<v Speaker 2>It's going great.

11
00:00:41.640 --> 00:00:44.520
<v Speaker 3>We've done a lot of foundational work in the last

12
00:00:44.560 --> 00:00:47.840
<v Speaker 3>few weeks since we got certified with our signatures, and

13
00:00:47.880 --> 00:00:50.880
<v Speaker 3>we're officially having our campaign kickoff tonight.

14
00:00:51.759 --> 00:00:54.320
<v Speaker 1>All right, Well, I have to ask you out loud.

15
00:00:54.359 --> 00:00:59.159
<v Speaker 1>I know Joe Joe asked you before we started talking. Uh,

16
00:00:59.200 --> 00:01:01.920
<v Speaker 1>do you have any interesting or tweets out there that

17
00:01:01.960 --> 00:01:04.400
<v Speaker 1>you might regret from price if you're running for a

18
00:01:04.439 --> 00:01:07.840
<v Speaker 1>Republican As a Republican, you didn't buy any chance endorse

19
00:01:08.000 --> 00:01:13.319
<v Speaker 1>Democrats or push anti Trump narrators or anti Republican narratives online.

20
00:01:13.319 --> 00:01:14.439
<v Speaker 1>Did you buy any chance?

21
00:01:16.359 --> 00:01:16.480
<v Speaker 4>No?

22
00:01:16.680 --> 00:01:18.879
<v Speaker 3>I was cracking up with that joke, but no, I

23
00:01:18.920 --> 00:01:20.400
<v Speaker 3>don't think he'll be finding.

24
00:01:20.079 --> 00:01:20.560
<v Speaker 2>Any of that.

25
00:01:21.359 --> 00:01:23.719
<v Speaker 1>Glad to hear it. A problem that Brian Frank apparently

26
00:01:23.760 --> 00:01:27.079
<v Speaker 1>has run into anyway, moving away from him, and not

27
00:01:27.120 --> 00:01:28.840
<v Speaker 1>to give him any lip service, but if you want

28
00:01:28.840 --> 00:01:30.799
<v Speaker 1>to check his ex account you'll see exactly what I'm

29
00:01:30.799 --> 00:01:34.120
<v Speaker 1>talking about. Anyway, Corey, I understand you have an event

30
00:01:34.159 --> 00:01:36.920
<v Speaker 1>you want to tell people about, a kickoff campaign kickoff event.

31
00:01:37.000 --> 00:01:37.799
<v Speaker 1>Let's start there.

32
00:01:39.239 --> 00:01:42.120
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I really appreciate the opportunity to tell people about it.

33
00:01:42.760 --> 00:01:44.799
<v Speaker 3>You know, we, like I said, we've done a lot

34
00:01:44.840 --> 00:01:49.280
<v Speaker 3>of foundational work getting our branding, website, contribution, you know,

35
00:01:49.879 --> 00:01:52.560

<v Speaker 3>Merch for our first official merch of the campaign. And

48
00:02:27.360 --> 00:02:29.879
<v Speaker 3>then a lot of people been asking about, you know,

49
00:02:29.919 --> 00:02:32.599
<v Speaker 3>where we stand on certain issues. Oh yeah, we've been

50
00:02:32.840 --> 00:02:35.439
<v Speaker 3>you know, we've been doing issue we've been doing interviews

51
00:02:35.439 --> 00:02:37.479
<v Speaker 3>and stuff. But we're going to be laying out a

52
00:02:37.479 --> 00:02:39.919
<v Speaker 3>lot of very specific things tonight.

53
00:02:40.240 --> 00:02:42.199
<v Speaker 1>Well I'm glad to hear that, because that's really critical

54
00:02:42.240 --> 00:02:44.080
<v Speaker 1>to running a campaign. You got to have issues. You

55
00:02:44.120 --> 00:02:47.439
<v Speaker 1>got to talk about critical important things. What is Numero

56
00:02:47.680 --> 00:02:50.439
<v Speaker 1>uno for Corey Bowman? If you had to assess the

57
00:02:50.520 --> 00:02:54.479
<v Speaker 1>landscape and you were elected mayor what what would be

58
00:02:54.520 --> 00:02:56.639
<v Speaker 1>your first order priority?

