Cincinnati Mayor Mark Mallory and other officials held a round table discussion with reporters Tuesday to talk about the benefits of the parking lease for the city.

Mallory was asked why he decided to hold the session now? He says to get the facts out.

“Particularly when there’s so much misinformation out there about how this plan works,” Mallory said. “So we can’t talk about the facts enough.”
