Simon Says: Build the Streetcar

Dear fellow tax hikers, our great Sheriff Simon Leis has just announced his endorsement for the streetcar!  We hope this endorsement will do more for the streetcar than his prior endorsements have done for Leslie Ghiz, Tom Weidman, Michelle Schneider, Betty Montgomery, Greg Delev, John Dowlin, Jim Sumner, Eric Minamyer, and his $777 million Sales Tax hike.  When a big government candidate or program needs support, Si is always there!

In his endorsement letter, Simon says:

The fares are free in a large area of the central city.....Every streetcar was crowded, but not uncomfortably so.

That says it all.  Because there were a lot of people riding the streetcar in Portland when the fare cost $0, obviously it is worth a $200 million expenditure in Cincinnat!  The city can worry about all its other problems later.  Simon says we need a streetcar now. 

And just think, if the streetcar fails in Cincinnati like it did 50 years, no problem - we can just turn it into a moving jail!  See, it'll help us one way or another.  Bring the streetcar back to Cincinnati.  It probably won't fail again.

Summer Vacation

Dear fellow tax hikers, we realize we haven't updated our site recently.  But have no fear, we haven't gone away.  We just decided to take a vacation. 

After a draining primary season where we had to watch some of our best friends go down to defeat, we were some seriously mentally exhausted tax hikers!  We know you understand the feeling.  Can you imagine how tiring it is to carry Leslie Ghiz and Michelle Schneider on our backs? 

We will provide semi-regular updates over the next month.  By Labor Day we will be back to updating regularly.  Our loyal readers deserve nothing less than our best when it's election time.  Until then, let's keep raising some taxes!
