If the Columbus City Council wants to ask citizens to vote to expand the council, they must decide by the end of July. This will ensure it makes the ballot in November. The proposal would increase the council to nine members, divide the city into districts and maintain a few city-wide seats.
Today, we'll talk about the positives and negatives of a possible city council expansion.
Guests:
Rick Rouan, city hall reporter, The Columbus Dispatch
Will Petrik, Yes We Can Columbus and city council candidate
Keary McCarthy, Innovation Ohio
Paru Shah, political scientist, University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee
