Enquirer editorial board
Voters will face a pivotal decision about the future of low-income housing in Cincinnati on May 4. Issue 3 is a charter amendment that would require Cincinnati to set aside $50 million every year for new construction of affordable homes and renovation of existing affordable homes.
Advocates of the ballot initiative say it is a long-overdue and much-needed investment in everyday citizens who are being priced out of the Queen City. Opponents of Issue 3 say it will cripple the city s budget and result in deep cuts to critical services such as law enforcement.
The Enquirer will host a virtual debate on Issue 3 at 1 p.m. Thursday, April 29. The hourlong debate can be viewed live on Cincinnati.com and The Enquirer s Greater Cincinnati Politics Facebook group.
