Passenger Rail Charter Amendment Debate

Tonight, the Uptown Consortium hosted a public forum on Cincinnati’s proposed passenger rail charter amendment. Bobby Maly of Cincinnatians for Progress and Mark Miller of We Demand a Vote gave opening statements before taking questions from the audience, submitted in writing and asked by the moderator.  Topics included the amendment’s impact on Cincinnati receiving funds for the 3C Corridor and Eastern Corridor rail projects, and the issue of charter amendments and direct voting in a representative democracy.

Below is the full debate, clocking in at 1 hour 7 minutes.  Only a few long breaks (due to microphone trouble) were edited out.  Stream it in the player below or download to your computer.