59
00:02:57.360 --> 00:03:00.719
<v Speaker 3>Absolutely number one is money management. I'm gonna be talking

60
00:03:00.719 --> 00:03:03.360
<v Speaker 3>about that tonight. But we see what's happening with the

61
00:03:03.360 --> 00:03:06.319
<v Speaker 3>federal government. We see the abuse, the waste of the

62
00:03:06.360 --> 00:03:10.400
<v Speaker 3>corruption and what I tweeted this a while back, or

63
00:03:10.800 --> 00:03:14.000
<v Speaker 3>on the night of the presidential address, that the last

64
00:03:14.039 --> 00:03:16.759
<v Speaker 3>stand for all this corruption abuse is going to be

65
00:03:16.800 --> 00:03:20.680
<v Speaker 3>these downtown cities. And so we have to have proper

66
00:03:20.719 --> 00:03:23.719
<v Speaker 3>money management in these downtown areas. For the budget, we've

67
00:03:23.759 --> 00:03:25.960
<v Speaker 3>got to know where the money's going, and we have

68
00:03:26.080 --> 00:03:30.400
<v Speaker 3>to prioritize the budget not for you know, certain issues

69
00:03:30.439 --> 00:03:33.479
<v Speaker 3>that look good on paper. We've got to prioritize the

70
00:03:33.520 --> 00:03:36.520
<v Speaker 3>issues that actually make the lives of the residents better.

71
00:03:36.919 --> 00:03:38.840
<v Speaker 1>Well, you know, I think about that. And we've been

72
00:03:39.000 --> 00:03:43.080
<v Speaker 1>having a lot of well some several jokes, but it's

73
00:03:43.120 --> 00:03:45.759
<v Speaker 1>not really a joke when you've let your infrastructure deteriorate

74
00:03:45.840 --> 00:03:49.280
<v Speaker 1>over the years and you're so far behind in road repairs.

75
00:03:49.319 --> 00:03:52.479
<v Speaker 1>I mean millions and millions of dollars behind and hundreds

76
00:03:52.479 --> 00:03:55.120
<v Speaker 1>of miles behind the road repairs. You got to take

77
00:03:55.159 --> 00:03:56.000
<v Speaker 1>care of your neighborhood.

78
00:03:56.039 --> 00:03:56.159
<v Speaker 4>You know.

79
00:03:56.159 --> 00:03:59.280
<v Speaker 1>It's that broken windows theory. The worse the neighborhood looks,

80
00:03:59.280 --> 00:04:02.039
<v Speaker 1>the more likely it attract crime, and the more likely

81
00:04:02.120 --> 00:04:04.879
<v Speaker 1>people are not going to want to move there. So

82
00:04:05.080 --> 00:04:07.280
<v Speaker 1>I would hope that an order priority would be for you.

83
00:04:07.400 --> 00:04:10.479
<v Speaker 1>And I'm asking out loud this question, are you going

84
00:04:10.520 --> 00:04:13.639
<v Speaker 1>to deal with the backload of infrastructure problems we have

85
00:04:13.919 --> 00:04:16.079
<v Speaker 1>rather than and I think you alluded to it, pursue

86
00:04:16.160 --> 00:04:19.839
<v Speaker 1>you know, fun new shiny objects.

87
00:04:20.040 --> 00:04:21.759
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, you absolutely have to do that.

88
00:04:21.839 --> 00:04:24.439
<v Speaker 3>And that's why money management is my number one when I.

89
00:04:24.560 --> 00:04:25.360
<v Speaker 2>Talked to people.

90
00:04:26.120 --> 00:04:28.600
<v Speaker 3>There's a lot of hot topic issues. When we talk

91
00:04:28.639 --> 00:04:31.480
<v Speaker 3>about the pension, when we talk about the streetcar, when

92
00:04:31.480 --> 00:04:34.519
<v Speaker 3>we talk about the infrastructure, and I'm telling you, all

93
00:04:34.560 --> 00:04:37.319
<v Speaker 3>of these come back to the root issue, which is

94
00:04:37.319 --> 00:04:39.399
<v Speaker 3>the money is not being prioritized.

