City Budget– lay offs looming for city officials. Budget cuts will leave firefighters and police out of a job. Not to mention more pools will close. How will our children and adults learn to swim or save a life?
Dohoney’s proposal also recommends:
• Keeping all 26 fire stations open, but closing down some companies. Marc Monahan, president of the International Association of Fire Fighters Local 48, said the plan would be “right at the edge” of shutting down entire firehouses. By “company,” the department means one fire engine or fire truck.
• Reducing income tax reciprocity to 50 percent with other municipalities that have income taxes. That would mean some people who live in Cincinnati and work in other cities that also have income taxes, such as Blue Ash, would pay more to Cincinnati than they do now. That would raise $3.2 million a year.
• The “Pay to Throw” trash fee could lessen in the future for households that throw away less and recycle more.
• Cutting free movies and concerts now offered by the parks department, reducing funding for the regional and African-American chambers of commerce, eliminating funding for the Cincinnati poison control center, and asking Cincinnati Public Schools to pay for school nurses. If the schools can’t help, the document says the program will be “severely reduced.”
