Speaker 1 (00:09):
Hi, Billy Cunningham, the great American first Rights Baseball kicks
off tonight. Coverage begins at six point five at Lance
McAllister and more. But there's big doings, as you may know,
on the Amony County Commission. And there's been some frankish
involving Alisia Reese in which the inquiry led yesterday that
there was a set to inside the commission meeting and
(00:32):
h Alisha Reese supposedly stormed off and didn't want to
deal with it anymore, which was the Children's Services Levy.
And also today the County Commissioners allegedly, according to media accounts,
had to vote to let the UH the bonds for
the further improvement of pay Corse Stadium. Those are important issues,
would you agree? And I've noticed that when there are
(00:54):
not members of the opposite party available to fight with
the party, whether it's Democrat Republican fight with each other.
In Washington, d C. There's four or five or six
US Senators fully Republican, who do not want to vote
with the Republicans because they have their own ideas. But
Alisha Reese will now respond to all these issues and more.
(01:14):
And Alisha Reese welcome again to the Bill Cunningham show.
Your timing is impeccable. So Alisha, can you tell the
American Can you tell the American people you know you
and I go back a while, would you agree we
go way back, way back thirty years? But nonetheless, explain
now to the American people, Well, what happened yesterday when
(01:37):
you quote storm dial accounts Commission about the children about
the Children's Services levee and also letting the Bengal bonds
and so where are we now politically? And the Commission
on this two issue the Bengal bonds to pay for
the improvements and secondly the Children's services levy that according
to the staff, needs to be improved by seventy two
percent more. Explain that to the American people.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
That's a loaded question. Willly. First of all, my number
one issue is affordability. Everywhere I go. The folks that
voted for me, the two hundred and eighteen thousand plus people,
they stopped me at the grocery store, so they just
can't afford it. The groceries are going up. They call
me about Duke Energy trying to go up thirty percent more.
They said they just can't afford it. And I called
(02:21):
on the governor to halt aaty increases to the gas
and electric bill. I'm still waiting to hear back from him.
I go to the gas station. I can't even pump
my gas. People say, man, it's this too high. People
are stopping me, my neighbors. I come out of my house.
My neighbors are telling me I can't hold onto this house.
The property taxes are going to going up way too high.
(02:43):
I go to the doctor. I can't even go to
the doctor where I was stopping. Somebody said, then the
healthcare costs and the cod page, I don't know if
I can afford my medicine. Then I got people renting saying,
wait a minute, to rent them way up. I don't
know if I can stay here. The number one issue
is afford ability. And the people elected me to come
down to the Hamilton County when I got here, to
(03:05):
shake it up, open up the process and let people
know what's going on. So what happened yesterday. We've got
a children's levee and the children we've got to make
sure we fund the children. And I just it just
bothers me. We've got the wrong message in Hamilton county
where the children have to keep going to the levee.
(03:26):
And then grandma and grandpa got to keep up in
their property taxes where they're trying to hold onto their house,
and they got to make a decision do they hold
on to their house or do they help the children.
But then the billionaires with the stadiums, which are luxuries.
And I love football and I love baseballs everything, but
those are luxuries. They only went to the ballot one
(03:47):
time and they get funded for a lifetime. I said,
we've got to switch it. And so what I tried
to do yesterday is say, listen, we can't afford a
seventy two percent increase. The original was eighty eight percent.
To go up on your property taxes by eighty eight percent.
Then they came back with seventy two percent. I told
(04:07):
the administrator, no way. We've got to figure out a
way where grandma can hold on our house and we
can fund our foster children. And so I came up
with an idea to say, listen, let's look at everything.
So I wanted to look at the stadium sales tax,
and it says that we can use a portion, not
(04:28):
take all of it, but take a percentage of it
ten percent of more to lower the cost on the homeowner.
That and we still be able to fund our children's services.
And so when I said that, every time I say
let's give a break to the homeowner, every time I
say let's give a break to the taxpayer, the administration,
(04:51):
they just blow up. And yesterday I was talking to
Jeff Aluno, the administrator, because the organizational charts has the
commissioners and then a loudo reports to us and then
everybody else reports to him. Well, one of the people
that reports to him jumped up, ran up to the
podium uninvited, and started getting upset. And that's the same
(05:13):
person when I said, hey, we got to give the tech.
