Support Cheviot's property tax increase

Dear fellow tax hikers, right now Cheviot serves as an exciting example of what happens when tax-and-spend Republicans and tax-and-spend Democrats work together to take more resources from the citizens so that the government can spend more. In just one week Cheviot's citizens will have the opportunity to vote themselves a big property tax increase. This 5.61 mill levy would cost the owner of a $100,000 home an additional $160 per year in higher taxes.

We at Republicans for Higher Taxes enthusiastically endorse this tax increase. Cheviot's government needs this money more than its residents do. Recently all of Cheviot's tax-and-spend elected officials joined together to beg for your vote. Who can argue with the detailed numbers and professional reasoning in that editorial? By raising taxes, Cheviot can take advantage of their unique positioning being near the city of Cincinnati and in the Cincinnati Public Schools system. This big tax increase brings Cheviot's tax structure more in line with Cincinnati, and soon enough they may even be able to provide that same effective government as Cincinnati.

The citizens should feel confident that Cheviot's government spends their tax dollars just as efficiently as the Cincinnati Public Schools. This is not the time for voters to be selfish. This is a wonderful chance for Cheviot's citizens to increase their tax burden so they can become more and more like the city of Cincinnati. We encourage the fine citizens of Cheviot to vote for this big property tax increase in August, then vote for the Cincinnati Public Schools big property tax increase in November. Tax us more!

A tax increase you say? Why sign me up! I wasn't named "tax hiker of the year" for nothing. I have obligations to the people!

I am proud to see my fellow Democrats working together with good Republicans to support a tax increase in my home district! I'm working hard to raise taxes at the federal level and need the elected officials in Cheviot to do their share to raise taxes at home.

I read through both of those Community Press articles and failed to see one solid reason to vote for this tax hike. Are we supposed to raise our own taxes in the middle of a recession just because Keller and City Council says so?

If this keeps up I'm going to have to move. I can't afford to keep paying higher and higher taxes to live here. I'll remember those who signed that letter when I go to the ballot box.

Keller sucks said...

Does Mayor Sam Keller know how to do anything but raise taxes? He endorsed the big Sales Tax increase that most of us in Cheviot opposed. Now he wants a big property tax hike too. What's next, an income tax hike as well? Keller needs to go!

Glad to see Cheviot is finally getting on board with the high-tax movement. This tax increase on the hard-working people of Cheviot will undoubtedly bring them limitless prosperity. Look what my tax hikes did for the State of Ohio!

I guess that sexy bald bailiff Charlie Norman isn't on board with this.

Raise taxes and get rid of the Jews, and maybe I'll move to Cheviot.
