WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.560 Automotive specialist, visit foreign x dot. 2 00:00:03.319 --> 00:00:06.919 Com, the events of the day, the audit Treff Hollis. 3 00:00:07.000 --> 00:00:10.000 I'm those elections laid out a lot of information at 4 00:00:10.000 --> 00:00:11.519 the top end to bottom of the album. 5 00:00:11.519 --> 00:00:32.079 You'll understand fifty five KRZ the talk station. It's seven 6 00:00:32.119 --> 00:00:34.840 oh six, it is Friday or something. 7 00:00:34.880 --> 00:00:36.200 A good mood. I'm always be in a good mood 8 00:00:36.200 --> 00:00:38.799 on Friday, and I'm in a better mood because Corey 9 00:00:38.799 --> 00:00:40.840 Bowman's in the studio again. Corey Bowman is always a 10 00:00:40.840 --> 00:00:43.759 pleasure of seeing in person, and I hope the campaign's 11 00:00:43.759 --> 00:00:46.880 going well. Of course, Corey is one of the choices 12 00:00:47.000 --> 00:00:49.719 for mayors city of Cincinnati. The top two vote getters 13 00:00:49.759 --> 00:00:52.399 among the three that are running for the position will 14 00:00:52.439 --> 00:00:55.679 advance to November's election. And of course it's an unusual 15 00:00:55.719 --> 00:00:58.759 occurrence to get any Republican elected in the City of Cincinnati, 16 00:00:58.840 --> 00:01:04.040 as has been since nineteen eighty I think, but Corey 17 00:01:04.079 --> 00:01:06.719 Bowman may have an opportunity. So good to see again, 18 00:01:06.799 --> 00:01:09.200 my friend, welcome as always, Thank you so much for 19 00:01:09.239 --> 00:01:09.879 having me. Brian. 20 00:01:10.040 --> 00:01:13.120 You got a lot of write ups lately. Yeah, yeah, 21 00:01:13.159 --> 00:01:15.799 we've been pushing hard on it. Well, I guess there's 22 00:01:16.439 --> 00:01:19.280 it's it's a blessing and it's a curse. I saw 23 00:01:19.280 --> 00:01:21.920 Epic Times did a write up on you, which is, 24 00:01:21.959 --> 00:01:24.400 you know, national level kind of coverage kind of thing 25 00:01:24.439 --> 00:01:27.719 you mentioned to me before we started here this morning, 26 00:01:27.920 --> 00:01:29.280 you said in New York Times got in. 27 00:01:29.200 --> 00:01:30.120 Touch with you. Yeah. 28 00:01:30.200 --> 00:01:33.319 Yeah, So we we had had requests over ever since 29 00:01:33.359 --> 00:01:36.400 that we announced, and there was one week where I 30 00:01:36.480 --> 00:01:38.000 just said, you know, I'm gonna kind of filter through 31 00:01:38.040 --> 00:01:40.560 all these messages, go through the contacts and just kind of, 32 00:01:41.519 --> 00:01:43.599 you know, pursue these and that's kind of when all 33 00:01:43.640 --> 00:01:46.599 these stories broke. And so we've been on Newsmax, News Nation, 34 00:01:47.439 --> 00:01:51.680 Epic Times, Newsweek, ap Press all within the last two 35 00:01:51.719 --> 00:01:52.319 or three weeks. 36 00:01:52.480 --> 00:01:55.040 Well, you know, any coverage is great coverage unless they're 37 00:01:55.079 --> 00:01:56.959 just kind of slandering your dragon ouse. 38 00:01:57.000 --> 00:02:01.079 Obviously, the best coverage is fifty five k don't blow. 39 00:02:00.879 --> 00:02:03.040 Smoke out of my skirt, mister. And I'm happy to 40 00:02:03.079 --> 00:02:04.680 have you on because, of course, I know that you 41 00:02:04.680 --> 00:02:07.280 have the best interests of the city at Cincinnati, regardless 42 00:02:07.280 --> 00:02:10.319 of what people's political stripes are within the city. But 43 00:02:10.520 --> 00:02:13.199 you love the city. It's come through loud and clear. 