms of
Speaker 1: pivoting over to development. And I'm not sure with this
Speaker 1: Connected Communities program in place, since council voted for that,
Speaker 1: how much control a mayor would have if you are
Speaker 1: dealing with a council that's still pro connected communities. But
Speaker 1: one thing I know you know about, and maybe there
Speaker 1: is something that can be done notwithstanding what that proposal
Speaker 1: stands for, is standing in the way of development. I mean,
Speaker 1: you live in the West End and you've you've seen
Speaker 1: it firsthand. And you know, I go back to my
Speaker 1: experience back when the late Elmer Hensler was complaining about
Speaker 1: he wanted to expand his meat packing plan. You know,
Speaker 1: there's nothing over there but industry. It's not like he's
Speaker 1: changing a neighborhood from a residential community into a factory.
Speaker 3: He just wanted to expand it. It took him forever.
Speaker 2: That's why that's the case with a lot of people.
Speaker 2: You know, when when it comes to my background, you know,
Speaker 2: in that a lot of my family growing up were
Speaker 2: either custom homebuilders or developers, and so I just saw
Speaker 2: that firsthand. I actually, you know, had many family members
Speaker 2: that went through the two thousand and eight housing crisis
Speaker 2: and saw the implications of that. One thing about development
Speaker 2: is that there's always different phases or different levels of development.
Speaker 2: And I think that one of the key things about
Speaker 2: our say that makes it great is utilizing our local developers,
Speaker 2: the ones that actually have a heart for the city.
Speaker 2: There's so many people that or businesses that can maybe
Speaker 2: flip or revitalize one or two properties at a time,
Speaker 2: and for people like this, it's very hard to kind
Speaker 2: of get ahead of the game. Like one of one
Speaker 2: of my friends who's actually developing property that's across the
Speaker 2: street from our coffee shop. Took them three years to
Speaker 2: be able to just break ground on the construction. They
Speaker 2: put a lot of money into it, put a lot
Speaker 2: of effort into it. Once they got the go ahead,
Speaker 2: I'm telling you, I've never seen cruise work faster. And
Speaker 2: I looked at him, I said, what that you know,
Speaker 2: I've never seen people work this fast on construction. He's like,
Speaker 2: we've been waiting for three years. I've had everything ready
Speaker 2: for three years. And after talking with him, I realized
Speaker 2: that there's kind of two sides of this coin. On
Speaker 2: one side, you have whether it be the permits, whether
Speaker 2: it be the zoning, whether it be getting the you know,
Speaker 2: the blessing, and you kiss the ring of those the
Speaker 2: powers that be to make sure that you can develop
Speaker 2: it the way that they see fits. But then also
Speaker 2: a lot of these developers or business owners are trying
Speaker 2: to take advantage of as many tax credits or incentives
Speaker 2: that they can, and not necessarily because they're lazy or
Speaker 2: trying to just cheat the system, but because they need
Speaker 2: to find some way to be profitable in the city,
Speaker 2: whether it be through taxes or all that stuff as well,
Speaker 2: and so we've got to do everything we can to
Speaker 2: help these small time local developers.
Speaker 1: Well, it seems to me to have the pro development
Speaker 1: mindset in the forefront of everything the city does. I mean,
Speaker 1: it sounds like so much of the permitting process and
Speaker 1: this three year window at least for that, and I
Speaker 1: think it was probably even longer for Elmer Dude to
Speaker 1: build out his business back in the day. That's not
Speaker 1: what they're in favor of what they are are they
Speaker 1: view their role as to be an obstructionist. I mean,
Speaker 1: that's kind of what comes across as the mindset. It
Speaker 1: seems to me that they should be involved in outreach. Okay,
Speaker 1: I want this project to move forward. What's the hold up?
Speaker 1: What are you looking for? Facilitating the prompt development?
