Support our tri-partisan tax hikers

We hope to see everyone at the tri-partisan fundraiser tomorrow night for Democrat Jeff Berding, Charterite Chris Bortz, and Republican Leslie Ghiz. While none are perfect, each has been an effective voice for raising taxes and spending. By hosting this fundraiser together, they are showing themselves to be a model of working across party lines to make sure the government gets the resources it needs.

For a mere $150, we can here them explain to us why we need to raise the Sales Tax to build a large new jail, spend $160 million in new social programs, and provide for $600 million in new spending on other county programs. They will explain to us why the city of Cincinnati needs to provide $1 million in taxpayer funding for The Freedom Center every year. We can listen to Chris Bortz talk about why he votes to raise property taxes every year (and hopefully convert Ghiz and Berding to his side) and thank him for appointing mega-tax supporter Roxanne Qualls to Council.

If you can, try to give more than the $150 they are charging. From what we hear, their campaigns need this money more than you do.