44 00:02:13.319 --> 00:02:16.120 My conversations with you I know you care about the city. 45 00:02:16.159 --> 00:02:18.120 You were drawn back to the city after living in 46 00:02:18.159 --> 00:02:21.000 Tampa for a while. It's where your wife wanted to 47 00:02:21.039 --> 00:02:23.319 raise the kids. It's where you wanted to raise the kids. 48 00:02:23.400 --> 00:02:25.840 You've invested in the city with your coffee shop, You're 49 00:02:25.879 --> 00:02:29.080 invested in the community with your church. So you know 50 00:02:29.479 --> 00:02:31.520 you're you're connected with the city, and I know you 51 00:02:31.599 --> 00:02:34.199 care about it and you care about all the neighborhoods. 52 00:02:34.319 --> 00:02:36.479 It's just come through loud and clear, and I go 53 00:02:36.520 --> 00:02:38.719 back to my blessing and a curse thing. I think 54 00:02:38.719 --> 00:02:40.879 one of the obvious regions. You get some national coverage 55 00:02:40.879 --> 00:02:45.439 because you're the Jade Vance's brother, but you're not Jade Vance. Yeah. 56 00:02:45.479 --> 00:02:48.199 So I whenever we first announced, you know, I just 57 00:02:48.319 --> 00:02:50.280 knew that, no matter what, that was going to be 58 00:02:50.280 --> 00:02:53.080 the headlines, just because of the connection there. You know, 59 00:02:53.159 --> 00:02:55.960 I've stated multiple times that JD is an incredible role 60 00:02:56.080 --> 00:02:58.400 model of mine. To see what he's been able to 61 00:02:58.439 --> 00:03:01.400 accomplish just over the last two three years, it's just 62 00:03:01.479 --> 00:03:04.800 insane to me. But really, what did it for us? 63 00:03:04.879 --> 00:03:07.199 We obviously have the love for the city, are the 64 00:03:07.400 --> 00:03:11.560 internal compass we've always had is to impact lives in 65 00:03:11.599 --> 00:03:14.280 the city of Cincinnati. And so when I saw that 66 00:03:14.400 --> 00:03:17.240 at the inauguration, the impact that he was able to make, 67 00:03:17.560 --> 00:03:20.159 I was basically just inspired to say, hey, we can 68 00:03:20.199 --> 00:03:23.000 play our part locally and make an impact in our city. 69 00:03:23.240 --> 00:03:25.919 Yeah. And some of the interviews you've done recently with 70 00:03:25.960 --> 00:03:28.960 The enquire and of course the Epic Times and other outlets, 71 00:03:29.199 --> 00:03:31.879 you kind of point that out. When someone raises something, 72 00:03:31.960 --> 00:03:35.319 you know, issue wise, you always bring it back to listen. Yeah, 73 00:03:35.719 --> 00:03:39.439 and I'm just sort of paraphrasing here. Listen, it's not 74 00:03:40.080 --> 00:03:43.120 my issue to solve the problems in the Middle East. 75 00:03:43.199 --> 00:03:45.520 My issue is to fix the day and potholes in 76 00:03:45.560 --> 00:03:47.599 the city of Cincinnati. That's what I'm to be focused on. 77 00:03:47.919 --> 00:03:50.960 And that's a great point because our council people seem 78 00:03:51.000 --> 00:03:54.319 to think it's important to pass resolutions regarding Palestine or 79 00:03:54.439 --> 00:03:58.520 any random world problem that's going on, and that's not 80 00:03:58.599 --> 00:04:00.840 their role. The role is to focus on and again, 81 00:04:00.960 --> 00:04:02.680 fixing potholes among others. Yeah. 82 00:04:02.719 --> 00:04:05.680 Absolutely, so when like I've said this that whenever we 83 00:04:05.759 --> 00:04:08.199 first started getting the signatures to get on the ballot, 84 00:04:08.479 --> 00:04:10.919 I was asking people two questions, Can I have your 85 00:04:10.960 --> 00:04:13.680 signature to be on the ballot? And were the issues 86 00:04:13.919 --> 00:04:16.759 that are most important to you? And we've heard time 87 00:04:16.800 --> 00:04:20.480 and time again that it's money management, crime and infrastructure. 