95
00:04:41.319 --> 00:04:43.040
<v Speaker 1>Well, we do have a pension problem in the City

96
00:04:43.040 --> 00:04:45.560
<v Speaker 1>of Cincinnati. You think the administration would get all over

97
00:04:45.600 --> 00:04:47.079
<v Speaker 1>it because there's a lot of folks out there that

98
00:04:47.120 --> 00:04:49.759
<v Speaker 1>are relying on that for their future in retirement.

99
00:04:51.000 --> 00:04:51.720
<v Speaker 2>Absolutely.

100
00:04:52.120 --> 00:04:56.199
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, these are issues that all relate to just terrible

101
00:04:56.319 --> 00:05:00.000
<v Speaker 3>prioritization of the funds and the budget that's coming into

102
00:05:00.040 --> 00:05:02.519
<v Speaker 3>of the city. And so whenever you look at a

103
00:05:02.560 --> 00:05:05.279
<v Speaker 3>lot of these issues, if you focus on that, then

104
00:05:05.399 --> 00:05:07.040
<v Speaker 3>we're going to be able to tackle a lot of

105
00:05:07.079 --> 00:05:09.680
<v Speaker 3>other issues as well, you know, like the infrastructure. I'm

106
00:05:09.720 --> 00:05:14.279
<v Speaker 3>tired of Cincinnati losing bids for major sporting events, and

107
00:05:14.319 --> 00:05:16.000
<v Speaker 3>a lot of it's just because if you go out

108
00:05:16.000 --> 00:05:19.120
<v Speaker 3>on a Tuesday afternoon with no event, it's wall.

109
00:05:18.959 --> 00:05:19.759
<v Speaker 2>To wall traffic.

110
00:05:20.120 --> 00:05:23.720
<v Speaker 3>We can't take any of any more congestion in our city.

111
00:05:23.439 --> 00:05:24.040
<v Speaker 2>For these events.

112
00:05:24.079 --> 00:05:26.560
<v Speaker 3>It's because the infrastructure is not in place to do it.

113
00:05:26.959 --> 00:05:30.240
<v Speaker 3>And then obviously the potholes. You know, I'm sorry, but

114
00:05:30.319 --> 00:05:32.079
<v Speaker 3>I'm not going to be the type of person that

115
00:05:32.279 --> 00:05:35.480
<v Speaker 3>just puts on a vest and pretends like I'm fixing

116
00:05:35.560 --> 00:05:39.519
<v Speaker 3>a pothole. I'm going to prioritize people actually fixing the

117
00:05:39.519 --> 00:05:41.240
<v Speaker 3>potholes well.

118
00:05:41.040 --> 00:05:43.879
<v Speaker 1>And prioritize fixing the three to one one system, so

119
00:05:44.120 --> 00:05:46.120
<v Speaker 1>when you call it, you don't get a message that

120
00:05:46.199 --> 00:05:49.240
<v Speaker 1>says it's down and not working. We discovered that the

121
00:05:49.319 --> 00:05:50.600
<v Speaker 1>other day when we tried to call it here on

122
00:05:50.600 --> 00:05:51.920
<v Speaker 1>the fifty five Casing Morning Show.

123
00:05:51.920 --> 00:05:55.399
<v Speaker 4>If you're attempting to use has been restricted or is unavailable,

124
00:05:56.000 --> 00:06:02.920
<v Speaker 4>please contact care for Systems message four zero four.

125
00:06:03.720 --> 00:06:08.360
<v Speaker 1>Sixty five Corey. That wow, that is as of this morning.

126
00:06:08.439 --> 00:06:10.839
<v Speaker 1>Joe called it again this morning and it's still.

127
00:06:10.639 --> 00:06:14.120
<v Speaker 3>No way, yes morning, still this morning, even after the

128
00:06:14.160 --> 00:06:15.079
<v Speaker 3>promotion for it.

