Episode Details

Cincinnati Public Schools is facing a major political twist as they consider backing out of their own plan to put a controversial earned income tax on the November ballot — a move that could reshape how residents fund education in the city. Originally approved to stabilize budgets amid rising costs and shrinking state support, the tax would hit workers who live or work within the district — even if you commute from outside. But backlash over transparency and accountability has sparked pushback from both voters and politicians. Now, at an upcoming August meeting, the board may vote to rescind the tax proposal entirely — potentially reopening the door to alternative funding options. The motion was quietly added at a board member’s request, though community pressure likely looms behind the scenes. What happens next? Tune in to find out.