88 00:04:20.800 --> 00:04:24.439 And I think what our elected officials and city governments 89 00:04:24.480 --> 00:04:27.360 are failing to realize is that people from a local 90 00:04:27.439 --> 00:04:31.240 level need their streets fixed, they need their crime down, 91 00:04:31.560 --> 00:04:34.120 and they need the budget to be managed properly on 92 00:04:34.199 --> 00:04:36.839 a local level. And so we can't just copy and 93 00:04:36.879 --> 00:04:40.680 paste these federal issues when it comes to these local issues. 94 00:04:41.120 --> 00:04:44.519 Yeah, I was you don't know why I'm laughing as 95 00:04:44.519 --> 00:04:47.040 you were talking. I wasn't laughing at what you were saying, 96 00:04:47.560 --> 00:04:50.240 but when you mentioned the roads being fixed, I thought 97 00:04:50.240 --> 00:04:55.959 it very comical. The Inquirer's article mayor candidates pick top projects. 98 00:04:56.000 --> 00:04:58.600 So the Cincinnati Inquirer Scott Wortman asked, ever, really, what 99 00:04:58.680 --> 00:05:02.199 you're what's the projects you think should be get fixed? First? 100 00:05:02.639 --> 00:05:04.600 You know where you stand on the issues, and have 101 00:05:04.720 --> 00:05:08.800 to have purvols pave roads. That's his number one newly 102 00:05:08.800 --> 00:05:11.000 paved road in purbise apodles. And of course you mentioned 103 00:05:11.120 --> 00:05:15.600 existing infrastructure roads also as your number one need for 104 00:05:15.800 --> 00:05:18.600 the money, whatever the money you've spent on. But I mean, 105 00:05:18.680 --> 00:05:23.160 given the roads situation and the cities inability to keep 106 00:05:23.240 --> 00:05:26.160 up with what they're obligated to fix year after year 107 00:05:26.240 --> 00:05:29.000 after year. I mean, how long the Democrats been in control? 108 00:05:29.040 --> 00:05:30.480 How long does they have to have been around He's 109 00:05:30.480 --> 00:05:33.480 only now saying pave the roads. Well, that's what I 110 00:05:33.480 --> 00:05:35.600 don't get is that. I think it was at the 111 00:05:35.639 --> 00:05:38.680 debate where he stated that we inherited a four hundred 112 00:05:38.720 --> 00:05:42.000 million dollar deficit, and I'm sitting there thinking, well, who 113 00:05:42.000 --> 00:05:44.480 do you think you inherited from. We haven't had a 114 00:05:44.480 --> 00:05:48.879 Republican mayor since nineteen eighty and so it's the reality 115 00:05:48.920 --> 00:05:52.160 of it is that you can't just say right now, oh, 116 00:05:52.360 --> 00:05:55.000 this is what we're for in an election year. You've 117 00:05:55.040 --> 00:05:57.680 had four years to fix the roads. You've had four 118 00:05:57.759 --> 00:06:00.199 years to put these things on the priority list or 119 00:06:00.199 --> 00:06:03.439 your budget. We've had multiple years where we've had maybe 120 00:06:03.519 --> 00:06:05.439 a surplus or we've been able to look at the 121 00:06:05.480 --> 00:06:08.279 budget and see where it could go towards these priorities. 122 00:06:08.519 --> 00:06:11.959 But time and time again, we're getting promises that have 123 00:06:12.160 --> 00:06:15.279 not been made, that have not been kept, and the 124 00:06:15.319 --> 00:06:17.759 citizens are tired of it. And when I talk to people, 125 00:06:17.839 --> 00:06:20.160 I'm just telling this right now, everybody says it's an 126 00:06:20.199 --> 00:06:24.000 impossible situations in uphill battle. Half the people I talked 127 00:06:24.040 --> 00:06:26.439 to on the streets that are fed up with what's 128 00:06:26.480 --> 00:06:29.839 going on. They've voted Democrat in the year's past and 129 00:06:29.920 --> 00:06:31.959 they are just tired of it. So this race is 130 00:06:31.959 --> 00:06:35.000 not a Republican or Democrat issue. It's are we going 131 00:06:35.040 --> 00:06:38.360 to actually keep promises to the citizens and the residents 132 00:06:38.399 --> 00:06:40.759 of Cincinnati, or we're just going to play the same 133 00:06:40.839 --> 00:06:43.279 games for the next four years. You know what, as 134 00:06:43.319 --> 00:06:46.839 you put it that way, and you're right, fixing the 135 00:06:47.079 --> 00:06:51.600 roads is not a partisan stripe. This isn't like talking 136 00:06:51.639 --> 00:06:54.560 about sanctuary city or not. This isn't you know, talking 137 00:06:54.560 --> 00:06:58.279 about you know, social enacting some social welfare program or not. 138 00:06:58.399 --> 00:07:00.800 You know, they tend to fall on concern servative versus 139 00:07:00.839 --> 00:07:05.800 liberal topical issues. But I want my damn road fixed. 