129
00:06:15.160 --> 00:06:19.360
<v Speaker 1>Wow yeah, yeah, and I guess it. Theyded to provide

130
00:06:19.399 --> 00:06:21.560
<v Speaker 1>you please contact customer service. They don't even give you

131
00:06:21.560 --> 00:06:24.240
<v Speaker 1>a number to contact them, Like, well, okay, I'll contact them,

132
00:06:24.279 --> 00:06:27.199
<v Speaker 1>but how do I do that? So still a number

133
00:06:27.199 --> 00:06:30.600
<v Speaker 1>of potholes reported and allegedly being fixed is pretty substantial,

134
00:06:31.240 --> 00:06:34.720
<v Speaker 1>But there are obviously some massive, massive road problems out

135
00:06:34.720 --> 00:06:37.639
<v Speaker 1>there that have gone unaddressed for decades. It's just it's

136
00:06:37.759 --> 00:06:38.639
<v Speaker 1>mind numbing to me.

137
00:06:39.399 --> 00:06:43.879
<v Speaker 3>So otherwise you might want to institute a seven sixty

138
00:06:43.959 --> 00:06:46.920
<v Speaker 3>five number. And if you look on that, that stands

139
00:06:46.959 --> 00:06:47.720
<v Speaker 3>for SOL.

140
00:06:51.639 --> 00:06:53.639
<v Speaker 1>It's the state of affairs right now in the city,

141
00:06:53.759 --> 00:06:56.160
<v Speaker 1>which is why maybe we need a change in administration.

142
00:06:58.160 --> 00:07:00.439
<v Speaker 1>And I don't want to be a negative about this,

143
00:07:00.519 --> 00:07:02.920
<v Speaker 1>but you're dealing with the city of Cincinnati, which has

144
00:07:02.920 --> 00:07:06.399
<v Speaker 1>been Democrat dominated I think since Ken Blackwhill at charterright

145
00:07:06.959 --> 00:07:11.759
<v Speaker 1>back in the late eighty early nineties was mayor. You're

146
00:07:11.800 --> 00:07:13.959
<v Speaker 1>facing an uphill challenge. I know that, I know you're

147
00:07:14.040 --> 00:07:16.079
<v Speaker 1>up to the task. We've talked about this before. How

148
00:07:16.079 --> 00:07:18.680
<v Speaker 1>do you how do you maintain motivation? And are you

149
00:07:18.720 --> 00:07:21.959
<v Speaker 1>going to be visiting some of the more blueer neighborhoods

150
00:07:22.000 --> 00:07:24.560
<v Speaker 1>and reaching out to folks in those neighborhoods to try

151
00:07:24.600 --> 00:07:27.079
<v Speaker 1>to convince them that your message and your plan of

152
00:07:27.120 --> 00:07:28.879
<v Speaker 1>action is the right path to go on.

153
00:07:30.480 --> 00:07:33.279
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, we have to you know, the days of like

154
00:07:33.439 --> 00:07:36.360
<v Speaker 3>I mean, we obviously this has to be a grassroots

155
00:07:36.399 --> 00:07:38.519
<v Speaker 3>movement as people like to call it.

156
00:07:38.519 --> 00:07:39.560
<v Speaker 2>It has to be something.

157
00:07:39.600 --> 00:07:41.800
<v Speaker 3>But I think the biggest thing you have to think

158
00:07:41.959 --> 00:07:45.680
<v Speaker 3>is we have to think creatively and strategically on what

159
00:07:45.800 --> 00:07:47.959
<v Speaker 3>it's going to take. Because there's been a lot of

160
00:07:48.120 --> 00:07:51.000
<v Speaker 3>campaigns that have come through this city to have attempted

161
00:07:51.040 --> 00:07:53.839
<v Speaker 3>what we're doing and flipping the city. But I think

162
00:07:53.879 --> 00:07:56.600
<v Speaker 3>that this is you know, for the lack of better words,

163
00:07:56.600 --> 00:07:59.000
<v Speaker 3>This is a kind of a perfect storm event to

164
00:07:59.000 --> 00:08:01.639
<v Speaker 3>where we have the momentum of people just fed up

165
00:08:01.680 --> 00:08:02.560
<v Speaker 3>with what's going on.

