    The "Smither-vent" - Episode 88 - A Call for Accountability and Responsibility
    Apr 28 2025
    Former Vice Mayor of Cincinnati, Christopher Smitherman, joins us for a riveting discussion on the city's political scene, as we throw our support behind mayoral candidate Corey Bowman. We navigate through the stormy waters of Cincinnati's decision to sidestep zoning laws for a Hyde Park development, underscoring the vital role of community input in local governance. Our conversation weaves through the fabric of Cincinnati's "Connected Communities" initiative, which has sparked debate in various neighborhoods. We also cast an eye on the national stage, offering candid opinions on media bias and the White House Correspondents' Dinner, while touching on the media's handling of President Biden's health.

    Turning the spotlight on community safety, we explore the indispensable partnership between law enforcement and family responsibility. Highlighting the impact of strong family structures, we discuss how they can ease the strain on police, especially during the summer when schools are out. We delve into the challenges nightlife businesses face due to underage loitering, stressing the importance of allowing police to focus on their core roles. Our dialogue extends to the sphere of personal accountability, championing the resurgence of faith among youth and the critical need for individuals to own their actions. It's a call to action for schools to nurture a culture of personal responsibility and respect for authority figures, setting the stage for a more harmonious society.

  • Smither Vent - Hyde Park Zoning: Community Uproar and Political Consequences

    Smither Vent - Hyde Park Zoning: Community Uproar and Political Consequences
    Apr 23 2025
    Hyde Park's tranquil streets are on the brink of monumental change, and the community is buzzing with concern. A bold zoning alteration has paved the way for a 90-room boutique hotel and a 120-unit apartment complex, much to the dismay of residents who fiercely oppose the move. With over 4,000 signatures collected against this project, the decision by the city's Equitable Growth and Housing Committee has sparked significant unrest and could reshape the local political landscape. Joined by Christopher Smitherman, former Vice Mayor of Cincinnati, we dissect the contentious city council decision and its potential fallout on upcoming elections, urging residents to harness their collective voting power to influence governance and safeguard their community's character.

    Christopher provides a unique perspective on the importance of adhering to community agreements, a sentiment echoed by many during recent council meetings characterized by passionate public commentary. We explore the fears of Hyde Park residents regarding increased traffic and drastic structural changes while considering the broader implications of such decisions on city development. This episode sheds light on the significant political consequences city council members may face if they continue to prioritize special interests over community desires. As the controversy unfolds, we emphasize the pressing need for strategic voting and neighborhood unity to navigate this pivotal moment in Hyde Park's history.