140 00:07:05.879 --> 00:07:07.879 You know, I remember this guy named Fred called in 141 00:07:08.000 --> 00:07:09.600 you fix my damn road. I said, I kind of 142 00:07:09.639 --> 00:07:11.839 wanted to make that a sort of a punchline or 143 00:07:11.839 --> 00:07:15.199 an off repeated phrase. Fred needs his road fix. He's 144 00:07:15.240 --> 00:07:17.120 not a Republican, he's not a Democrat. Maybe he is, 145 00:07:17.160 --> 00:07:20.199 maybe he isn't. He doesn't care. Politics, doesn't enter the equation. 146 00:07:20.399 --> 00:07:22.399 No, and I'm damn roads, and I'm just telling you 147 00:07:22.480 --> 00:07:24.759 right now, these are the games that are being played. 148 00:07:24.839 --> 00:07:28.360 This is an election here, so you will see all 149 00:07:28.439 --> 00:07:31.680 these elected officials all of a sudden now start posting 150 00:07:31.720 --> 00:07:35.120 things and start making comments publicly that yes, we need 151 00:07:35.160 --> 00:07:38.360 to fix our roads. But I'm tired of governments that 152 00:07:38.399 --> 00:07:42.319 are not being proactive. They're being reactive, and that's what 153 00:07:42.399 --> 00:07:44.759 we have to fix, is that from day one. I'm 154 00:07:44.800 --> 00:07:47.920 going to be sworn in as mayor in January, and 155 00:07:47.959 --> 00:07:50.800 we're going to have a January, February and March winter 156 00:07:50.959 --> 00:07:53.079 to where the first thing we need to do is 157 00:07:53.120 --> 00:07:55.920 put that as a priority. How are the snowplows, how 158 00:07:55.959 --> 00:07:58.519 are these affecting our roads? What is the summer that 159 00:07:58.560 --> 00:08:01.560 we need to prepare for or the damage to these roads? 160 00:08:01.600 --> 00:08:04.519 And then let's bring on more capacity to our roads 161 00:08:04.519 --> 00:08:07.720 to be able to take on larger events starting next year. 162 00:08:08.199 --> 00:08:10.639 Well, and it's you know, behind the scenes, it's been 163 00:08:10.639 --> 00:08:12.959 well documented, at least as I've been explaining, had had 164 00:08:12.959 --> 00:08:16.639 explained to do, you know, from folks like citizen watchdog 165 00:08:16.720 --> 00:08:19.120 Todd Zenzer, who really is great at shining the light 166 00:08:19.160 --> 00:08:21.240 on the financial woes that we're talking about. And we 167 00:08:21.319 --> 00:08:23.439 need some of those details a little bit. But that 168 00:08:23.839 --> 00:08:27.879 provoll views everything through the lens of equity and global 169 00:08:28.240 --> 00:08:30.519 climate change. Whatever the issue is in front of him, 170 00:08:30.519 --> 00:08:31.720 he's going to be thinking about that. So as you 171 00:08:31.720 --> 00:08:33.840 we're talking about we need to be prepared to deal 172 00:08:33.960 --> 00:08:37.679 with the roads as winter arrives, getting ahead of it 173 00:08:37.759 --> 00:08:40.240 and knowing what you need by way of equipment, what's working, 174 00:08:40.279 --> 00:08:42.279 what is broken down, what do we need to have fixed, 175 00:08:42.320 --> 00:08:43.960 what do we need to acquire. I mean, he would 176 00:08:43.960 --> 00:08:45.799 be thinking, well, we need to make sure it's electric. 