Speaker 2: What you just said is key facilitate the role of
Speaker 2: local government outside of making sure that you do the
Speaker 2: basic services and you make sure that you're taking care
Speaker 2: of the people. But you're there to facilitate growth. You're
Speaker 2: not there to dictate growth. Yeah, there's a difference. Facilitate
Speaker 2: is Hey, we've got community developers, we've got local businesses,
Speaker 2: we've got local community councils, we have this thing called
Speaker 2: you know this, the neighborhoods that we have fifty two
Speaker 2: neighborhoods in Cincinnati. These people know what direction they want
Speaker 2: their communities to go. Our job is to facilitate that
Speaker 2: growth and that potential as much as we can. But
Speaker 2: the initiatives, like the Connected Communities. This is the argument
Speaker 2: that they'll say, is that all, well, he says he's
Speaker 2: for development, But that's exactly what connected communities is. No,
Speaker 2: it's not. Connected communities is a trojan horse for all
Speaker 2: the policies that they want to implement over it. And
Speaker 2: it's only the ones that kiss the ring. It's only
Speaker 2: the developers that are connected or have their hands in
Speaker 2: the pockets of the city that are going to benefit
Speaker 2: from it. Now, many of these developers aren't necessarily evil,
Speaker 2: they're just playing.
Speaker 3: The game to be off. Amen.
Speaker 2: So I'm not against these big time developers. I'm not.
Speaker 2: I'm against the dictatorship of local government saying you can
Speaker 2: only build this, you can't build this when the community
Speaker 2: needs this development to be quicker.
Speaker 1: Four seven forty six, I'm gonna have been seven forty seven,

Speaker 1: day or down the road a couple of weeks, doesn't
Speaker 1: matter anyway. We're hoping for the best. But Corey, you're
Speaker 1: committed to the city. You lived out of the state
Speaker 1: for a while but came back to what you what
Speaker 1: is always has been your home. You're committed, You're a
Speaker 1: business owner, you have your church in the West End.
Speaker 1: You know about the needs in the city, the impediments
Speaker 1: that people face, and yet it's to be a bit
Speaker 1: heartbreaking and a bit of a challenge because I know
Speaker 1: you've run into people that will raise their hand. I
Speaker 1: used to live in the city, but I got the
Speaker 1: hell out or you know, like west Side Jim Kiefer,
Speaker 1: I mean, he's committed in the city of Cincinnati, but
Speaker 1: he feels like he's stuck. You know, I'd love to
Speaker 1: get out, but I can't because I can't get what
Speaker 1: my I think my house is worth because the property
Speaker 1: values went down or something like that. There's a lot
Speaker 1: of frustration out there, but the idea that people are
Speaker 1: you know, leaving apparently more than willing to move in,
Speaker 1: is a real challenge. I mean, you've got to give
Speaker 1: people hope and optimism that you know, there is a
Speaker 1: better path forward in the city and it's worth embracing
Speaker 1: and committing to it.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I think a key aspect of this year, you know,
Speaker 2: as we get ready for the election in November, is
Speaker 2: showing people that's not just about complaining about what's wrong,
Speaker 2: but it's about also showing people that there's a bright
Speaker 2: future ahead for our city. There is hope, you know,
Speaker 2: whenever we go out on the streets or whenever we
Speaker 2: talk to people at events, Like I told you, there's
Speaker 2: one or two things that happen. Either somebody tells me, yeah,
Speaker 2: we got out of the city a long ago, we
Speaker 2: just couldn't take it anymore. Or we get people that
Speaker 2: feel like they're like the last watchman on the wall there.
Speaker 2: I was talking to a gentleman not too long ago
Speaker 2: that said, I'm not leaving this city. I care too
Speaker 2: much about this city. I care too much about what's
Speaker 2: going on but my family's been in you know, Price
Speaker 2: Hill for one hundred and twenty years, and you know,
Speaker 2: I'm the last one in my family to be in
Speaker 2: the area and still be in the city. So like,
Speaker 2: there's this remnant of people that basically say, we're not leaving,
Speaker 2: we care too much about our city. But you have
Speaker 2: to see hope because what you're seeing with the crime,
Speaker 2: the infrastructure, and the way the budget is being handled,
Speaker 2: there's there's not really a lot of hope for for
Speaker 2: people like that. Well, I just basically want to convey
Speaker 2: that if we it might be a big ship and
Speaker 2: it can turn on a little rudder. There might be
Speaker 2: certain things that we need to do this year to
Speaker 2: be able to help us steer in the right direction,
Speaker 2: but there is a bright future ahead for our city.
