Betsy Sundermann calls for Wendell Youngâs suspension from Cincinnati City Council Cincinnati City Hall (Source: FOX19 NOW) By Jennifer Edwards Baker | May 5, 2021 at 8:14 AM EDT - Updated May 5 at 3:25 PM
CINCINNATI (FOX19) - Just hours after Cincinnati voters passed two anti-corruption issues Tuesday after a series of arrests and scandals rocked City Hall, Councilwoman Betsy Sundemann went to work trying to suspend for one of her colleagues, Wendell Young, following his recent indictment.
Sundermann made her request in a letter Wednesday to Clerk of Council Melissa Autry.
She asked the clerk to put forward a motion to suspend Young. That can happen once the election results will take effect in 10 days when the Hamilton County Board of Elections certifies the primary vote, Sundermann said.
