What Can 52 Do For You?
Cincinnati City Council candidate Mike Moroski asks What Can 52 Do For You?
He proposes that the city allocate money to neighborhoods not equally as is now done but based on population of the neighborhood. Neighborhoods are now all given $2,500 apiece (down significantly from 10-15 years ago). My bistro math indicates payouts would look something like this:
  • English Woods - $177
  • Hyde Park - $5,536
  • Mt Adams - $647
  • Northside - $3,263
  • Oakley - $4,557
  • Over the Rhine - $2,645
  • Pendleton - $393
  • Queensgate - $62
  • South Cumminsville - $350
  • Westwood - $13,088
What these various neighborhoods need, what they can afford on their own & what they pay in taxes could all come into play as well. This might be a start, although I don't know why you would even write a check for Queensgate's $62…
