Speaker 1: It is your Channel nine's first warning weather forecast. It's
Speaker 1: gonna beautiful day to day. I'd like low sixties temperatures.
Speaker 1: That's we're gonna get sunny skies in sixty one for
Speaker 1: the high thirty five over ninety clear skies, sunny and
Speaker 1: sixty five tomorrow even better then over nine down to
Speaker 1: forty four with partly thirty skies any partly sunny Game
Speaker 1: Day Sunday with the highest seventy two forty four. Right now,
Speaker 1: let's hear about Travis editions Chuck.
Speaker 2: From the UCL Tramphings Center.
Speaker 3: Count on the expert team at you See Health Orthopedic
Speaker 3: Sands Sports Medicine. No matter the injury, same day appointments
Speaker 3: are available schedule online at you see health dot com.

Speaker 3: seventy five, all due to the problems on the bridge.
Speaker 3: All the entrance rams from Southgate from Grand, from Memorial
Speaker 3: and Bellevue all blocked off because of the closure. Southbound
Speaker 3: four seventy one is blocked coming out of downtown. Chuck
Speaker 3: Abram on fifty five krc the talk station.
Speaker 1: A twenty nine fifty five KRCD talk station and a
Speaker 1: very happy Friday too.
Speaker 4: You.
Speaker 1: I hope you have some good plans for the weekend.
Speaker 1: I'm excited about that Vets and Bruce Bus next Saturday.
Speaker 1: I sure hope I can make it to one of
Speaker 1: the bars anyhow. In studio, we only had a whole
Speaker 1: hour with Adam Kahler at seven oh five. He's running
Speaker 1: for county commissioner, and so is my next guest in studio,
Speaker 1: Jonathan Pearson. Great to have you back. It's always good
Speaker 1: to see you. Yeah, thank you. I appreciate time. I
Speaker 1: appreciate you making the effort to come in. It's much
Speaker 1: easier to have a conversation with someone when you're staring
Speaker 1: a man in the face. Of course, you have motivations
Speaker 1: for running for county commissioner, and Adam express quite a
Speaker 1: few different ones, most notably just the whole concept of
Speaker 1: having an alternative political voice, because if you get a
Speaker 1: different point of view. Obviously it's run by Democrats now,
Speaker 1: but we tend to have different political philosophis Republicans and Democrats,
Speaker 1: and it seems to me that they're getting further and
Speaker 1: further apart. But if I had to really peg generally speaking,
Speaker 1: you know, this is not a free pass for all
Speaker 1: people who label themselves Republicans. But I think Republicans tend
Speaker 1: to look at politics and budgets from a fiscal responsibility
Speaker 1: an efficiency standpoint. We want smaller government, and the government
Speaker 1: that we have we want to be very efficient. That
Speaker 1: doesn't seem to be the mindset of Democrats across the board,
Speaker 1: and Adam was pointing that out. Listen, if I just
Speaker 1: got or a Republican on commission, they at least have
Speaker 1: a dissenting voice, which would raise the level of the
Speaker 1: public's awareness that an issue is even being discussed, because
Speaker 1: right now we got nothing.
Speaker 4: No, there's no transparency that I've told every news outlet
Speaker 4: I've talked to. I said, I'll come to you every
Speaker 4: Friday and we'll talk about what went on. I love
Speaker 4: that because it's, first of all, we don't have any
Speaker 4: nuclear secrets in this county, so there's nothing secret. That's
Speaker 4: what I've never understood. There's nothing secret. You want to
Speaker 4: know what the sheriff makes here it is. You want
Speaker 4: to know what the deputies make here it is. You
Speaker 4: want to know what the commissioners and their workers make
Speaker 4: here it is. And I think that's been the challenge.
Speaker 4: It was nice to see in the paper the other
Speaker 4: day that there was a number that finally freaked out
Speaker 4: the commissioners to say no, a billion dollars from So
Speaker 4: we do know that there is a number out there.
Speaker 4: It's only a billion, but it's a starting point only
Speaker 4: you know, a billion here, a billion there. Eventually we'll
Speaker 4: talk about real money.
Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly, like a thirty five trillion dollars budget or
Speaker 1: debt with a trillion dollar annual debt service.
Speaker 2: You know that.
Speaker 4: And I think that's the challenges from the Democrats standpoint.
