PAVELISH on FULL TIME COUNCIL

Julie Robers of Mt. Lookout asks the question about Cincinnati City Councilmembers and their part time work status and their true priorities.

Julie , I believe that City Council should be FULL TIME. I believe that Cincinnati is a big time city. I believe that Cincinnati is a major midwest city and FULL TIME leadership is needed. All the statistics show that PART TIME City Hall no longer works. I've campaigned on this since day one. But some politicians feel that FULL TIME Council would" get in the way at City Hall and try to micro manage everything." Even Channel 9 asked me about the micro managing "problem".

I believe that there is MUCH to be done. It would be a full time job just to streamline the building and zoning department. It would also be a full time job to meet with the investors (the ones that have left the City) and convince them to come back to the City, bring their assets, and jumpstart the rebuilding of our traditional neighborhoods. I believe that it is a full time job just to be accessible to our citizens.

But will FULL TIME Pavelish win?? Or will the voters elect part time AGAIN and start all over (on November 7) complaining about lack of a voice at City Hall.

P.S Julie, thanks for being involved in the process.

I can think of a million jobs that deserve to be full time. Why not start at City Council? You got my vote for 09.
