Bibb and his administration oppose the proposed People’s Budget amendment, according to Ryan Puente, the mayor’s deputy chief of staff and government affairs officer.
“We have no interest in seeing shadow groups siphon off taxpayer resources,” said ACT-Ohio President Matt Szollosi, a former Democratic state legislator. “We have elections for a reason, and I think it sets a bad precedent.”. It would set aside 2% of the city’s general fund each year — roughly $14 million based on this year’s budget — so residents can choose how they want to spend it through a voting process overseen by an 11-person steering committee.
A number of Cleveland activists also testified against the bill Tuesday, including Molly Martin, a leader with the campaign that proposed the charter amendment. The Ohio Municipal League, a trade group that represents city governments, also testified against the proposal on the grounds that it would erode home rule powers.