Speaker 4: They don't see tax dollars as the people's money. They
Speaker 4: see the tax dollars as their money. So if you
Speaker 4: actually say we're not going to raise the budget this year,
Speaker 4: they call it the budget cut. And that's the difference
Speaker 4: between a Republican and a Democrat. We don't see it
Speaker 4: as a budget cut. What we see it is returning
Speaker 4: money to the people, just as the tax dollars the rollback.
Speaker 4: Why isn't that permanent? And first of all, why do
Speaker 4: we have to put it in there to bribe you
Speaker 4: to get some more money to build a stadium. That
Speaker 4: always bugged me, that was a bribe, flat out bribe.
Speaker 4: It was, and unfortunately people fell for it. And typical
Speaker 4: of oys once once a tax is made, never comes back. Well,
Speaker 4: we've got to stop this mentality. We're not bribing the
Speaker 4: people to make them give us money. That seems ludicrous
Speaker 4: in the first place, plus insulting. Let's do a right
Speaker 4: budget that people go. I can agree with that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and similar and I keep bringing up Adam Kaylor,
Speaker 1: but comparable positions. You know, let's go line by line.
Speaker 1: Let's get the taxpayer and explanation, like if they're paying
Speaker 1: ten thousand dollars a year and taxes, let's show me
Speaker 1: exactly what percentage is going where. And then let's look
Speaker 1: at each individual office government of course or under the
Speaker 1: commissioner's you know control or within their reach, and look
Speaker 1: at each one and see, you know, the world's a
Speaker 1: different place. And he mentioned artificial intelligence can be used
Speaker 1: as streamline processes, you know, maybe pair back some of
Speaker 1: the employees in the county or otherwise give them something
Speaker 1: more fit, more, something better to do that would cheer
Speaker 1: them up. But I know there's waste. Oh, you know
Speaker 1: there's waste. Well, here's what I always say.
Speaker 4: If there's a lack of transparency, you have to question
Speaker 4: why I don't care who we're talking about. You know,
Speaker 4: if there's a lack of transparency and the communications of
Speaker 4: a parent to a child, let's even go that mundane.
Speaker 4: But especially when you're talking to government to the people,
Speaker 4: you have to be a little concerned when there's a
Speaker 4: lack of transparency. You just have to be because why,
Speaker 4: it's it's not their money, it's it's our money. It's
Speaker 4: the people's money that people have a right to know.
Speaker 4: And so Adam and I are in the same page.
Speaker 4: We're on the exact same page and looking at that budget,
Speaker 4: we're on the exact same page about letting people know
Speaker 4: where that money's going so that there's not a question.
Speaker 4: And our goal is to set up in such a
Speaker 4: way that it's going to be really hard to do
Speaker 4: something stupid with the money.
Speaker 2: I love that. I love it.
Speaker 1: And of course, with your open door policy and your
Speaker 1: promise to the press that you'll show up every week
Speaker 1: explaining what has gone on the preceding week, that that
Speaker 1: is a unique idea that has not been embraced by
Speaker 1: someone in politics before. It just seems that no one
Speaker 1: is ever willing to do that or all Alternatively, if
Speaker 1: it is happening, there's no local reporter there to even
Speaker 1: hear what you're saying, and I think that may be
Speaker 1: more of a problem.
Speaker 4: It's a position that's paid well at the very least,
Speaker 4: if you're being paid by the people, you should probably
Speaker 4: talk to the people.
Speaker 1: What's a complicated prosle concept, Jonathan Pearson. If you want
Speaker 1: information about Jonathan where he stands on issues, go to
Speaker 1: Hamilton County Republican Party dot org and he's got his
Speaker 1: own page right there Jonathan Pearson twenty twenty four. Should
Speaker 1: be really easy to find it, or alternatively, do what
Speaker 1: I did. Jonathan Pearson, j jo n A Thha and
Speaker 1: Pearson's typing that a county commissioner. It'll pop right up
Speaker 1: on your search engine. We'll continue with Jonathan. It's Ay

Speaker 1: you can stream the audio and check out the podcast
Speaker 1: anytime you want. Really valuable information from Dave Hatter This
Speaker 1: Morning Tech Friday, as is always the case, full hour
Speaker 1: with Adam Kahler running for Commissioner. We had Matt Damaris
Speaker 1: on the Vets and Bruce Love that Organization, and Jonathan
Speaker 1: Pearson in studio. He's also running for Commissioner on a solid,
Speaker 1: open door, open book platform because he wants to know
Speaker 1: the information and as a taxpayer, you should too, or
Speaker 1: at least if you want it, you should be able
Speaker 1: to get it. You know, you were talking about that
Speaker 1: they refuse to provide information. They're not open with the books.
