Betrayed by our hero

We are extremely upset right now at Leslie Ghiz for taking a stand against the Cincinnati Public Schools tax levy. The schools badly need this money or they won't be able to close a deficit the Treasurer said they're facing. This levy would only cost homeowners an additional $300 per $100,000 of property valuation. We need our leaders like Ghiz to support this levy so CPS can continue to do great things for our community.

Ghiz's position disappoints us. She has been one of our best supporters of higher taxes. She has been a wonderful advocate for the Leis-Pepper-Portune Sales Tax hike for a new jail and $160 million of social spending programs. After compiling such a great record in support of higher taxes, we are at a loss to explain why Ms. Ghiz is siding with the likes of COAST now.
