Hardin Urges Auditor Inclusion in Budget Debate
Columbus City Council President Shannon Hardin has proposed legislation to give the city auditor more authority over the budgeting process amid concerns over a projected $23 million overspend on police and fire department overtime in 2026. The legislation aims to have the auditor estimate future overtime expenses and contributions to the 27th pay period fund to improve fiscal oversight. Hardin's push comes amid ongoing disputes with Mayor Andrew Ginther over budget priorities, including the status of a large capital budget, while the city faces delays in bond sales and debates over financial planning.
