Not strictly Cincinnati but figured it merited a mention here.

    And because of that gerrymandering we often find an adverse relationship between the state government and the people. Last year’s big elections are a good example of it. The state was trying to ban abortion despite a consistent majority supporting it and the state wanted heavy regulation of marijuana despite a strong majority preference for recreational legalization. We had a direct democratic election that legalized both and the state government attempted to restrict them as much as possible anyways.