We told the taxpayers that will be a thirty percent
rollback when they voted for this in the late nineteen nineties,
and we got to give them the thirty percent, and
that says and every time they blow up. But I
got the thirty percent passed twice. But they just whenever
you say give a break to the homeowner, whenever you
(05:35):
say give a break to the tax payer, everybody get mad.
When really that's who we're supposed to be working for.
So yesterday when they got upset when I said we
can do this, let's look into this and get your
pencils out. They want to make my staff do it.
And I ain't got the two people, and they got
a whole army of people. And so I had to.
(05:58):
I said, I had to adjourn my sell on behalf
of the taxpayers. I don't ask you this question myself.
I only half of the homeowners.
Speaker 1 (06:07):
So your proposal is what today?
Speaker 2 (06:10):
What happened? Let me tell you whatever. So today, after
I went out, they came back now with some options
today of ten percent. Okay, so that's a win to
even put it on the table. So today we voted
for two options that might be ten percent, and we'll
consider it on Monday. But had I not walked out,
(06:31):
had I not stood up for the homeowners, they weren't
even going to consider it.
Speaker 1 (06:35):
So the ten percent instead of eighty eight percent increase,
instead of a seventy two percent increase, Allegedly on Monday,
you're going to know there might be a ten percent
increase on the Children's services levy that would go on
the ballot that people have to is a ten percent
is going to be the increase? Or is ten percent.
Let me ask you this question. Primarily, I use the
word primarily as an attorney, which means mainly, so the
(06:57):
sales tax primarily goes this improvements. The word primarily also
means it might be something left over. So can you
take some of the Bengal money from the sales tacks
and use it for the children's services?
Speaker 2 (07:09):
Levy, I believe we can. The administrator and administration because
you know, they get nervous when they touch the stadium.
When stadium people call all of a sudden, you would
think they've got staff over here. They start getting pencils
and pans, and we got to make sure we do
it right for the for the stadiums. And then when
I say what about the homeowners, Oh no, we can't
(07:31):
do that. It can't be possible. We're broke, you know.
So my point is it can be used. I'm gonna
keep fighting for it. It doesn't have to be all used.
We could take a percentage out of that borrow against
future earnings and put it toward the children's services, which
will then lower the cost on the homeowner. Now, ten
(07:53):
percent is one that I got on. I got to
be considered. It doesn't mean it's the only one they got.
They gotta thirty nine percent, they got a Now we
got a ten percent. I think it's a fifty percent.
There's a seventy two percent. All of these will be
considered and Monday is the final vote. But it makes
common sense. But the thing is, no one wants to
(08:15):
do anything different. They want to just, you know, let's
just keep taxing the people. Let's just let's tax them,
make them pay. And at the same time, Willy, you've
got CPS. They're talking about a tax increase, whether it's income,
whether it's property. At the end of the day, you
get one pot money and you look at your bills
(08:35):
and you line them up and you say, oh my god,
I got over here, I got an increase over here,
so my check is smaller. Okay, wait a minute. Over here,
Duke Energy wants thirty percent more. Okay, over here, we've
got a property tax seventy two percent. You add all
that up and that's what comes out of your check.
So we got to look at what everything that's going
to be on the table. And you know, the one
(08:58):
win today, I'm not saying it's final win, but they
weren't even going to consider ten percent until Tuesday when
I said I got, I gotta walk out on behalf
of the homeowners. I want to win, win. I want
to win for our foster kids. They should not be
walking around here having to go to the ballot. These
are foster kids. They can't control how you know, the
(09:22):
who they were born to and all that. And now
we post the kids, we give them lip service. But
then over here we fund the stadiums permanently, and the
stadiums should go to the ballot and the people can
make their decision. That won't happen. The children should be fun.
Speaker 1 (09:37):
And so what I hear Alisha Rees saying is that
when the Bengals got the deal like thirty some years
ago in perpetuity, it wasn't before the voters one time
and it passed. But these other levees such as the
Zoo Levee, the Senior Services levee, the Children's Services levee,
the Crime Information Center levee, the Park District Levee, the
Developmental Disabilities Levee, the Mental Health levee, the indigen Care
(10:02):
Hospital Levee, the Family Services Treatment Levey, the Public Library
at Levey, the General County Fund Levey, the Joint vocational School,
Levey Levey, Levey Levy. All those are voted on on
a regular basis for an increase. But the Bengals, Bengals,
you vote one time thirty five years ago and it's
on autopilot. You want the voters to vote on the
Bengals getting the money. And you're saying you can't get
(10:24):
that done.
