Civic stinginess blamed for Cincinnati’s slow development
The Reed report from the National Municipal League for the Wilder Foundation urges higher city taxes to fund recreation, health, and other services. It proposes increases of 1.15 per 1000 for improvements and 1.00 for services, totaling 2.15, costing a $5000 home about $10.75 yearly but improving livability. It criticizes pre-1924 political control, cites charter tax limits, and urges bond-law reform to ease funding.
