Council votes ‘no’ for Summer Youth Employment Program, citing tight turnaround
A pitch to create a youth employment program for kids ages 14-18 was denied in a 4-3 vote by the Covington City Council, with concerns of a time crunch. Council members Charika Davis and Anthony Henderson presented the Summer Youth Employment Program (SYEP) before the council during Monday’s meeting. The two spoke at-length — over 15 minutes — pleading their case for why the SYEP should be implemented this summer and beyond.
