Cincinnati mayor proposes raising income tax to fight crime and poverty after 11-year-old’s shooting.
Cincinnati Mayor Aftab Pureval has proposed raising the city’s 1.8% income tax to combat rising crime and poverty, citing the January 1 shooting death of 11-year-old QueenEr’Re Reed in the West End as a catalyst.
The plan, to be introduced within 60 days, aims to fund expanded police and fire services, neighborhood safety initiatives, affordable housing, and support for minority-owned businesses.
Despite a $5.4 million safety plan approved in September, progress has been slow, with many promised cameras and lights still uninstalled due to property access issues.
Pureval emphasized accountability, pledged to expand the city’s partnership with the Ohio State Highway Patrol, and called for urgent action to address gun violence and systemic challenges in vulnerable communities.
