On Friday we received some terrible news when the Hamilton County Board of Elections announced that the We Demand a Vote coalition collected 38,961 valid signatures to give the voters a right to vote on the Sales Tax increase enacted by Todd Portune and David Pepper. Since this group collected over 10,000 more valid signatures than required we realistically have no chance at stopping this in the courts. We now need to work to pass this tax hike.
This Coalition Against Safety is an extremist group and does not represent the views of most Hamilton County residents. Fortunately for us a group has surfaced who will lead the way in making sure this important tax increase is passed. As We Demand a Solution states on their website, they represent the majority of residents.
Just look at the 109 signatures they've collected to support their claim. These 109 people show the diversity of support behind this plan. With their support and your's, we can raise our Sales Tax another 1/2 cent and give our Sheriff and Commissioners another $864 million to spend on our behalf.

Of course, the group that collected 39,000 valid signatures is extreme and represents hardly anybody. But the crappy-looking website that's collected a whopping 109 e-sigs represents the majority.