166
00:08:03.439 --> 00:08:06.199
<v Speaker 2>We have the right people. I really believe.

167
00:08:06.600 --> 00:08:09.319
<v Speaker 3>I've met some incredible people the last few weeks that

168
00:08:09.319 --> 00:08:11.519
<v Speaker 3>are willing to get on board with this and are

169
00:08:11.560 --> 00:08:15.120
<v Speaker 3>willing to make a change in this city. And then,

170
00:08:15.199 --> 00:08:18.519
<v Speaker 3>obviously what you said those communities that are the bluest

171
00:08:18.560 --> 00:08:22.439
<v Speaker 3>of blue, I've visited those those areas and I'm just

172
00:08:22.480 --> 00:08:25.920
<v Speaker 3>telling you there's a lot more disgruntled people than you realize.

173
00:08:26.279 --> 00:08:29.720
<v Speaker 3>And whenever they they speak, they don't ask.

174
00:08:29.560 --> 00:08:31.439
<v Speaker 2>You whether you're red or blue? They ask are you

175
00:08:31.519 --> 00:08:32.320
<v Speaker 2>going to fix this?

176
00:08:32.759 --> 00:08:35.600
<v Speaker 3>Do you care about connected community? Do you care about this?

177
00:08:36.000 --> 00:08:39.120
<v Speaker 3>These issues that people are frankly pissed off about.

178
00:08:39.320 --> 00:08:41.360
<v Speaker 1>Well, and you know, you just anticipate in my next question,

179
00:08:41.399 --> 00:08:43.919
<v Speaker 1>because they're just going to got done writing down connected communities.

180
00:08:43.960 --> 00:08:46.080
<v Speaker 1>Because the folks in Hyde Park are a little agitated

181
00:08:46.080 --> 00:08:48.960
<v Speaker 1>about the plan development there, but seemed to be snatched

182
00:08:49.000 --> 00:08:51.759
<v Speaker 1>from their local control by this connected communities thing that

183
00:08:51.799 --> 00:08:54.159
<v Speaker 1>was passed out of council. Where are you on that?

184
00:08:54.200 --> 00:08:56.559
<v Speaker 1>Would you unring that bell? And are you and when

185
00:08:56.559 --> 00:09:00.240
<v Speaker 1>you mentioned that that you hear about connected communit these

186
00:09:00.440 --> 00:09:05.639
<v Speaker 1>in these neighborhoods. What are they saying about connected communities, Well.

187
00:09:05.600 --> 00:09:09.960
<v Speaker 3>We're in the West End. And the affordable housing or

188
00:09:10.120 --> 00:09:12.840
<v Speaker 3>the government subsidized housing, whatever you want to call it,

189
00:09:13.120 --> 00:09:17.200
<v Speaker 3>the approach that this city has taken has might It

190
00:09:17.399 --> 00:09:21.519
<v Speaker 3>might have provided housing that people can afford, but it's

191
00:09:21.559 --> 00:09:24.279
<v Speaker 3>not providing them the way to get out of the system.

192
00:09:24.600 --> 00:09:27.759
<v Speaker 3>And that's ultimately what government. If there's a government program

193
00:09:27.799 --> 00:09:31.039
<v Speaker 3>that is to help people, ultimately it's to get them

194
00:09:31.279 --> 00:09:33.960
<v Speaker 3>out of needing that help from the government. It shouldn't

195
00:09:34.000 --> 00:09:36.559
<v Speaker 3>be a process that you're going to be caught into

196
00:09:36.600 --> 00:09:39.440
<v Speaker 3>the system the rest of your life. So I've witnessed

197
00:09:39.480 --> 00:09:43.759
<v Speaker 3>those processes and those policies firsthand. When you have concentrated

198
00:09:43.759 --> 00:09:48.240
<v Speaker 3>affordable housing in areas that is keeping people in that bondage.

