Recap of Tuesday's historic City Council Election

On today's Cincinnati Advance Radio we had a discussion with local political expert, Xavier University's Dr. Gene Beaupre. We also heard clips from the candidates at the Board of Elections talk about their excitement, the mood of the voters and what their plans are for the new City Council. Dr. Beaupre also addressed the remarkable shake-up at City Hall - likely the biggest change in more than 70 years - and what that might mean for the city.

Interestingly, Dr. Beaupre said he was encouraged by the remarkable talk of teamwork among the elected members Tuesday night. Candidates-turned-Council members-elect all seemed to be on the same let's-work-together page, adding that might bode well for a very productive and effective City Council, he said.

Thank you to Dr. Beaupre for coming on the show. He is always a wealth of information and insight on the local politcal scene.

Also, our apologies to Jill Miller Zimon, the Cleveland-based author, who was supposed to be our guest for the "Advancing Cincinnati" segment. Because of a technical glitch we were unable to get her phone call and hope to re-schedule her for sometime in the near future.
