While Columbus, Cleveland and Cincinnati are Ohio’s major metropolitan areas, the state has many smaller cities and rural communities.
The members of the bipartisan Ohio Mayors Alliance hope the old cliche about a rising tide raising all boats rings true.
Dozens of Ohio mayors are asking state lawmakers to refocus on the state’s core cities to help pay for municipal needs, including first-responder salaries and city redevelopment grants.

Guests:
- Keary McCarthy, executive director, Ohio Mayor Alliance
