MT. LOOKOUT, OH (FOX19) -Issue 4 opponents gathered in Mt. Lookout and Hyde Park to hand out literature and yard signs on Monday night.

The Vote No on Issue 4 campaign, Citizens for Accountability in Government, had volunteers getting the word out about the issue. They say Issue 4 is a self-serving Cincinnati charter Amendment to give council members more pay and longer job security.

Issue 4 will be on the Nov. 6 ballot for Cincinnati voters. If passed, it would increase the term limit for City Council members from two to four years.