Speaker 1: Where do the money go? Specifically? They talk in platitudes
Speaker 1: and generalities about where the money is being spent, but
Speaker 1: not you know, specifically. You don't reminded me of all
Speaker 1: these House committees looking for information, and they preside over
Speaker 1: and are responsible to the American voter for what Department
Speaker 1: of Justice, the FBI, any of the lettered agencies does,
Speaker 1: and those agencies basically raise a metaphorical, if not real,
Speaker 1: middle finger to the request for information from the people
Speaker 1: who were in charge and responsible for looking out for us.
Speaker 1: It's kind of a it's a uniquely bizarre, yet it
Speaker 1: widely embraced concept.
Speaker 4: That well, I think part of The problem is that
Speaker 4: we see on the left that they're driven by emotion,
Speaker 4: and so you speak from emotion first, and you don't
Speaker 4: always write that stuff down, at least not accurately.
Speaker 5: Let's say it that way. You vote money the same way.
Speaker 4: You just go, oh, let's take care of this problem,
Speaker 4: without considering how much that problem costs. And so you
Speaker 4: just say yes to these things, and then when somebody
Speaker 4: ask you, why did you do this?
Speaker 5: How much did you spend?
Speaker 4: Honestly, I do believe there are many people on the
Speaker 4: left who honestly can't answer that question truthfully because they
Speaker 4: don't know.
Speaker 1: Well, you could probably say the same thing on the right,
Speaker 1: because if we ask for it, and it's a commission
Speaker 1: governed by all Democrats, then the right's not going to
Speaker 1: get the information.
Speaker 4: You know. Yeah, that's a great challenge, and that's why
Speaker 4: we're sitting here in this kind of staring at the
Speaker 4: wall moment, and everybody's going and then when something stupid
Speaker 4: does happen, which we've seen of late, there's just a
Speaker 4: rewrite of what actually happened.
Speaker 1: That and of course a lost opportunity to get ahead
Speaker 1: of the problem. Right, having an open conversation about the
Speaker 1: best practice for solving the problem or even identifying if
Speaker 1: whatever it is that's brought up is a problem in
Speaker 1: the first place. Yeah, I mean, we all love our parks,
Speaker 1: but if they ask for a levee, is it just
Speaker 1: simply you know, we're gonna, oh my god, if we
Speaker 1: don't pass the levee, the parks are going to close
Speaker 1: down at.
Speaker 5: This way double the library levee. And they didn't even
Speaker 5: need it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I know, but you can get.
Speaker 4: Your if you work there, you can get a sex
Speaker 4: change and for free.
Speaker 5: Now apparently so sex change simps.
Speaker 1: There's a library where at Sims Township on Enyard. It's
Speaker 1: in Hamilton County, and it's perfectly fine. The building is beautiful.
Speaker 1: They're going to knock it down and build a new
Speaker 1: one and move it back. And you know why they're
Speaker 1: knocking down a perfectly good, beautiful building. They say there's
Speaker 1: not enough parking right there. And I thought to myself,
Speaker 1: there is a huge front yard. It's just like, you know,
Speaker 1: a third acre of grass pave it. What is that
Speaker 1: going to run the esthetics of the library Because you
Speaker 1: have parking all around the library as opposed to just
Speaker 1: on the left hand side. I just heard that yesterday.
Speaker 1: I couldn't believe it, but that's going to be millions
Speaker 1: of dollars.
Speaker 4: But when tax dollars are involved, unfortunately, people don't see
Speaker 4: the number. They just see the idea and say, let's
Speaker 4: do it.
Speaker 1: All right, let's pivot over to something that is very controversial,
Speaker 1: considering we got that shaft the first time around, the
Speaker 1: pay Course stadium lease and the obligations under the lease,
Speaker 1: which is going to expire unless the Bengals exercise their
Speaker 1: right to extend it, which they can do multiple times.