177 00:08:46.159 --> 00:08:48.159 Well, no, here's the thing though, too, is that I 178 00:08:48.200 --> 00:08:50.600 believe it was yesterday he just posted that. You know, 179 00:08:50.679 --> 00:08:54.039 he was supporting an initiative that you know, raised up 180 00:08:54.080 --> 00:08:57.600 these leaders in a fifteen minute city policy type of thing. 181 00:08:57.639 --> 00:09:01.000 And I'm like, Cincinnati has fifty twoighborhoods, We have all 182 00:09:01.039 --> 00:09:04.879 these unique areas. You can't apply these policies of a 183 00:09:04.919 --> 00:09:09.679 fifteen minute city to the entire Cincinnati proper. It will 184 00:09:09.679 --> 00:09:12.600 not make sense to a city that is built on hills, 185 00:09:12.840 --> 00:09:16.039 that has snow, that has rain. Yes, we are for 186 00:09:16.159 --> 00:09:19.759 public transportation, but when it makes sense. And what's happening 187 00:09:19.799 --> 00:09:23.159 right now is we're copying pasting all these federal issues 188 00:09:23.279 --> 00:09:28.159 or all these national ideologies to a very unique city 189 00:09:28.279 --> 00:09:30.240 to where we have to think for Cincinnati. 190 00:09:30.480 --> 00:09:33.440 Yeah, it's I think it's a global fluming it like 191 00:09:33.440 --> 00:09:36.039 it was Agenda fifty one years back, that sort of 192 00:09:36.080 --> 00:09:40.440 was the beginning of all this sort of fifteen minute 193 00:09:40.480 --> 00:09:43.080 city conversation. That's a global thing. 194 00:09:43.200 --> 00:09:45.720 That's sort of a I didn't even need my coffee 195 00:09:45.799 --> 00:09:46.919 this morning talking about this. 196 00:09:47.080 --> 00:09:50.080 My Lord, I'm getting fired out seven to fifteen right now. 197 00:09:50.080 --> 00:09:52.159 We'll continue. We get a full hour with Corey and studio, 198 00:09:52.240 --> 00:09:56.639 get more issues, including Hyde Park. It's interesting developments going 199 00:09:56.679 --> 00:09:58.600 on out there and an issue that I think Corey 200 00:09:58.679 --> 00:10:03.000 might generate some some backing from my otherwise left leaning 201 00:10:03.000 --> 00:10:05.519 friends in Hyde Park as well. They should consider Corey. 202 00:10:05.559 --> 00:10:07.360 We'll talk about that and a lot more coming up. First, 203 00:10:07.399 --> 00:10:10.559 Color Electric.

And I think one of the things 253 00:12:27.200 --> 00:12:31.399 that differentiates you between you and and after that Parlol 254 00:12:31.559 --> 00:12:34.159 again going back you focus on city issues. He seems 255 00:12:34.240 --> 00:12:37.279 to think he's playing on a national stage, I mean 256 00:12:37.320 --> 00:12:41.639 advocating for you know, broader global principles when the city 257 00:12:41.639 --> 00:12:43.159 is since Ana has got so much issues on so 258 00:12:43.159 --> 00:12:45.480 many issues on its plate, but when it comes to 259 00:12:45.559 --> 00:12:52.120 actual city issues, I mean, I am shocked over the 260 00:12:52.159 --> 00:12:54.559 council and the Mayor's treatment of Hyde Park on this 261 00:12:54.720 --> 00:12:59.639 most recent waiver that they allowed a waiver in the 262 00:12:59.679 --> 00:13:02.960 face of what the community obviously did not want, this 263 00:13:03.120 --> 00:13:07.039 building proposal, what the height restrictions removed, and this specific 264 00:13:07.080 --> 00:13:11.399 development being approved by the council, in the face of 265 00:13:11.440 --> 00:13:13.759 what the residents of Hyde Park were shouting and screaming about, 266 00:13:13.759 --> 00:13:15.759 saying no, no, no, you're going to change the character 267 00:13:15.879 --> 00:13:20.759 of our community. Cities filled with multiple communities. You pointed 268 00:13:20.759 --> 00:13:23.799 out at it earlier, but that is the second slap 269 00:13:23.840 --> 00:13:25.440 in the face. The first slap in the face was 270 00:13:25.480 --> 00:13:27.840 to every community in the entire city of Cincinnati by 271 00:13:27.840 --> 00:13:30.879 forcing the zoning changes with this connected Communities proposal. 