Voters will decide on whether to create a $14 million annual budget deficit and reallocate the funding to future projects that would be decided upon by a to-be-determined, unelected group of people.
CLEVELAND, Ohio - This November, Cleveland voters will decide if residents as young as 13 will have a say in how the city spends a portion of its budget.
But some council members have made their position very clear, including Blaine Griffin, the council president. A news release issued a city council spokesperson claimed the the $14 million that would be reallocated could lead to “massive layoffs and have a devastating impact on the city.
“The statement released by city council is very misguided and honestly is using fear tactics that feel unfair,” said Martin. “I think we should trust Cleveland residents that when it comes down to how our public dollars should be spent, they’re going to vote on projects that are going to make their community a better place to live.”
