Chris Monzel must be stopped

How dare our Republican City Councilman Chris Monzel take a public stance against the Sales Tax increase! Sheriff Simon Leis and the Hamilton County Republican Party have made their decision and it is Monzel's duty to obey. He was not elected to do what he thinks is right, he was elected as a Republican to do what George Vincent and the county party expects of him.

Monzel is one of the worst Republicans we have. He has worked to cut property taxes. He opposed a Sales Tax increase for the light rail proposal. He opposed funding The Freedom Center, even though John Pepper asked nicely for that money. And now he opposes the Sales Tax increase for the $200 million jail and $600 million of other programs.

Monzel insults us all with his closing statement:

Until I see real, and innovative out of the box solutions; such as the modular units, semi-permanent structures, concrete blocks, and other more "chevy-like" ideas instead of going for the Cadillac, I cannot support a jail proposal at this time.

Just because Monzel works as an Engineer for GE doesn't mean he knows anything about building a jail. Why would anyone care what an Engineer has to say? Monzel should stick to what he knows best and leave the design issues to experts like Simon Leis and David Pepper.