272 00:13:31.240 --> 00:13:33.639 Yeah, yeah, you're absolutely right. And I want to point 273 00:13:33.679 --> 00:13:35.639 out too that you know when you said that this 274 00:13:35.840 --> 00:13:38.039 is not just a slap in the face to Hyde Park, 275 00:13:38.080 --> 00:13:40.559 but to all the communities, this has already been done 276 00:13:40.600 --> 00:13:43.559 and bonded. Yeah, it's been but here's the thing about 277 00:13:43.600 --> 00:13:46.279 a lot of these areas. It's already been done, but 278 00:13:46.360 --> 00:13:48.879 it's been done in areas to where they don't necessarily 279 00:13:48.879 --> 00:13:51.960 have the financial backing in their communities to be able 280 00:13:52.000 --> 00:13:54.399 to fight it like Hyde Park has. So I really 281 00:13:54.399 --> 00:13:56.559 believe that Hyde Park has just been this thing that 282 00:13:56.600 --> 00:14:00.639 has ignited so many communities, so many neighborhoods in Cincinnati 283 00:14:00.799 --> 00:14:03.919 just to know is this cannot happen in our communities? 284 00:14:04.399 --> 00:14:06.679 Well, and I understand that since a business career is 285 00:14:06.679 --> 00:14:09.039 reporting that the neighbors in Hyde Park want to take 286 00:14:09.080 --> 00:14:11.879 that issue to the voters, I think they're com planning 287 00:14:11.879 --> 00:14:13.360 on putting a ballot an issue to h Yeah. 288 00:14:13.399 --> 00:14:15.879 Absolutely, And what I keep running on as well is 289 00:14:15.879 --> 00:14:20.519 that we have to see this race as issues, not 290 00:14:20.600 --> 00:14:24.360 necessarily as party affiliation or candidates. These are key issues 291 00:14:24.360 --> 00:14:27.720 that have impacted our city for the previous years and 292 00:14:27.799 --> 00:14:30.200 an issue like Hyde Park, you put that on the ballot, 293 00:14:30.399 --> 00:14:33.159 you're going to get a voter turnout of people that 294 00:14:33.279 --> 00:14:34.759 want to make their voices heard. 295 00:14:34.960 --> 00:14:37.639 Well, I suppose at the outset, if you were mayor, 296 00:14:37.679 --> 00:14:40.360 you would not have advanced the Community a Connected Communities 297 00:14:40.399 --> 00:14:43.399 proposal in the first instance, because you have experience with 298 00:14:43.559 --> 00:14:45.879 dealing with City of Cincinnati in terms of developers. We've 299 00:14:45.879 --> 00:14:47.000 talked about this before. 300 00:14:47.240 --> 00:14:49.720 Yeah, and so we're not against just like the people 301 00:14:49.720 --> 00:14:52.360 in Hyde Park, we're not against development. There needs to 302 00:14:52.399 --> 00:14:55.039 be growth. There needs to be development in city. We 303 00:14:55.200 --> 00:15:01.200 have so many historically beautiful properties that are vacant right now, 304 00:15:01.480 --> 00:15:03.799 and we actually need to be taking advantage of these. 305 00:15:03.840 --> 00:15:06.279 You don't want to talk about housing crisis. There are 306 00:15:06.320 --> 00:15:10.000 properties all over Cincinnati that developers over the years, from 307 00:15:10.039 --> 00:15:13.360 what I know, have been itching to be able to 308 00:15:13.399 --> 00:15:15.399 remodel these and to be able to sell them at 309 00:15:15.399 --> 00:15:18.799 market race, to be able to have housing in the community. 