Yesterday afternoon, we sat down with Mayor Michael Coleman to learn more about Issue One, the .5% tax increase proposal to help maintain city services and balance the city budget. Below we have posted the entirety of the audio of the discussion for everyone to listen in on. The first half of the podcast is composed of a presentation on the issue which gives some history on income tax in the City of Columbus, as well as information on why the Mayor feels that the increase is important. The second half is a Q&A session between the several local bloggers and the Mayor.
