- 2:15Speaker 1: whole bunch of people cleaning Up west Broad street and
- 2:18Speaker 1: we went from Actually, FRANKLINTON i think we went from
- 2:22Speaker 1: right down at seventy In broad and we went west
- 2:26Speaker 1: To Wilson, road picking up, trash, debris, tires, whatever and
- 2:31Speaker 1: cleaning Up west Broad street on A saturday. Morning and
- 2:35Speaker 1: it was it was a Misty saturday, morning not pouring,
- 2:39Speaker 1: rain but it was it was moist out, there and
- 2:42Speaker 1: there were a whole bunch of people and a whole
- 2:44Speaker 1: lot of work got done that. DAY i was driving
- 2:46Speaker 1: a pickup truck as, well as Was Dewey stokes And
- 2:51Speaker 1: dewey AND i were like we were the. Collectors so
- 2:54Speaker 1: the crews were picking up the, trash filling. Bags we
- 2:57Speaker 1: were going, by picking up the bags in the getting
- 3:00Speaker 1: them to this big dumpster where everything was being. Collected
- 3:03Speaker 1: and so that. WENT i think we started at eight,
- 3:05Speaker 1: am If i'm not, mistaken like eight to, noon and
- 3:09Speaker 1: as noon, approached the weather was getting, better little sun
- 3:12Speaker 1: was coming. Out it was all over AND i, Decided
- 3:15Speaker 1: i'm going to Drive west Broad. STREET i want to
- 3:17Speaker 1: see the results of all of this, labor all of this,
- 3:19Speaker 1: effort all of this community out here. Today SO i

- 3:33Speaker 1: got there to the apex of the, hill as you
- 3:35Speaker 1: go down under the railroad, tracks there was a fast
- 3:38Speaker 1: food bag thrown in the middle Of west Broad. Street
- 3:41Speaker 1: and that was my last community clean.
- 3:42Speaker 2: Up that was.
- 3:43Speaker 1: It that was, it because you know, what my heart
- 3:47Speaker 1: was broken AND i was angry that all of this,
- 3:52Speaker 1: work and that's. It the fact of the matter, is
- 3:57Speaker 1: too many people are. Pigs too many people just don't
- 4:00Speaker 1: don't give a good damn about whether or not they
- 4:02Speaker 1: trash things or. Not they trash it as much as they,
- 4:05Speaker 1: can and once it reaches that level of filth where
- 4:08Speaker 1: they're no longer comfortable as if that exists by the,
- 4:11Speaker 1: way they, leave they move. On they trash something. Else
- 4:15Speaker 1: AND i just WHEN i saw that fast food, bag
- 4:18Speaker 1: LIKE i, JUST i was. CRUSHED i was absolutely. Crushing

- 4:24Speaker 1: that was just you, know volunteers out there doing something
- 4:28Speaker 1: for the. Community that wasn't a city, program that wasn't
- 4:31Speaker 1: a bunch of taxpayer. Dollars ALTHOUGH i Think Keep Clumbus
- 4:34Speaker 1: beautiful did provide the trash, bags If i'm not mistaken, anyway.
- 4:38Speaker 2: That wasn't a government. Program that was just, People And
- 4:47Speaker 2: i'm JUST i don't.
- 4:48Speaker 1: Know there are so many other things this city. Needs
- 4:53Speaker 1: the roads are in terrible. Shape fix the. Potholes how
- 4:55Speaker 1: many water main breaks have you seen?

- 5:06Speaker 1: and over here to the radio. Station in the, Afternoon
- 5:09Speaker 1: North Hagu avenue it's absolutely covered in water now it
- 5:12Speaker 1: was covered in ice when it was colder. Outside but
- 5:15Speaker 1: you cannot drive. In of, course under all that. Water
- 5:18Speaker 1: there's a big giant, Pothole so your suspension gets a
- 5:21Speaker 1: workout as you're coming down, there or you can choose
- 5:23Speaker 1: to try to swerve around, it in which case you
- 5:25Speaker 1: go into oncoming. Traffic it's been there for, weeks for,
- 5:29Speaker 1: weeks AND i have not seen any signage out there
- 5:32Speaker 1: that says the city will be working on this or
- 5:34Speaker 1: anything like. THAT a couple of years, ago maybe three years,
- 5:37Speaker 1: AGO i remember down in The franklinton area on the
- 5:41Speaker 1: alley Behind Grub, street the alley that runs west Of
- 5:45Speaker 1: Grub street Between grub and three point, fifteen there was
- 5:48Speaker 1: a literal geyser coming up out of that alley and
- 5:52Speaker 1: it was a geyser for. Months, Now why why water
- 5:58Speaker 1: is a precious. Commodity get to the middle of the,
- 6:00Speaker 1: summer we're talking about a. Drought everybody has to. Conserve
- 6:03Speaker 1: don't you use so? Much why why waste all that?
- 6:05Speaker 1: Water especially when the, government the city is in control
- 6:09Speaker 1: of that, water in control of the supply of, water
- 6:12Speaker 1: in control of the billing on that. Water and if
- 6:15Speaker 1: you don't pay your water, bill they will cut your
- 6:17Speaker 1: butt off in a. Heartbeat you AND i both know
- 6:20Speaker 1: that you need it to. Live water is essential to
- 6:24Speaker 1: live and to, flush to be sanitary in your. Home
- 6:27Speaker 1: and Occasionally i've heard that some.
- 6:30Speaker 2: People like to.
- 6:30Speaker 1: Bathe water is a necess set. Tee but the city
- 6:35Speaker 1: Of columbus will cut your butt off if you don't
- 6:38Speaker 1: get that water bill paid on their. Timeframe they don't.
- 6:42Speaker 1: Play so if it's that precious and if you have
- 6:46Speaker 1: to police it that much when it comes to the,
- 6:48Speaker 1: Bill why are these water leaks allowed to just just
- 6:52Speaker 1: spew spew water for months before anybody does anything about. Them,
- 7:00Speaker 1: SORRY i went off on a rant, there but, yay that's, uh.
- 7:04Speaker 2: That's the WAY i.
- 7:04Speaker 1: Feel, now we're going to spend more money doing a
- 7:07Speaker 1: bunch of nothing that will result in a bunch more
- 7:10Speaker 1: nothing down on The south. Side god bless people of
- 7:12Speaker 1: The south side Of. Columbus BUT i have a feeling
- 7:14Speaker 1: if they were, asked if they were, consulted if they
- 7:17Speaker 1: actually had some skin in the game when it came
- 7:19Speaker 1: to the decision making progress our, PROCESS i think that
- 7:22Speaker 1: they would probably tell you, that, yeah we have better
- 7:25Speaker 1: things to do with those tax. Dollars we have higher
- 7:29Speaker 1: priorities in this community than that right. Now or maybe
- 7:34Speaker 1: that's just. Me here's another six story about another six
