Here are the top three stories in Cincinnati today:

  1. Over the next several weeks, Cincinnati residents will have an opportunity to weigh in on the Mayor and city manager's proposed budget for the fiscal year 2023 before the City Council finalizes it. The first public meeting to discuss the $1.5 billion spending guide took place Thursday, Jun. 2 at Madisonville Recreation Center. Last week Mayor Pureval said, "We have listened to the community, we have worked together with council to establish clear priorities and goals, and the administration and I are confident that the budget embodies and executes on those goals." (Spectrum News 1)
  2. Maximo Herrera and Joel Rosario were arrested in Cincinnati for allegedly bringing 29 kilos of cocaine and five kilos of heroin from California to the Tri-State area. Investigators were led to the men after they stopped a car hauler in El Reno, Oklahoma, and found drugs inside the vehicle. Investigators had the driver call his contact and set up a meeting, which ultimately led to the arrests of Herrara and Rosario. (WKRC TV Cincinnati)
  3. In an effort to remove a barrier to tenants looking for housing, inactive eviction records will no longer appear on the Hamilton County website. The new policy guidelines will also remove cases on a rolling basis once they've been inactive for three years. Inactive cases are either fully paid or dismissed. (WVXU)

Are you a Cincinnati resident looking for an investment alternative to the stock market?

Bloomberg recently asked experts where they'd invest $100,000 right now, and many of them had the same answer: fine art.

Thinking you can't afford a Picasso? Well in 2012, Congress passed the JOBS Act, which allowed for the securitization of artwork. A company called Masterworks.io built the largest platform for buying and selling art securities. In the past, you could only buy shares of companies like Apple, but with this investing app, you can unlock this powerful investment.

Meaning, you can invest in shares of million-dollar artwork. And in uncertain times, it turns out, fine art may be a wise investment. Here's why:

  • Low correlation to stocks according to Citi
  • Contemporary art historically returns 23.2% when inflation is >3%
  • Contemporary art prices outpaced the S&P 500 by 164% (1995-2021)
