NOT CLEAR WHAT LED UP TO THIS CRASH. WE DO KNOW THAT THE PERSON WAS TAKEN TO THE HOSPITAL WITH MINOR INJURIES. WE’LL LET YOU KNOW AS SOON AS WE LEARN MORE ON AIR AND ONLINE. 602 THE CONTROVERSY SURROUNDING CINCINNATI POLICE CHIEF TERRY CVG IS TAKING A NEW TURN. CITY LEADERS CONFIRMED THEY PLAN TO HIRE AN OUTSIDE LAW FIRM TO HANDLE THE INTERNAL INVESTIGATION INTO HIS LEADERSHIP. MEANWHILE, DIVISION IS GROWING BETWEEN MAYOR AFTAB PUREVAL AND THE FRATERNAL ORDER OF POLICE. THE POLICE UNION HAS BEEN CRITICIZING THE MAYOR AND PUSHING FOR CHANGES TO CITY POLICY. AND NOW THIS. THE UNION’S MESSAGE THAT WILL BE ON FULL DISPLAY DOWNTOWN. IT WILL BE A MOBILE BILLBOARD SHOWING THE MAYOR AS A PUPPET MASTER. AND IT’S SET TO BE SHOWN AROUND THE CITY. AT THE CENTER OF THEIR ISSUE IS ISSUE FIVE. IT’S A POLICY THAT WAS PUT IN PLACE BACK IN 2001 THAT GIVES THE CITY MANAGER NOW, CHERYL LONG, THE FINAL SAY IN DECISIONS ABOUT TOP CITY LEADERS, INCLUDING THE POLICE CHIEF. BEFORE THAT CHANGE, POLICE CHIEFS COULD TURN TO THE UNION FOR SUPPORT IN EMPLOYMENT DISPUTES. MEANWHILE, CITY COUNCIL MEMBER SETH WALSH IS CALLING FOR MORE TRANSPARENCY. IT IS. IT IS A STRANGE LAY OF THE LAND ON HOW THIS IS PLAYED OUT. I THINK THAT I THINK PART OF IT IS BEING INFLUENCED BY HOW THE CHARTER IS WRITTEN, BUT THIS IS, I THINK, THE BIGGER POINT AND CONCERN THAT I’VE HAD THE ENTIRE TIME, WHICH IS DECISIONS ARE BEING MADE AND IT’S NOT BEING CLEARLY TRANSMITTED TO US. AND THERE MAY VERY WELL BE LOGIC AND REASON BEHIND WHAT’S GOING INTO IT THAT IS JUST NOT BEING SAID. AND JUST COME OUT AND SAY IT. JUST WALK PEOPLE THROUGH WHAT THE PROCESS IS AND WHAT THIS IS GOING TO LOOK LIKE. AS FOR THE OUTSIDE ATTORNEYS, THE CITY SAYS IT’S STILL REVIEWING PROPOSALS. MAYOR PUREVAL SAYS THE INVESTIGATION COULD TAKE MONTHS. IN THE MEANTIME, ASSISTANT CHIEF ADAM HENRY IS SERVING AS THE INTERIM. YOU CAN EXPECT ANY UPDATES ON AIR AND ONLINE AND RE
