Cincinnati Council candidate Linda Matthews. Linda, it's a real pleasure
to have you on the program today.
Speaker 3 (01:07):
Good morning, Brian.
Speaker 4 (01:08):
How are you.
Speaker 1 (01:09):
I'm doing great. I'm even feeling better now. My understanding is,
according to my notes, you are a Republican I am,
and yet you're running for Cincinnati City Council. You know
what you're getting involved with, right.
Speaker 3 (01:21):
Linda, Yes, I do.
Speaker 4 (01:25):
Brian.
Speaker 1 (01:27):
It's a vote Lindamatthews dot com. Vote Lyndamatthews dot com.
Beautiful woman she is, and she's got some great policies here.
Let's dive into them. One of the biggest issues around.
I hear about it from Christopher Smithmen, former vice mayor
of the city, who joins my program every Monday to
vent his spleen, having a rip on Cincinnti City Council
and the mayor for not supporting more out loud and
(01:48):
advocating for the Cincinnti Police Department and dealing with all
the violence and acknowledging the violence in the city. Hell,
over the weekend we had seven people shot in the
Greater Cincinnati area, and just yesterday to this morning, two
more people. I mean, we got a real problem on
our hands. Linda what's your proposal to deal with the
police department relationships generally and as well as the violence
(02:10):
in the city.
Speaker 4 (02:12):
Well, Brian, Cincinnati definitely definitely needs new leadership. You know,
out of the nine current members on City Council, there's
not a Republican voice president to push and advocate for
Republican policies and values.
Speaker 3 (02:28):
And so with my Public Safety two.
Speaker 4 (02:30):
Point zero, I am recommending that.
Speaker 3 (02:33):
We advocately we aggressively.
Speaker 4 (02:36):
Train and train, higher, train and retain top pier law
enforcement professionals by expanding recruitment nationwide to restore Cincinnati police
force to a level needed for community safety.
Speaker 1 (02:49):
Yeah, their numbers are down, there's no question about it.
I talked with the FOP president on the program regularly
as well, and morale is also down. A lot of
people are planning on retiring, and we're losing some of
our officers to other police forces because of the low
morale and the lack of support from some city government.
So I appreciate that so lateral hires that that's going
(03:12):
on now, more police classes, and of course the funds
to support the police. How about your policy on zero
tolerance youth curfew. There is no reason for children to
be running amok in the middle of the night in
downtown Cincinnati. I think I support your idea about a
cur curfew.
Speaker 4 (03:29):
Yes, Brian, it's really sad what's going on in downtown
Cincinnati with all the deaths, and you know, like you said,
there are seven There were seven shootings over the weekend,
and some.
Speaker 3 (03:41):
Of them involved some of our youth.
Speaker 4 (03:42):
So I recommend, and I'm going to implement when.
Speaker 3 (03:45):
I'm elected to city Council.
Speaker 4 (03:48):
To implement strict, strict enforcement of our youth curve fee
laws to reduce this youth balance and to keep our
streets safe for all of our residents because right now,
people in say Citizens and Cincinnati do not feel safe.
Speaker 3 (04:03):
No.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
I mean, if you're an adult and you're surrounded by
thirty young people, there's not a damn thing you can
do about. If one young person comes up to you
might be able to handle the situation. But when they
cluster in gangs of youth and they represent a threat
to you, uh, that does not give anyone a feeling
of comfort. So we want to stop that. I guess
I have to ask this question out low Lenda Matthews again.
(04:26):
Vote Lyndamtthews Dot com It's one thing to have the
police enforce these laws you have, like for example, zero
tolerance and high crime areas. Enforce every infraction of city
law on high crime neighborhoods. I get that once the
word gets out, you're going to be dealt with in
the legal system. Maybe you'll quit doing that. That's one
of the elements of the criminal justice system. The problem
(04:47):
is when you have a liberal prosecutor and liberal judges
who are not interested in prosecuting these young people or
anybody to the fullest extent of the law. That's that's
where the failure, that's that leg of the stool the
criminal justice system gets kicked out. So police could do
things all day long. But if we deal with this
revolving door over at the on the enforcements or the
(05:09):
prosecution side, it's like fighting an uphill battle.
