Crowley for Streetcars--Financials Need to be Examined

I support the streetcar proposal. In fact I am not afraid to admit that I have seen the impact of the streetcar firsthand. When I was a kid I can remember riding the streetcar in Cincinnati. My friends and I would get a day pass and ride around the City all day long.

I supported the vote at Council because it represented the next step—we did not approve a financing plan. It is our duty as elected officials to ask questions about the proposed plan and its implications on the rest of the City’s budget. For example we should understand how the proposed financing plan would effect neighborhood infrastructure projects already in the pipeline. When the City Manager brings his recommendations to the Finance Committee in a few weeks I look forward to taking a hard look at the finances before a final vote is cast.