Speaker 2 (10:26):
I'm saying, yeah, and it can be done. Got lawyers
calling me, said it can happen. And every time I
jump up when you say that. And we knew that
the Children's services was coming before they voted on the
deal for the Bengals. You could have could I kept saying,
hold up, let's look at hold hold on.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
I'm coming every Salmond ho homeowners.
Speaker 2 (10:50):
Oh man, but I say, give a break to the homeowners.
There seems to be an anger. Man.
Speaker 1 (10:56):
You know, at least you reached me.
Speaker 2 (10:58):
I said this.
Speaker 1 (10:58):
You may not agree with me on this one, but
I deal with Washington issues all the time. And Donald
Trump has been fighting the deep state in Washington, d C.
And Donald Trump came to the job horizontally, didn't come
up from the bottom all the way up. And so
you're kind of like Alisia Reese the Donald Trump of
the Commission because you came, shall we say that.
Speaker 2 (11:18):
I wouldn't say that I'm a fighter for the people.
Speaker 1 (11:23):
And so you got the deep state? What Jeff Alito
is the deep state? And I mean, so the deep
state is Jeffalito and they want to go their own way,
as if they're on top of you instead of you
on top of them. Right, because the deep state down
to the Commission saying we only can do it this way.
And then you got Alisha Reesa and wait a minute,
look at all these levies that we're paying for and
about to I would imagine this thing. According to a
(11:46):
media accounts, the Board of Education is going to put
a point seventy five percent, which I don't think that'll pass,
to be honest with you, because all this other stuff,
but who knows. But at least you're fighting for the taxpayer,
for common men and women, just like Donald Trump.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
Well, all I can say, will you know, I've been
fighting for the people for thirty years before there was
a truck in the White House, and I'm going to
continue to fight. The reality is the people sitting me
down here to shake this place up. We've shaken it up.
We're doing things. You know, but we remember when the
veterans were getting the funding we've got. Now the veterans
(12:22):
finally are getting funded and we got a big free
event August fifteenth of TQL to help the veterans at
today am you know. We got to make sure that
the children. The children shouldn't be out here like they
are now in Limbo, and then Grandma shouldn't be scared
she's getting ready to lose her house. The number one
issue is affordability and everybody should be on that. It's
(12:45):
attacking every They don't care what party you are, what
color you are, if you and the urban or suburban,
it's hitting you. And we have to be cognizant of that.
And we've got to do some new things. The days
of property tax that pay for everything. I've told the
it's coming to an end. We've got to come with
some new ways and some new innovations. But we can't
(13:05):
be like today. We just did a six hundred million
dollar deal for the for the Bengals stadium. Today in
the same breast, we don't have the money for the children.
That is the long.
Speaker 1 (13:17):
Message says that the Bengals are worth six to seven
billion dollars. We're talking about money, we're talking about that's
some serious jack and the Bengals are you saying the
Bengals get almost whatever they want and disabled kids have
to pay the price.
Speaker 2 (13:35):
As soon as the Bengals call where every very stops,
they run, they go, get the Bondon Council, they go,
get everybody budgeting, stop what they're doing. We got to
do it. We got to do it. And then in
the same breath, after you done promoted this deal, now
you don't promoted this deal knowing that the children's services
is coming. I don't you know, there's some people that
(13:56):
know all the budgets before we know it. You knew
this was coming, and you you recommended this Bengal deal
and then you knew the children was getting ready to
be bankrupt and broke. It's the wrong message. The children
should be funded and the as a necessity, and the
stadiums is a luxury, and that people can go to
(14:18):
the ballot if they like to add those luxuries. And
so they're telling me, well, we can't do it because
it's a hurt of the stadiums. I said, well, they
could go to the ballot. They got the money to
go to the ballot. Let the people vote, but the children,
they should be the ones already funded. So I came
up with a way to do it. We you know,
(14:38):
we're not gonna don't. I'm not supporting seventy two percent.
I'm not supporting eighty percent because I don't believe it
can pass from what I'm hearing from the citizens I'm
running into at the churches, the gas stas, everywhere I go,
the hospitals. They so we got to have something that
will pass, and we got and this can help keep
the cost down. We could take that from the stadium fund,
(15:03):
borrow against the the we always borrow in barrow against
the future, and maybe the economy get better. But right
now we can't put it all on grandma and grandpa.