310 00:15:19.039 --> 00:15:22.559 But they're being torn down or at least hindered by 311 00:15:22.600 --> 00:15:24.200 this red tape of the city. 312 00:15:24.440 --> 00:15:27.279 But and I'm as you were talking about that, I 313 00:15:27.279 --> 00:15:31.120 was thinking, isn't that crazy? The city spent so much 314 00:15:31.240 --> 00:15:34.240 money offered so many tax and centers and property tax 315 00:15:34.240 --> 00:15:38.080 waivers and all that to redevelop over the Rhine, and 316 00:15:38.159 --> 00:15:41.279 all those buildings were not knocked down. They were converted 317 00:15:41.320 --> 00:15:44.080 into residences and they pay and the streets were taking 318 00:15:44.080 --> 00:15:45.399 care and they of course they got the street car. 319 00:15:45.600 --> 00:15:47.879 Oh my god, the streetcar, streetcar, street car. You know, 320 00:15:48.000 --> 00:15:50.759 Washington Park was redeveloped as an incentive for people to 321 00:15:50.759 --> 00:15:53.039 move and I think that was a wise investment, right there, 322 00:15:54.039 --> 00:15:54.759 a lost place. 323 00:15:54.919 --> 00:15:58.399 It does a lot of music exactly. It's a beautiful area, 324 00:15:58.519 --> 00:16:01.480 Washington Park OTR. It's and in credible, But we're still 325 00:16:01.519 --> 00:16:04.080 dealing with a lot of these issues of you know, 326 00:16:04.320 --> 00:16:07.679 basically putting these you know, developments in place that do 327 00:16:07.799 --> 00:16:11.320 not enhance the character of the community. And I think 328 00:16:11.399 --> 00:16:14.480 like in the West End, we already know that there's 329 00:16:14.519 --> 00:16:17.759 a lot of vacant historic buildings that are in West 330 00:16:17.879 --> 00:16:20.480 End and there's a lot of potential for us in 331 00:16:20.519 --> 00:16:24.360 the community. But we're watching what's happening in Hyde Park 332 00:16:24.440 --> 00:16:27.240 right now because we see it as they could come 333 00:16:27.279 --> 00:16:30.399 along some big developer that has his hands in the 334 00:16:30.399 --> 00:16:33.320 pockets of the city and just knows that they can 335 00:16:33.360 --> 00:16:36.639 develop an entire area in the West End, but completely 336 00:16:36.679 --> 00:16:40.600 disregard the voice of the community council and completely disregard 337 00:16:40.679 --> 00:16:41.320 the voice of the. 338 00:16:41.279 --> 00:16:44.600 People, especially if they're, in the words of Toddsen's are 339 00:16:44.759 --> 00:16:46.840 well connected developers. 340 00:16:48.759 --> 00:16:52.000 Never forget and I'll say this too, these issues right now. 341 00:16:52.080 --> 00:16:54.679 We're in the middle of a primary. Right now, we're 342 00:16:54.720 --> 00:16:57.559 in early voting May six, Tuesday as a primary. So 343 00:16:57.559 --> 00:16:59.879 a lot of people are talking about, you know, you've 344 00:17:00.039 --> 00:17:02.080 vote now. We vote November. That's what a lot of 345 00:17:02.120 --> 00:17:04.519 people talked about in Hyde Park. But they can vote 346 00:17:04.599 --> 00:17:07.400 right now to make a statement that hey, we're done 347 00:17:07.480 --> 00:17:11.400 with city officials that are not listening to our voice. 348 00:17:11.400 --> 00:17:13.079 So I would encourage people to get out and. 349 00:17:13.119 --> 00:17:16.599 Vote, you know, and I advocated earlier that even if 350 00:17:16.640 --> 00:17:19.359 my left leaning friends in Hyde Park, if they want 351 00:17:19.400 --> 00:17:22.240 to make a statement, if they're angry enough about this 352 00:17:22.319 --> 00:17:25.079 to start a ballot initiative to take back control or 353 00:17:25.200 --> 00:17:29.359 Hyde Park, even if it puts a distaste domestic, I 354 00:17:29.440 --> 00:17:31.680 never vote for a Republican We're not talking about a 355 00:17:31.680 --> 00:17:35.319 Republican Democrat issue here, We're talking about a bipartisan reality. 356 00:17:35.680 --> 00:17:38.000 Shouldn't you be able to control your own neighborhood at least, 357 00:17:38.000 --> 00:17:41.640 I perceive that as a bipartisan cast a protest vote. 358 00:17:42.640 --> 00:17:45.279 Vote for Corey Bowman.
