As opposed to enticing businesses to come to Cincinnati through tax breaks an effort should be made to make Cincinnati a better enviroment for businesses. Things like street cars provide cheap reliable access to transportation for people who would otherwise shun working downtown because of inflated parking costs. Cracking down on blighted buildings makes the enviromment looks more professional... Etc.

Why does the city give companies like Convergys 10 million dollars to create 7 jobs, but says it can't afford a few thousand dollars to keep public pools open from late August until Labor Day? <BR/><BR/>I think that smart investment that encourages buisness on a level playing field is a great revenue creater. The street car system is great, it brings people downtown just to see it and use it. It creates a buzz, and benefits everyone downtown who lives, works, and does buisness.Nathan Wissmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06162541450984584557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7390337542384857267.post-23713356178713488672008-03-24T21:24:00.000-04:002008-03-24T21:24:00.000-04:00What alternative revenue generating program would ...What alternative revenue generating program would you prefer?Jamie Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16715946854484449804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7390337542384857267.post-46893729939694760702008-03-19T20:28:00.000-04:002008-03-19T20:28:00.000-04:00I haven't read the study about the cameras making ...I haven't read the study about the cameras making people slam on their brakes but I can believe it. I've seen many younger drivers stop for yellow lights and almost get rear-ended by people behind them who were planning on going through. It might help if the cameras had a time-readout that showed how long the light was red. (A lot of cameras can do this automatically so it wouldn't cost taxpayers anything.)<BR/><BR/>Of course, that wouldn't generate as much money in tickets.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