199
00:09:48.480 --> 00:09:50.679
<v Speaker 3>And then whenever I looked at the details, because I'll

200
00:09:50.720 --> 00:09:53.639
<v Speaker 3>be honest, you know, as a few months ago, I

201
00:09:53.639 --> 00:09:56.320
<v Speaker 3>didn't know what the connected communities was. I researched it,

202
00:09:56.440 --> 00:09:59.080
<v Speaker 3>talked to people about it, and when you look at it,

203
00:09:59.120 --> 00:10:01.200
<v Speaker 3>you realize that this is it's just a trojan horse

204
00:10:01.240 --> 00:10:06.279
<v Speaker 3>for those same policies you're giving the jobs to the

205
00:10:06.360 --> 00:10:09.919
<v Speaker 3>developers that are big time, and said the small developers

206
00:10:09.960 --> 00:10:14.120
<v Speaker 3>that really are they that's some of the greatest value

207
00:10:14.200 --> 00:10:17.639
<v Speaker 3>of our city is these small businesses, these small developers

208
00:10:17.639 --> 00:10:18.519
<v Speaker 3>that can flip one.

209
00:10:18.480 --> 00:10:19.799
<v Speaker 2>Or two properties at a time.

210
00:10:20.440 --> 00:10:22.960
<v Speaker 3>You're taking away the historic aspect of a lot of

211
00:10:22.960 --> 00:10:24.360
<v Speaker 3>these amazing buildings.

212
00:10:24.679 --> 00:10:27.000
<v Speaker 2>And then you're, like I said, the trojan horse.

213
00:10:27.039 --> 00:10:30.440
<v Speaker 3>You're putting in these policies that are just going to

214
00:10:30.519 --> 00:10:34.480
<v Speaker 3>implement the housing policies that have kept people on bondage

215
00:10:34.480 --> 00:10:35.000
<v Speaker 3>for years.

216
00:10:35.440 --> 00:10:38.759
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. I share your assessment of that, and I like

217
00:10:38.799 --> 00:10:41.639
<v Speaker 1>the idea. You know, again going back to infrastructure. If

218
00:10:41.679 --> 00:10:46.600
<v Speaker 1>the infrastructure is solid and sound, you create a welcoming environment,

219
00:10:46.639 --> 00:10:49.720
<v Speaker 1>an environment for a developer that like, well, listen, I

220
00:10:49.759 --> 00:10:52.639
<v Speaker 1>got really great roads, I got great lighting. It's a

221
00:10:52.759 --> 00:10:56.879
<v Speaker 1>developable community. That means it's worthwhile for me to acquire

222
00:10:56.879 --> 00:11:00.759
<v Speaker 1>one of these rundown properties, turn it around, make livable

223
00:11:00.919 --> 00:11:05.159
<v Speaker 1>and desirable, and then you have more housing. So I

224
00:11:05.679 --> 00:11:08.360
<v Speaker 1>think that's a recipe for success. It's been a great

225
00:11:08.399 --> 00:11:10.879
<v Speaker 1>success for so many entrepreneurs that are doing that in

226
00:11:10.919 --> 00:11:12.080
<v Speaker 1>other neighborhoods.

227
00:11:12.600 --> 00:11:15.840
<v Speaker 3>No, absolutely, I mean, I mean, you remember not too

228
00:11:15.879 --> 00:11:16.759
<v Speaker 3>long ago where.

229
00:11:16.559 --> 00:11:17.840
<v Speaker 2>We went to the Super Bowl.

230
00:11:17.879 --> 00:11:21.600
<v Speaker 3>The whole city was just celebrating. Well, whenever we went

231
00:11:21.639 --> 00:11:24.240
<v Speaker 3>to the Super Bowl, I was living off Fourth Street

232
00:11:24.320 --> 00:11:26.480
<v Speaker 3>in the West End with our church and our business.

