Revised Metropolitan Sewer District deal addresses ethics, transparency and minority contracting

A revised plan for the future of the Metropolitan Sewer District, released Friday night, has more specifics about transparency, ethics and minority contracting. Hamilton County commissioners and a special Cincinnati City Council committee could vote on approving terms of that deal as soon as Monday, when they're scheduled to hold a joint meeting at the sewer district's offices in Queensgate. Hamilton County Commission President Todd Portune said negotiators from the county and city of Cincinnati made changes based on feedback from elected officials and the public over the past two weeks.