Speaker 1: So we're either going to get a brand new lease
Speaker 1: deal or that one's going to be extended and will
Speaker 1: still be subject to the original terms of conditions which
Speaker 1: obligate the taxpayers of Hamilton County to make some improvements.
Speaker 1: Last bill I heard was one point three or two
Speaker 1: billion dollars.
Speaker 4: Billion was just for the upgrades around it. That didn't
Speaker 4: include the roof that you know.
Speaker 2: Oh, that the dome is is, that's that's gone.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that was going to be a total and two
Speaker 1: point three billion if you put the dome over it.
Speaker 1: So we're not getting it done.
Speaker 4: But the challenge that we face in all of this
Speaker 4: is one of those things is having some luxury apartment
Speaker 4: or offices so the Bengals can have their own separate
Speaker 4: office building outside of that building.
Speaker 2: That's see, and I would argue that's not part of
Speaker 2: the stadium upgrades.
Speaker 4: That's well, you can see. There's a lot of things
Speaker 4: I look at and go, wait a minute. Because the
Speaker 4: Bengals play ten games a year, great for them, it's
Speaker 4: great for the community when they play the games here
Speaker 4: and they come in great. But that's ten out of
Speaker 4: three hundred and sixty five days. What's going on with
Speaker 4: the stadium the other three hundred and fifty five days?
Speaker 4: Why does the county not control it the other three
Speaker 4: hundred and fifty five days. We gave away the farm
Speaker 4: on that first lease, right, and so mine is simple.
Speaker 4: Let's go back and remember and remind everybody that the
Speaker 4: county owns the stadium. We call it pay Corps Bengal Stadium,
Speaker 4: but it's the county. It's Hampling Counties Stadium. We build it,
Speaker 4: we own it.
Speaker 1: And so I think we had to share the royalties
Speaker 1: with the Brown family with the.
Speaker 2: Paid Corps naming.
Speaker 4: We need to remember, you know whose it is, and
Speaker 4: you know there's nothing wrong with leasing something to a
Speaker 4: private entity.
Speaker 5: We do that.
Speaker 4: In many cases, government and private unities do work together.
Speaker 4: But the fact that we act as if we have
Speaker 4: no control. We can't say anything because they get to
Speaker 4: pick when the dates are that something comes in and
Speaker 4: uses it. And so we miss all these opportunities because
Speaker 4: we can't use a stadium because we effectively we gave
Speaker 4: control away to the family. And I don't understand that.
Speaker 4: I have to admit I'm I'm a little jaded by
Speaker 4: that because I've said before without sounding wrong to a
Speaker 4: lot of people, but not one brick at the PNG
Speaker 4: Towers downtown was bought by the county. So I think
Speaker 4: that we need to start to reconsider what is it
Speaker 4: we're actually doing here. And I think that this gets
Speaker 4: into back if sports is always emotional, it is to fans.
Speaker 5: I mean, let's be honest.
Speaker 4: As a fan, there isn't a logic while we're a
Speaker 4: fan this this year, the Bengals are not giving us
Speaker 4: a reason to be a fan. Yet, why are people fans?
Speaker 4: It's emotional, nothing wrong with that, but we have to
Speaker 4: stop for a moment in that emotion and set aside, lodge,
Speaker 4: you know, step into logic and go Okay, let's look
Speaker 4: at this, Let's look at this reasonable, Let's look at
Speaker 4: this honestly and say, Okay, we're leasing this to an
Speaker 4: NFL team which is worth billions, and we get very
Speaker 4: little in return percentage wise, What exactly is wrong with this?
Speaker 1: Yeah, and moving away from the emotional angle of sports,
Speaker 1: take emotion out of it, and consider any project where
Speaker 1: you're asking the taxpayers to front the bill the money
Speaker 1: and played back then it was what twenty five years
Speaker 1: ago was four hundred and fifty million dollars, and that
Speaker 1: obviously today would be more like two billion or three
Speaker 1: billion the way they're building these stadiums these days. But
Speaker 1: if you took it outside of the realm of sports
Speaker 1: and just say, well, we're going to spend three billion
Speaker 1: dollars in taxpayer money on any one facility that will
Speaker 1: only be used ten times a year, and you would
Speaker 1: be Everybody would look at you. You would act like
Speaker 1: you were just backcrap insane. We'll pause. Would be one
Speaker 1: more back with Jonathan Pearson for kent Ellen County Commissioner.
