Dear fellow tax hikers, we made one significant omission in our Peter Stautberg endorsement piece that ran yesterday. Stautberg endorsed a No vote on Cincinnati's 2009 Issue 9, a Charter Amendment which would have stopped the city's streetcar. We have editorialized in favor of the streetcar from the beginning and we very much appreciate Stautberg's key support in keeping the project alive.
Our enemy Tom Brinkman has always opposed the streetcars. He even supported both ballot initiatives that would have stopped the streetcar dead in its tracks. This is in line with Brinkman's history as a stadium tax opponent, COAST founder, and record as a State Representative of opposing all tax increases.
We must be successful in completing the original $200 million streetcar plan. Not only that, but as the visionaries we are we have also proposed a big tax increase to build multiple streetcar lines throughout the city. We are getting streetcars, whether conservatives like Tom Brinkman like it or not. We can thank Peter Stautberg for his assistance in making it happen. Stautberg for State Rep!

The more I learn about this Stautberg guy, the more I like him.
When I say STREETCAR you say STAUTBERG
STOUTBERG - STEEETCAR
STOUTBERG - STREETCAR
Hipsters for Stautberg!
Real Republicans support streetcars.
When I'm not supporting Jean Schmidt or opposing John Kasich, I am dreaming of Peter Stautberg. I know everything there is to know about campaigns. Look at my record of success with Virg Lovitt, Tom Weidman, and my own campaign for Springdale City Council where I could have joined with my Daddy the Mayor to be the first Daddy-Daughter tax-hiking family in the Tri-State.
I will really be counting on Stautberg to help me pursuade Duke Energy to foot the bill for my streetcar. No one is better connected with Duke Energy than Peter Stautberg. He better come through for me, just like he did last year with getting that tax exemption for the convention center. That saved us a lot of money that we have been able to put towards the streetcar.
My favorite parties to go to after a long day of working hard for the Hamilton County Republican Party always were the fund-raisers for Streetcar supporters. They were always full of nice, smart, fun, well-dressed people who always appreciated my outfits and accessories. Best of all, there weren't any smelly, overweight, obnoxious, uncouth, inbred, ignorant West Siders at those. Well, besides John Eby, but he's pretty cool for a West Sider.
