COLUMBUS, Ohio — City Council President Shannon Hardin was initially looking at pausing police recruitment until the results of a hiring audit came back. But he says the concern was the council wouldn't have enough votes to approve the budget.
For the budget to pass, you need six out of seven votes. If the council didn't have enough votes, he says it would have delayed the entire budget for a month.