Speaker 1: It's a forty six right now, stay right here at
Speaker 1: fifty five KRC DE talk Station, fifty five KRC dot
Speaker 1: Com eight at fifty five kr C the talk station Happy.
Speaker 6: Friday, Geezes, say.
Speaker 2: It out loud, Joey.
Speaker 1: In spite of the chaos, political division, insanity, s it
Speaker 1: can be a wonderful world, just depends on where you're looking.
Speaker 1: And that's an Bruice proved that with Matt Damaris earlier on.
Speaker 1: We were going to have a wonderful time next Saturday.
Speaker 1: Everybody's invited to join any of the one of the
Speaker 1: breweries we're going to be stopping off at, so make
Speaker 1: sure you check it all out aty five care Sea
Speaker 1: dot com. And in the meantime, we've got Jonathan Pearson
Speaker 1: in house talking Hamilton kind of issues. So we dealt
Speaker 1: sort of kind of with the pay Course stadium. The lease,
Speaker 1: which is I think right now being discussed and negotiated
Speaker 1: with the current commissioner made up.
Speaker 5: Yeah it is.
Speaker 4: I mean, at least there is a level of understanding
Speaker 4: even in the current mix of like maybe we shouldn't
Speaker 4: be given the farm away.
Speaker 1: Yeah, And I guess the least though that limits the
Speaker 1: use and availability of the stadium to whatever conditions in
Speaker 1: terms of Brown Family decides. Back to your point on
Speaker 1: that giant facility only be used about ten times a year.
Speaker 1: It's the idea that it also requires these upgrades. It's like,
Speaker 1: keep it up with the Joneses. I mean, honestly, I know,
Speaker 1: Riverfront Stadium wasn't the greatest place to sit. It was cold.
Speaker 1: I was there for the Freezer Bowl. I left it
Speaker 1: halftime like a sane person should have. But you know
Speaker 1: it worked. There was a football field, there were bathrooms,
Speaker 1: not the nicest ones in the world, but you know
Speaker 1: what it functioned. This is a currently functioning stadium. I mean,
Speaker 1: I'd seen the grand scheme of things. Twenty five years old.
Speaker 1: Isn't that long. Can you imagine if we upgraded every
Speaker 1: building after twenty five years and added all new amenities,
Speaker 1: literally every building, what the overall costs would be? And
Speaker 1: then you have to step back, as commissioner, is it
Speaker 1: even really necessary? So I know the contract says it is,
Speaker 1: and the contract already says we as taxpayers have to
Speaker 1: pay for it at least a certain percentage, but there's
Speaker 1: no is it necessary component going on in there?
Speaker 4: Well, I think a level of Again, this gets us
Speaker 4: back to the emotion. In sports, we get more caught
Speaker 4: up in the emotion than we do logic and so
Speaker 4: we look at things saying it has to be pretty,
Speaker 4: has to be this, it has to be that, And.
Speaker 1: Does the average fan give a rip about how the
Speaker 1: locker room looks?
Speaker 4: Well, how many of us remember going to a football
Speaker 4: game a deal at Old Knippart when you know, if
Speaker 4: you tripped, you were four hundred steps down on the field,
Speaker 4: if you were up at the top.
Speaker 2: Especially if you were slinging that Schnopps bag.
Speaker 4: You know, well, you know when they charge you a
Speaker 4: buck to get in the game and the quarter for beer. Yeah,
Speaker 4: a lot of people had a hard time navigating steps.
Speaker 2: I went there in the eighties.
Speaker 5: So yes, I did too. That's right.
Speaker 4: I'm laughing about it because how many of us sat
Speaker 4: there and go, gosh, this game would be so much
Speaker 4: nicer if the stadium was nicer.
Speaker 5: Well, none of us thought that.
Speaker 2: Thought it was fun.
Speaker 5: It was. It was fun, And I think that's it's
Speaker 5: the infamous.
Speaker 4: You know, football is made to be played in mud football,
Speaker 4: you know, that type of mentality and and a.