Speaker 4 (05:14):
Yes, Brian, it is, and it's like a revolving door
in a lot of cases.
Speaker 3 (05:18):
And the citizens are tired of it.
Speaker 4 (05:20):
They want new leadership and to deal with all the
violence and restore order and deter this criminal activity even
our if we pay I have also an initiative that
I would like to re implements to pay it the
power of citizens.
Speaker 3 (05:37):
To participate in their neighborhood patrols, the citizens on patrol.
Speaker 4 (05:41):
We need to reactivate that and you know that way
we can have citizens that are reporting suspicious activity with
youth are anyone and directed to law enforcement for a
faster community driven you know, prevention. And we just can't
keep doing the same thing over and over again without
(06:02):
positive incomes.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
Amen to that. Can't agree with that. More and out
loud government demanding that and asking for that and supporting
that concept would go a long way. Pause, Linda Matthews
will bring you back and we'll talk a little bit
more about your platform. Vote Lindamatthews dot com. First word

of the pain and not take pain pills and not
have surgery, and you've talked to your doctor about all this.

to a fifteen minute delay between Donaldson and Downtown. Northbound
fourth seventy One's over a ten minute delay from before
Grand thanks to an accident that has the left lane
(08:09):
block coming off of the bridge. Southbound seventy one break
upright it's above two seventy five towards Pfeiffer Chuck Ingram
on fifty five KRC lead talk station.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
At seven forty one fifty five krosite talk station talking
to Linda Matthews. She is a Republican runner for since
a city council, a lifelong Cincinnati and trustee at Central
State University, Ohio, Central Committee woman, graduate from Xavier University,
first vice president of the North Avendel Neighborhood Association. I
could go on. Obviously committed and familiar with the City
of Cincinnati and its issues. Linda Matthews, I want to
(08:43):
ask you about economic development. I think you've got a
home run in your economic development plan repeal connected communities
zoning laws.
Speaker 3 (08:52):
Yes, Brant, Yes, I.
Speaker 4 (08:58):
Feel that we have well, Cincinnati has fifty two unique communities,
and each one of them have their own specific needs,
and I trust the community councils, you know, and I
trust the citizen that live in those communities, and that's
why I support to repeal the connected communities. I assisted
(09:19):
in the effort to collect the signatures to put the
high Park issue on the ballot, and I encourage everyone
to vote down the development in the current form.
Speaker 1 (09:28):
Yeah, I mean, isn't it strange, Linda? The city shoves
connected communities down everyone's throats in all fifty two neighborhoods,
the entire cities under this development plan whatever the hell
connected communities happens to be. And then a well connected
developer shows up in Hyde Park and they issue a
waiver in a variance allowing them to completely disrupt the
(09:50):
entire Hyde Park Square over the Connected Communities development plan.
So it's like, what the hell's going on here? They
apparently did the same thing over in bond Hill. They've
taken away the Yeah, the concept of representative government just
doesn't even exist with the city council these days.
Speaker 4 (10:06):
That's right, and that's why I assisted in collecting those
signatures to repel.
Speaker 3 (10:12):
High Park issues.
Speaker 4 (10:13):
And I encourage our communities to continue to have a
voice and continue to fight for you know, representation and
what they want in their community is not what's going
to be shut down their throats. I support the repel
and you know, I asked everyone to vote, know, vote
(10:34):
down the current route and vote no and vote down
the development in High Park at its current Uh, in
this current farmt you know, the other.
Speaker 1 (10:43):
Thing that needs to be dealt with. And I talked
to Corey Bowman about this one as well, because he's
faced it himself. He's a West End resident and he
talks to other developers who want to do redevelopment of projects,
smaller projects, and they run into so much red tape
and so much obstruction from the sense out of a city. Uh.
Maybe that's not the council specifically, but the whoever's running
(11:04):
the zoning rules and the and the and the permitting
rules behind the scenes. It's just like you can't even
get anything off the ground. I trust that you're you
would like to streamline the process for development.
Speaker 3 (11:16):
Yes, I would.