233
00:11:26.759 --> 00:11:31.519
<v Speaker 3>And then what happened was that I would watch local

234
00:11:31.600 --> 00:11:35.879
<v Speaker 3>developers walk around with investors and everything all around the

235
00:11:35.960 --> 00:11:39.960
<v Speaker 3>downtown area. They were hungry to invest in our community.

236
00:11:40.519 --> 00:11:43.759
<v Speaker 3>They were hungry to improve these buildings, to flip buildings,

237
00:11:43.759 --> 00:11:46.679
<v Speaker 3>and to provide housing and to do all this. And

238
00:11:46.720 --> 00:11:50.879
<v Speaker 3>sure enough, two years later, those developments haven't happened because

239
00:11:50.919 --> 00:11:53.639
<v Speaker 3>the policies of the city choked that out. Oh you

240
00:11:53.759 --> 00:11:55.759
<v Speaker 3>have to do it by bus zoning. There's a lot

241
00:11:55.759 --> 00:11:58.480
<v Speaker 3>of red tape. It doesn't agree with our vision for

242
00:11:58.559 --> 00:12:02.360
<v Speaker 3>this area. There's so much potential specifically, I mean I'm

243
00:12:02.399 --> 00:12:04.159
<v Speaker 3>talking about in the West End, but in so many

244
00:12:04.159 --> 00:12:07.320
<v Speaker 3>of these neighborhoods in Cincinnati. There's all this potential of

245
00:12:07.320 --> 00:12:11.639
<v Speaker 3>these empty properties that developers, local developers would jump at

246
00:12:11.639 --> 00:12:15.320
<v Speaker 3>the chance of flipping and turning into an amazing business

247
00:12:15.360 --> 00:12:18.440
<v Speaker 3>and residential area. But they are being choked.

248
00:12:18.080 --> 00:12:19.200
<v Speaker 2>Out by the policies.

249
00:12:19.799 --> 00:12:21.879
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I remember going back quite a few years and

250
00:12:21.960 --> 00:12:24.159
<v Speaker 1>understand there's a whole lot of red tape in developing

251
00:12:24.200 --> 00:12:26.240
<v Speaker 1>literally anything in the city of Cincinnati, and that needs

252
00:12:26.279 --> 00:12:29.559
<v Speaker 1>to be eliminated. Elmer Hensler, the late owner of Queen

253
00:12:29.639 --> 00:12:33.360
<v Speaker 1>City Sausage, wanted to expand his manufacturing facility and he

254
00:12:33.519 --> 00:12:36.200
<v Speaker 1>it took him years in years, And this is, you know,

255
00:12:36.240 --> 00:12:39.600
<v Speaker 1>a commercial area and there's commercial space. It's not like

256
00:12:39.639 --> 00:12:41.879
<v Speaker 1>he was going to change the whole dynamic of a neighborhood.

257
00:12:41.879 --> 00:12:43.399
<v Speaker 1>He was just going to build onto the business he'd

258
00:12:43.440 --> 00:12:46.879
<v Speaker 1>already developed in this commercial area. But why were they

259
00:12:47.000 --> 00:12:49.240
<v Speaker 1>standing in the way. It was the idea of creating

260
00:12:49.279 --> 00:12:51.960
<v Speaker 1>more jobs and more space and ultimately more tax revenue

261
00:12:51.960 --> 00:12:54.039
<v Speaker 1>for the city, and that they made it so challenging

262
00:12:54.080 --> 00:12:55.960
<v Speaker 1>for him, it's just dumb.

263
00:12:57.679 --> 00:12:59.559
<v Speaker 3>Well yeah, and then you got to realize this too,

264
00:13:00.039 --> 00:13:01.919
<v Speaker 3>and I open out the can of worms here, But

265
00:13:02.000 --> 00:13:06.200
<v Speaker 3>there's organizations and NGOs and nonprofits in the city that

266
00:13:06.399 --> 00:13:09.600
<v Speaker 3>basically work hand in hand with the city to hold

267
00:13:09.679 --> 00:13:13.360
<v Speaker 3>properties empty on their portfolio books so that they can

268
00:13:13.480 --> 00:13:16.360
<v Speaker 3>have better investment opportunities other places.

