SPEAK UP CINCINNATI! A new website launched for YOU
1888 Press Release Jason Lee Overbey, after being embroiled in a battle with the City of Cincinnati and the Mayor's office over operation of area sober living houses, has had enough of onesided political maneuvering. Today, he steps out from the controversy and launches SPEAK UP CINCINNATI. Now, there's ONE website in Cincinnati for news, government watch, and a forum for the people's voice! Speak Up! Cincinnati, OHKYIN In March 2014, the new Cincinnati Mayor and his City Administration began scrutiny of a group of sober living homes on the West Side of Cincinnati (Price Hill). All of this during a major drug epidemic in the Cincinnati area. These 7 houses had been in operation with no complaints and no incidents since early 2010.

The new administration and some smaller groups continue their unfounded allegations against New Foundations Transitional Living today while the drama plays out through attorneys. By July 2014, Jason Lee Overbey, the Director of New Foundations, had enough of it all. "There are over 120 clean and sober residents who are caught in the middle of a political battle that, honestly, stems from property value concerns. And yet, not one shred of proof can be brought to light showing any such decline in values. All the arguments they are raising against New Foundations are specious at best. All of them. We have fought since March for these residents. I will continue to fight. We have broken no law(s) whatsoever and I will not put up with political bullying based on unfounded claims when the lives of these men and women are in the balance. Addiction is a number one public policy issue in this region. Our work is part of the solution to that problem!" Jason Overbey said on July 4, 2014....
