The Plan to Reduce Crime

Charlie Winburn will reduce the number of drug dealers, gangs and other criminals that are terrorizing the city. The best plan in order to reach this goal is to support the cops. Charlie Winburn will increase police presence by hiring 200 new officers. He will support pro-active police tactics that target street crime and stronger enforcement of anti-drug loitering ordinances. He will increase jail space by building a new jail and he will lock the criminals up. He will require public housing agencies to aggressively evict tenants convicted of criminal activity. In order to reach these tasks, Charlie Winburn will maintain a zero-tolerance: clamp down on all crimes--especially gun related.

The Budget and Spending Plan

He will create a fairer system that rewards long-time residents with lower property taxes, encourages people to stay in Cincinnati and attracts new residents and businesses to the community. Charlie Winburn will fight to eliminate wasteful spending in City Hall while supporting greater investments in crime fighting and fire safety.
