Opposition grows as Akron Chamber speaks out against housing issues on ballot
In the days after Akron Mayor Shammas Malik announced his own stance against two proposals intended to improve access to housing in the city, a groundswell of opposition from landlords and business leaders has followed. The board of the Greater Akron Chamber on Friday voted to oppose Issues 11 and 12, with President and CEO Steve Millard saying that the issues Freedom BLOC raised in pushing for the legislation were legitimate, but putting a pair of charter amendments on the ballot was not the right way to solve them.
