"The City of Cincinnati is on the right path for the first time in many, many years The City Manager and I have had the City Council working collaboratively with us, along with regional governments and community stakeholders, to improve the City.
The current system to elect Council members rewards that collective approach. We do not need to change the system. We cannot afford a return to the chaos of the past. Join me in voting NO."
- Mayor Mark Mallory
On Election Day, Cincinnati voters will decide whether to adopt Proportional Representation (PR) designated issue 8, for electing Council Members. This is a very bad idea and should be defeated.
THANK YOU -- ISSUE 8 WAS DEFEATED!
The PR system proposed for Cincinnati gives voters 1 vote, rather than the current 9 votes. Do not give up your right to vote for all 9 seats on City Council. Protect all your votes by voting NO on Issue 8.