Speaker 4 (11:17):
We need to streamline it so that we can get
more development that the people want in their communities and
they should not have to go through all this red
tape to get a development done in their community. So
we need to streamline those permits.
Speaker 1 (11:33):
Fair enough on that. Now, in terms of well about
economic growth is what are your what are your ideas
for economic growth? That seems to be the big that
what the city council claims to want. They're trying to
do everything they can to lure people into the city
of Cincinnati. One of the reasons they don't talk about
crime because obviously that's not good marketing to let people
(11:54):
know how dangerous it is. But in order to get
people wanting to move into the city, what are your
propose on that?
Speaker 3 (12:01):
While proposed that.
Speaker 4 (12:02):
We expand the Innovation District to support tech startups and
minority owned businesses, neighborhood entrepreneurs, and small shops. Excuse me,
small shops.
Speaker 3 (12:13):
We have to cut through this red tape. We have
to begin to encourage other young people in our communities.
Speaker 4 (12:22):
To start opening up businesses and that creates job and
give in senatives to companies that come into our city
that hire locally and especially in high unemployment areas. And
then we need to track and display the job growth,
new business creation, and local investment to ensure that all
(12:42):
voters can really see the results and not just a
bunch of promises.
Speaker 1 (12:46):
Amen to that. Well, it sounds like some wonderful ideas.
Linda Matthews again. Vote Lindamatthews dot com. You can see
all of her points and what she's hoping for public safety,
economic development, education and opportunity. I hear this since a
public schools are laying off a whole bunch of people,
they're on shaky grounds right now. Are you for education
choice by any chance, London?
Speaker 3 (13:07):
I am for.
Speaker 4 (13:08):
Education choice and also I'm for expanding our stam education
and moving towards trades trades. Yeah, I demand and we
need our children and trades not just for.
Speaker 3 (13:22):
Now but for the future as well.
Speaker 4 (13:25):
So we need to redesign some structuring in our public.
Speaker 3 (13:29):
School system so that children.
Speaker 4 (13:31):
Can have access to still education, but also if it's
not doing well, their parents have a choice to move
their child to another school.
Speaker 3 (13:41):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (13:41):
I appreciate that all day long, London, And yes, there
are huge demand for trades and those are career opportunities.
Those aren't just jobs. Those are something you can support
your family with and on into the future. And let's
face it, Linda, they can't be replaced by artificial intelligence,
which is something everybody's all worried about these days.
Speaker 4 (14:00):
That's right, they cannot because everyone needs an electrician, everyone
needs a plumber, everyone needs someone in construction, needs their
jobs that are just in demand.
Speaker 3 (14:11):
Yes, AI people are scared or AI is gonna take
a bunch of jobs. But when you think of a
STEM and when you think of the trades, I mean,
those are jobs that just they're not going anywhere.
Speaker 1 (14:25):
They can't.
Speaker 3 (14:26):
We need to focus on that.
Speaker 1 (14:28):
Well, Linda, I wish you all the best in the
world again. Vote Linda Matthews dot com. You can learn
about her and find out about her background as well
as her initiatives and her policies. And you know, we
certainly could use a refreshing, a different voice on council.
This lockstep democrat control has not done the city a
whole lot of favors over the years, and you know,
it's a refreshing to have someone maybe speak a little
bit of truth to power and maybe you're that person.
(14:49):
I'll encourage my listeners to check you out and support
your campaign.
Speaker 3 (14:54):

Yeah, I mean, isn't it strange, Linda? The city shoves
connected communities down everyone's throats in all fifty two neighborhoods,
the entire cities under this development plan whatever the hell
connected communities happens to be. And then a well connected
developer shows up in Hyde Park and they issue a
waiver in a variance allowing them to completely disrupt the
(09:50):
entire Hyde Park Square over the Connected Communities development plan.
So it's like, what the hell's going on here? They
apparently did the same thing over in bond Hill. They've
taken away the Yeah, the concept of representative government just
doesn't even exist with the city council these days.
Speaker 4 (10:06):
That's right, and that's why I assisted in collecting those
signatures to repel.
Speaker 3 (10:12):
High Park issues.