And at the same chat, we can't show us nervous
on whether they're going to be getting the help they need.
Speaker 1 (15:19):
All Right, we got to run, you know, Radio Alisha Reese.
But I say Barbara would be very proud of her daughter,
because we have at least one county commissioner looking out
for Grandma and the children. All these other levees are
coming up soon too, I mean, Alisia, we're going to
be voting on all these levees constantly. In fact, my
look at my property tax bill. The Children's Services levee
is the highest levee that I pay for. And I
(15:40):
don't mind paying for disabled kids and kids in need.
They didn't ask to be born. It's a problem while
all these other levees, I've started to voting against every levee.
I say no, no, no, no, no, I'm voting no, no, no.
You have enough money, deal with it. At least we
have one county commissioner saying enough is enough. We have
thirty seconds remaining. You don't have the other vote with
Stephanie and Denise. Mika Owens is going to be on
(16:02):
the commission in about four or five months. Do you
see a day in the future when the taxpayer will
vote whether to give the Bengals and Reds money or not?
Is that day coming? Because I know you're saying it.
The other two say no, So well you went on
the issue of the people voting yes or no.
Speaker 2 (16:18):
We don't know. I can't speak for her. You have
to have her on your show to speak to that.
I don't speak because we're not even allowed to talk
to each other. Once she's elected, But what I can say,
I've been fighting. Some I lose, but I don't want
a whole lot. I got to thirty percent twice, I
got the Veterans budget, I got the small business and today,
at least I got to ten percent on the agenda.
Speaker 1 (16:38):
You hate, you hate to hear this. I know you're rejected,
But you're the Donald Trump of the amNY County Commission.
Speaker 2 (16:45):
Oh no, I'm a Lisa Reese of the County Commission.
Speaker 1 (16:48):
Maybe Trump is the Elisha Resa Washington. He's the Elisha
Resa b Well, good luck to Alicia. Keep fighting. Barbara
would be very happy from heaven above. Congratulations, Thank you, God,
bless America. Continue with more. That's Aleisha Reese, the taxpayer,

(10:02):
Hospital Levee, the Family Services Treatment Levey, the Public Library
at Levey, the General County Fund Levey, the Joint vocational School,
Levey Levey, Levey Levy. All those are voted on on
a regular basis for an increase. But the Bengals, Bengals,
you vote one time thirty five years ago and it's
on autopilot. You want the voters to vote on the
Bengals getting the money. And you're saying you can't get
(10:24):
that done.
Speaker 2 (10:26):
I'm saying, yeah, and it can be done. Got lawyers
calling me, said it can happen. And every time I
jump up when you say that. And we knew that
the Children's services was coming before they voted on the
deal for the Bengals. You could have could I kept saying,
hold up, let's look at hold hold on.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
I'm coming every Salmond ho homeowners.
Speaker 2 (10:50):
Oh man, but I say, give a break to the homeowners.
There seems to be an anger. Man.
Speaker 1 (10:56):
You know, at least you reached me.
Speaker 2 (10:58):
I said this.
Speaker 1 (10:58):
You may not agree with me on this one, but
I deal with Washington issues all the time. And Donald
Trump has been fighting the deep state in Washington, d C.
And Donald Trump came to the job horizontally, didn't come
up from the bottom all the way up. And so
you're kind of like Alisia Reese the Donald Trump of
the Commission because you came, shall we say that.
Speaker 2 (11:18):
I wouldn't say that I'm a fighter for the people.
Speaker 1 (11:23):
And so you got the deep state? What Jeff Alito
is the deep state? And I mean, so the deep
state is Jeffalito and they want to go their own way,
as if they're on top of you instead of you
on top of them. Right, because the deep state down
to the Commission saying we only can do it this way.
And then you got Alisha Reesa and wait a minute,
look at all these levies that we're paying for and
about to I would imagine this thing. According to a
(11:46):
media accounts, the Board of Education is going to put
a point seventy five percent, which I don't think that'll pass,
to be honest with you, because all this other stuff,
but who knows. But at least you're fighting for the taxpayer,
for common men and women, just like Donald Trump.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
Well, all I can say, will you know, I've been
fighting for the people for thirty years before there was
a truck in the White House, and I'm going to
continue to fight. The reality is the people sitting me
down here to shake this place up. We've shaken it up.
