Putting the lie to the Sale of the Cincinnati Southern Railroad (12.10.95)

 

The city council made a lot of money decisions today (12.10.25). One of the big agenda items was “item 58”.  The top screenshot is Item 58 as it is presented in the city council’s official agenda.

Below is what Iten 58 looks like when you and ask AI to explain what it says.

Understanding that the official agenda probably has some legal purpose, the people (and probably even the city council members) would benefit from a simplified agenda made public at the same time as the official agenda is distributed.

Also, as a result, we would more easily see that there is $20 million in unspent capital funds this year.

Consider this, if we had negotiated a new railroad lease of $34 million annually, which was last negotiated amount before they decided to sell, and added $20 million to that, it would just about match the $56 million distributed to the city by the Railroad Trust Board this year.

AND WE WOULD STILL OWN A RAILROAD!
