Today on Hot Mic Cincy, we're asking one question that connects nearly every headline on the board: Who gets forgotten?
We'll begin in Gary, Indiana, where thousands of residents endured an extraordinary stretch without electricity after severe storms, and ask whether a community with more wealth and political power would have waited this long. Then we'll come home to Hamilton County, where a new juvenile court program is connecting court-involved young people with career opportunities. We'll also examine the dismissal of charges against former Cincinnati City Councilman P.G. Sittenfeld, Stephen A. Smith's clash with the National Association of Black Journalists, and Cincinnati's new Martin Luther King Jr. memorial in Avondale.
Every one of these stories raises questions about power, opportunity and whose voices get heard. Who gets another chance? Who gets held accountable? Who gets remembered? And who gets forgotten?
Pull up. Grab a chair. Jump into the chat. The best conversations don't begin with certainty. They begin with good questions.
No scripts. No handlers. No protection.
Just a mic and the pressure that comes with it.