Speaker 4 (10:13):
And I encourage our communities to continue to have a
voice and continue to fight for you know, representation and
what they want in their community is not what's going
to be shut down their throats. I support the repel
and you know, I asked everyone to vote, know, vote
(10:34):
down the current route and vote no and vote down
the development in High Park at its current Uh, in
this current farmt you know, the other.
Speaker 1 (10:43):
Thing that needs to be dealt with. And I talked
to Corey Bowman about this one as well, because he's
faced it himself. He's a West End resident and he
talks to other developers who want to do redevelopment of projects,
smaller projects, and they run into so much red tape
and so much obstruction from the sense out of a city. Uh.
Maybe that's not the council specifically, but the whoever's running
(11:04):
the zoning rules and the and the and the permitting
rules behind the scenes. It's just like you can't even
get anything off the ground. I trust that you're you
would like to streamline the process for development.
Speaker 3 (11:16):
Yes, I would.
Speaker 4 (11:17):
We need to streamline it so that we can get
more development that the people want in their communities and
they should not have to go through all this red
tape to get a development done in their community. So
we need to streamline those permits.
Speaker 1 (11:33):
Fair enough on that. Now, in terms of well about
economic growth is what are your what are your ideas
for economic growth? That seems to be the big that
what the city council claims to want. They're trying to
do everything they can to lure people into the city
of Cincinnati. One of the reasons they don't talk about
crime because obviously that's not good marketing to let people
(11:54):
know how dangerous it is. But in order to get
people wanting to move into the city, what are your
propose on that?
Speaker 3 (12:01):
While proposed that.
Speaker 4 (12:02):
We expand the Innovation District to support tech startups and
minority owned businesses, neighborhood entrepreneurs, and small shops. Excuse me,
small shops.
Speaker 3 (12:13):
We have to cut through this red tape. We have
to begin to encourage other young people in our communities.
Speaker 4 (12:22):
To start opening up businesses and that creates job and
give in senatives to companies that come into our city
that hire locally and especially in high unemployment areas. And
then we need to track and display the job growth,
new business creation, and local investment to ensure that all
(12:42):
voters can really see the results and not just a
bunch of promises.
Speaker 1 (12:46):
Amen to that. Well, it sounds like some wonderful ideas.
Linda Matthews again. Vote Lindamatthews dot com. You can see
all of her points and what she's hoping for public safety,
economic development, education and opportunity. I hear this since a
public schools are laying off a whole bunch of people,
they're on shaky grounds right now. Are you for education
choice by any chance, London?
Speaker 3 (13:07):
I am for.
Speaker 4 (13:08):
Education choice and also I'm for expanding our stam education
and moving towards trades trades. Yeah, I demand and we
need our children and trades not just for.
Speaker 3 (13:22):
Now but for the future as well.
Speaker 4 (13:25):
So we need to redesign some structuring in our public.
Speaker 3 (13:29):
School system so that children.
Speaker 4 (13:31):
Can have access to still education, but also if it's
not doing well, their parents have a choice to move
their child to another school.
Speaker 3 (13:41):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (13:41):
I appreciate that all day long, London, And yes, there
are huge demand for trades and those are career opportunities.
Those aren't just jobs. Those are something you can support
your family with and on into the future. And let's
face it, Linda, they can't be replaced by artificial intelligence,
which is something everybody's all worried about these days.
Speaker 4 (14:00):
That's right, they cannot because everyone needs an electrician, everyone
needs a plumber, everyone needs someone in construction, needs their
jobs that are just in demand.
Speaker 3 (14:11):
Yes, AI people are scared or AI is gonna take
a bunch of jobs. But when you think of a
STEM and when you think of the trades, I mean,
those are jobs that just they're not going anywhere.
Speaker 1 (14:25):
They can't.
Speaker 3 (14:26):
We need to focus on that.
Speaker 1 (14:28):
Well, Linda, I wish you all the best in the
world again. Vote Linda Matthews dot com. You can learn
about her and find out about her background as well
as her initiatives and her policies. And you know, we
certainly could use a refreshing, a different voice on council.

whole lot of favors over the years, and you know,
it's a refreshing to have someone maybe speak a little
bit of truth to power and maybe you're that person.