Speaker 1: Sort of rug it outdoors. The attitude like if you
Speaker 1: you if you go to the freezer ball you stick
Speaker 1: it out, you're a real man, or you sucked it up.
Speaker 1: In the name of the fans, and I was there
Speaker 1: for the whole thing. So but I think that's the problem.
Speaker 1: We went past that nostalgic This is fun, you know.
Speaker 1: I feel the bite the weather, I feel the mud
Speaker 1: in my face type of thing too.
Speaker 5: Oh, this is a sanitized game. It's clean. We've got
Speaker 5: to have everything prim and proper.
Speaker 4: The seats need to be solved, all the walkways need
Speaker 4: to be perfectly this and that.
Speaker 2: The beers need to be twelve thirty dollars a pop.
Speaker 4: I think we forgot to look at it from a
Speaker 4: logic standpoint again, you know, I know, because see I
Speaker 4: always remind people that the Commissioner's office is the most
Speaker 4: boring important job in the county, and the boring part
Speaker 4: is the logic side. We have to stick to logic.
Speaker 4: There is not a motion in money, and that's the problem.
Speaker 4: We put a motion of money and then we start
Speaker 4: doing stupid things with it.
Speaker 1: And let's finally depart and talk a little before we depart,
Speaker 1: rather talk about I have no idea. I haven't heard
Speaker 1: anything written about it for a while. The whole situation
Speaker 1: between the county and the city in terms of the
Speaker 1: sewer systems and the uh, well, thatsent degree.
Speaker 2: And all that.
Speaker 4: You know, we didn't have a choice, we had those
Speaker 4: systems have to be split. So Northern Kentucky's going through
Speaker 4: the same pain that we're going through, just a little
Speaker 4: less dollars, but same exact problem.
Speaker 1: And I will not argue that people basements are being
Speaker 1: flooded with sewage.
Speaker 2: Obviously it needs to be fixed.
Speaker 4: Yeah, Well, when you have metro sewer says you know,
Speaker 4: here's a thousand bucks fix your basement, but they do
Speaker 4: it to the same family ten twenty times. At a
Speaker 4: certain point you have to say, maybe there's a problem
Speaker 4: in the sewer system. So there was a problem in
Speaker 4: the sewer system. The challenge is how do you put
Speaker 4: in a storm drain next to a sanitary's sewer system
Speaker 4: without completely disrupting every single neighborhood involved. And so from
Speaker 4: a practical standpoint, that's almost impossible. Yeah, from a money standpoint,
Speaker 4: it costs a fortune. And the problem is in that fortune,
Speaker 4: how much of that is being well managed? And I
Speaker 4: honestly don't know those numbers to tell you how well
Speaker 4: they are being managed. And that's one of the things
Speaker 4: I've said, and my thing I would I would sit
Speaker 4: down with those in the charge of this every single week.
Speaker 4: I would talk to the subcontractors at least every week,
Speaker 4: if not every other week. And people say that's a
Speaker 4: lot of work. Again, the commissioners are paid, I help.
Speaker 6: Well.
Speaker 4: I wish we'd remind pe people they're paid showing up
Speaker 4: at a ribbon cutting and showing up an other things.
Speaker 4: I don't care, you know, as I told tell people,
Speaker 4: I said, I got married when I was handsome enough
Speaker 4: to attract my wife. It doesn't matter anymore. She thinks
Speaker 4: I'm still handsome. My kids think I am too. I
Speaker 4: don't need to impress anybody with my good looks because
Speaker 4: I don't have them anymore. So I can get away
Speaker 4: with not going to ribbon cutting, but I can still
Speaker 4: show up to talk to the contractors. And that is
Speaker 4: what we're paid for as commissioners, is to do the job.
Speaker 1: Imagine that logic and reason and a man worth voting
Speaker 1: for Jonathan Pearson.
Speaker 2: You got Tuesday.
Speaker 1: Up until Tuesday, you can early vote, cash your vote
Speaker 1: for Jonathan and.
Speaker 2: Let's have a better path. Andy.
Speaker 1: Obviously, if you and Adam Kaylor both got elected into
Speaker 1: hammil Can commissioners, the level of transparency I see. I
Speaker 1: think is guaranteed you're both on the same page. You're
Speaker 1: both fiscally responsible, and you both know there's money that
Speaker 1: can be found and saved through a thoughtful, thorough analysis.