We're doing things. You know, but we remember when the
veterans were getting the funding we've got. Now the veterans
(12:22):
finally are getting funded and we got a big free
event August fifteenth of TQL to help the veterans at
today am you know. We got to make sure that
the children. The children shouldn't be out here like they
are now in Limbo, and then Grandma shouldn't be scared
she's getting ready to lose her house. The number one
issue is affordability and everybody should be on that. It's
(12:45):
attacking every They don't care what party you are, what
color you are, if you and the urban or suburban,
it's hitting you. And we have to be cognizant of that.
And we've got to do some new things. The days
of property tax that pay for everything. I've told the
it's coming to an end. We've got to come with
some new ways and some new innovations. But we can't
(13:05):
be like today. We just did a six hundred million
dollar deal for the for the Bengals stadium. Today in
the same breast, we don't have the money for the children.
That is the long.
Speaker 1 (13:17):
Message says that the Bengals are worth six to seven
billion dollars. We're talking about money, we're talking about that's
some serious jack and the Bengals are you saying the
Bengals get almost whatever they want and disabled kids have
to pay the price.
Speaker 2 (13:35):
As soon as the Bengals call where every very stops,
they run, they go, get the Bondon Council, they go,
get everybody budgeting, stop what they're doing. We got to
do it. We got to do it. And then in
the same breath, after you done promoted this deal, now
you don't promoted this deal knowing that the children's services
is coming. I don't you know, there's some people that
(13:56):
know all the budgets before we know it. You knew
this was coming, and you you recommended this Bengal deal
and then you knew the children was getting ready to
be bankrupt and broke. It's the wrong message. The children
should be funded and the as a necessity, and the
stadiums is a luxury, and that people can go to
(14:18):
the ballot if they like to add those luxuries. And
so they're telling me, well, we can't do it because
it's a hurt of the stadiums. I said, well, they
could go to the ballot. They got the money to
go to the ballot. Let the people vote, but the children,
they should be the ones already funded. So I came
up with a way to do it. We you know,
(14:38):
we're not gonna don't. I'm not supporting seventy two percent.
I'm not supporting eighty percent because I don't believe it
can pass from what I'm hearing from the citizens I'm
running into at the churches, the gas stas, everywhere I go,
the hospitals. They so we got to have something that
will pass, and we got and this can help keep
the cost down. We could take that from the stadium fund,
(15:03):
borrow against the the we always borrow in barrow against
the future, and maybe the economy get better. But right
now we can't put it all on grandma and grandpa.
And at the same chat, we can't show us nervous
on whether they're going to be getting the help they need.
Speaker 1 (15:19):
All Right, we got to run, you know, Radio Alisha Reese.
But I say Barbara would be very proud of her daughter,
because we have at least one county commissioner looking out
for Grandma and the children. All these other levees are
coming up soon too, I mean, Alisia, we're going to
be voting on all these levees constantly. In fact, my
look at my property tax bill. The Children's Services levee
is the highest levee that I pay for. And I
(15:40):
don't mind paying for disabled kids and kids in need.
They didn't ask to be born. It's a problem while
all these other levees, I've started to voting against every levee.
I say no, no, no, no, no, I'm voting no, no, no.
You have enough money, deal with it. At least we
have one county commissioner saying enough is enough. We have
thirty seconds remaining. You don't have the other vote with
Stephanie and Denise. Mika Owens is going to be on
(16:02):
the commission in about four or five months. Do you
see a day in the future when the taxpayer will
vote whether to give the Bengals and Reds money or not?
Is that day coming? Because I know you're saying it.
The other two say no, So well you went on
the issue of the people voting yes or no.
Speaker 2 (16:18):
We don't know. I can't speak for her. You have
to have her on your show to speak to that.
I don't speak because we're not even allowed to talk
to each other. Once she's elected, But what I can say,
I've been fighting. Some I lose, but I don't want
a whole lot. I got to thirty percent twice, I
got the Veterans budget, I got the small business and today,
at least I got to ten percent on the agenda.
Speaker 1 (16:38):
You hate, you hate to hear this. I know you're rejected,
But you're the Donald Trump of the amNY County Commission.
Speaker 2 (16:45):
Oh no, I'm a Lisa Reese of the County Commission.
Speaker 1 (16:48):
Maybe Trump is the Elisha Resa Washington. He's the Elisha
Resa b Well, good luck to Alicia. Keep fighting. Barbara
would be very happy from heaven above. Congratulations, Thank you, God,
bless America. Continue with more. That's Aleisha Reese, the taxpayer,
