Shannon Hardin

No, thanks.

Uh, Council President Shannon Hardin somehow makes it, makes it go on a salary of a p- of a paltry $98,000 a year.

Uh, however, uh, the, uh, commission, the Citizens Commission...

I bet it's full of citizens.

[upbeat rock music] Uh, Fox News is celebrating its, uh, 30th year in business.

I don't know if Lacey Crisp of Channel 10 is trying to get a f- job at Fox News, but she's doing [laughs] great reporting on the corruption of Franklin County Commissioner Erica Crawley and the corruption at, uh, City Hall with Andrew Ginther and, uh, Shannon Hardin bickering back and forth.

Uh, now Lacey Crisp has, uh, filed a Freedom of Information Act request.

You remember the dust-up at, uh, Old Crew Stadium, July 2nd, America 250 concert, Erica Crawley, Franklin County co- uh, Franklin County commissioner there, uh, on free tickets, brought her gal pal friends.

Now, after Erica Crawley had to, uh, come clean, and of course she's not gonna answer any questions.

She's gonna make a statement.

That's like how you do it in Columbus if you're Andrew Ginther, if you're Shannon Hardin.

You don't answer any questions 'cause you might get tripped up 'cause you're really not that smart of a person.

Um, we also have, uh, good news in New Albany.

They're getting a $2.2 billion Bayer Pharmaceuticals plant, which is, you know, definitely something they need right now, given all the headaches that are going on [laughs] at City Hall, where the, uh, disagreements between City Council President Shannon Hardin and the people on city council who are definitely gonna vote for him for mayor over Andrew Ginther, uh, are blowing up virtually every day.

What are they spatting about now? Well, it is over Andrew Ginther using the, uh, Barrack Recreation Center.

I thought it was Barack, 'cause I mean, you know, as woke as Columbus is, and it's spelled B-A-R-A-C-K, I figured it had to be named after Obama, but apparently it's not.

It is reckless and irresponsible for the mayor to demand that council pass his budget without first doing our due diligence and holding a hearing for the public.

public.Now, given the tone of her comments, uh, you will probably not be surprised to know, according to Jordan Laird of The Dispatch, who said he re- he asked, uh, Ms.

De Archauer if, uh, Shannon Hardin would be a better choice [laughs] for mayor or whether Andrew Ginther would be a better choice for mayor.

And she said, not shockingly, that Shannon Hardin would be better.