269
00:13:17.159 --> 00:13:18.960
<v Speaker 2>And so you've got to realize that.

270
00:13:19.240 --> 00:13:22.519
<v Speaker 3>You know, whenever you have let's say, an organization in

271
00:13:22.559 --> 00:13:25.879
<v Speaker 3>the city that holds millions of dollars worth of property

272
00:13:26.159 --> 00:13:29.159
<v Speaker 3>but when local investors reach out to purchase their property

273
00:13:29.200 --> 00:13:32.120
<v Speaker 3>that's for sale and there's a year waiting list on

274
00:13:32.240 --> 00:13:34.480
<v Speaker 3>that property, and then it has to go on line

275
00:13:34.519 --> 00:13:37.080
<v Speaker 3>with the affordable housing zoning and all sorts of other

276
00:13:37.120 --> 00:13:40.559
<v Speaker 3>stuff of the policies and red tape, then it chokes

277
00:13:40.600 --> 00:13:42.320
<v Speaker 3>out any type of development.

278
00:13:42.600 --> 00:13:45.399
<v Speaker 1>That's just that's crazy, because I keep hearing they want

279
00:13:45.480 --> 00:13:47.600
<v Speaker 1>more people to move into the city of Cincinnati and

280
00:13:47.639 --> 00:13:50.879
<v Speaker 1>in other words, get more tax revenue from tax payers.

281
00:13:51.360 --> 00:13:54.159
<v Speaker 1>And the way you do that is you create housing

282
00:13:54.159 --> 00:13:56.120
<v Speaker 1>that people want to live in the idea of standing

283
00:13:56.200 --> 00:13:58.559
<v Speaker 1>in the way in it so some other neighborhood might

284
00:13:59.399 --> 00:14:02.519
<v Speaker 1>might get the benefit of those development dollars, which may

285
00:14:02.559 --> 00:14:05.039
<v Speaker 1>not happen because the infrastructure is not there or some

286
00:14:05.159 --> 00:14:08.200
<v Speaker 1>other problems. It's just dumb. Somebody wants to invest in

287
00:14:08.279 --> 00:14:10.480
<v Speaker 1>any area of the city of Cincinnati, the skids should

288
00:14:10.480 --> 00:14:14.320
<v Speaker 1>be greased for them to do exactly that. Corey Bowman,

289
00:14:14.440 --> 00:14:18.679
<v Speaker 1>grease the skids. Show up tonight, Bad Time, Bad Tom

290
00:14:18.720 --> 00:14:24.440
<v Speaker 1>Smith Brewery, fifty nine hundred Madison for the campaign kickoff event.

291
00:14:24.639 --> 00:14:28.000
<v Speaker 1>Do you have a website up and running, Corey, Yes.

292
00:14:27.919 --> 00:14:31.519
<v Speaker 3>Sir Coreybouman dot com. We've got the campaign kickoff there,

293
00:14:31.600 --> 00:14:35.279
<v Speaker 3>We've got our donation page. We have a lead form

294
00:14:35.320 --> 00:14:37.000
<v Speaker 3>that you can fill out to let us know if

295
00:14:37.000 --> 00:14:40.679
<v Speaker 3>you want to get involved, and then after tonight we

296
00:14:40.720 --> 00:14:43.039
<v Speaker 3>will be updating that with all of our bio and

297
00:14:43.080 --> 00:14:46.960
<v Speaker 3>policies and getting the word out on that as well. Brian,

298
00:14:47.000 --> 00:14:49.960
<v Speaker 3>I'd like to personally invite you and Joe tonight as well,

299
00:14:49.960 --> 00:14:50.960
<v Speaker 3>if you're able to make it.

300
00:14:51.240 --> 00:14:53.720
<v Speaker 1>I appreciate the invitation very much. I have checked the

301
00:14:53.759 --> 00:14:56.000
<v Speaker 1>calendar and with my wife the boss of the house,

302
00:14:56.000 --> 00:14:57.919
<v Speaker 1>see if we can make it. But I wish you

303
00:14:57.919 --> 00:14:59.879
