Some are considering how to limit the use of city funds for related criminal investigations. Others, like Pureval, are offering more protections for city employees.

In Cincinnati, Pureval has committed to offer travel reimbursement for any of the 6,000 city workers who need health care services not locally available. He has also directed his administration to examine how to decriminalize abortion in the city and “to prioritize law enforcement resources to protect the health and safety of women and medical care providers.”
