Summary

In this episode of Citizen Watchdog, Todd Zinzer discusses the complexities of taxation in Cincinnati, focusing on the recent tax increases, historical context, and the implications of government spending. He critiques the current city council's approach to managing taxes and budgets, emphasizing the need for fiscal responsibility and transparency in public finance. The conversation also touches on the impact of property tax reassessments and the potential for earnings tax increases, urging listeners to remain vigilant about government financial decisions. ****** CORRECTION NOTICE * ********* At approximately 13:20, Todd misstated the gross increase in county property tax collections. He said the increase was $128 million; the correct figure is approximately $184 million. The error understated the increase, and the overall point remains the same.
