In the wake of Cincinnati City Councilman Wendell Young s indictment Thursday on a felony charge of tampering with evidence, two Republican council members are calling on the Democrat to resign so council can focus on city business without distraction.
Republican Councilwoman Betsy Sundermann said: Council member Young must resign immediately so we can focus on the real issues impacting Cincinnati. . the people of our city deserve much better than this revolving door of corruption.”
Republican Councilwoman Liz Keating said: Today is another sad day for Cincinnati. While Councilmember Young is entitled to his day in court, I hope he will step down to remove the distractions and mistrust at City Hall in order for Council to move forward with the important work we have in front of us.
