Loveland, Ohio – Resident Lauren Enda spoke at the council meeting on Tuesday. Enda said she retired in Loveland after working at the National Security Agency. She began by saying, “After thirty years of doing my part to protect the United States, I did not expect to continue to do that role in retirement, but here I am.”

She continued by outlining instances of Mayor Kathy Baily suppressing free speech at council meetings.

Enda spoke mostly about a proposed parking garage in Historic Downtown and the message she sees sent by voters via the recent election. “One council member indicated he was opposed to that garage and he won the most votes. The message is clear. Loveland voted against the garage,” Enda said.

Enda wants the question of building a garage put to a formal vote. She says Council should determine the will of the residents by putting the question on the May 3, 2022, ballot.