Speaker 2: I'm not here to say that since any's a hell hole,
Speaker 2: that I'm here to fix everything. I'm here to say
Speaker 2: I'm raising my family in the city. I really believe
Speaker 2: it's the greatest city on the face of the earth.
Speaker 2: There's key things that if we do it properly and
Speaker 2: we do things practically, that there is going to be
Speaker 2: an amazing future for our kids that are living in
Speaker 2: the city. There's gonna be an amazing hope for the
Speaker 2: generations that are in our city, for those that are
Speaker 2: either on one side of the economic spectrum or the other,
Speaker 2: there's gonna be a lot of opportunity. And we can
Speaker 2: see that if we all kind of get together behind
Speaker 2: this of saying, hey, times need to change.
Speaker 1: Yeah, time needs to change. And you know, projecting optimism
Speaker 1: and along those lines is I think a very beneficial thing.
Speaker 1: But you know, you're aware of things and like crime,
Speaker 1: and I believe the current administration is trying to project
Speaker 1: a hopeful and positive imaging, but they're whitewashing the whole
Speaker 1: concept that crime, for example, is down. I'd rather be
Speaker 1: frank with the people and then them saying, listen, we
Speaker 1: are aware of crime. We're aware of the statistics we know,
Speaker 1: like example, over the Rhine is illustrated by that Patrick
Speaker 1: Herringer murder is up forty six percent or something. Here's
Speaker 1: what we're going to do about it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, because when we talk to police officers, so everything
Speaker 2: has an effect not only short term but long term.
Speaker 2: And so when we talk to these police officers, a
Speaker 2: lot of times they'll say this that there was a
Speaker 2: time period of five to seven years where we really
Speaker 2: weren't recruiting, we really weren't hiring properly. Well, what happens
Speaker 2: is that that's catching up to it right now, right
Speaker 2: and you're seeing people that are retiring at a rapid rate.
Speaker 2: You're seeing a deficit when it comes to the employment.
Speaker 3: So what do we do.
Speaker 2: Do we just say give up and just keep on
Speaker 2: letting it go. No, if you implement strategies for proper hiring,
Speaker 2: proper recruitment of the police force, letting these police officers
Speaker 2: know that the city has their back, and you want
Speaker 2: to encourage them to actually get on the force, not
Speaker 2: just apply for another district or another city or another county,
Speaker 2: but they say, no, we want to be CPD because
Speaker 2: this city has our back. If you have these strategies
Speaker 2: and you have these resources allocated properly, you're going to
Speaker 2: see short term effects, but also you're going to see
Speaker 2: a long term effect of over the course of ten years,
Speaker 2: you see our city going in the positive direction on
Speaker 2: crime and then as far as jobs goes. You know,
Speaker 2: it's one thing to just give out handouts, but it's
Speaker 2: another thing to say, hey, we have an open door policy.
Speaker 2: We're going to be welcoming businesses, manufacturing, logistics, whatever, entry
Speaker 2: level jobs, whatever it might be. There's an entire west
Speaker 2: side of the city that has so much industrial potential
Speaker 2: and so much vacancy. Right now, you could be able
Speaker 2: to have some of the key businesses in America come
Speaker 2: to Cincinnati because we're within a five to six hour
Speaker 2: drive of sixty percent of America. So from a logistics
Speaker 2: and distribution standpoint, it makes sense to come to Cincinnati.
Speaker 2: If the city has this open door policy of saying
Speaker 2: we want to help facilitate that growth, then all of
Speaker 2: a sudden, over the next ten years, you're going to
Speaker 2: start seeing development in that and that needs to be
Speaker 2: in tech, that needs to be in lead industries of
Speaker 2: AI and blockchain. These industries need to be able to
Speaker 2: say that Cincinnati is the central hub of the Midwest.
Speaker 2: We can actually replace Chicago as the business central hub
Speaker 2: of the Midwest.
Speaker 1: Coreybowman dot Com find them online, help them out, and Corey,
