Streetcar Supporter Sean Donovan, Part 1

Dear fellow tax hikers, look what we found!  Please read the following editorial from our old friend Sean Donovan, a proud streetcar supporter and candidate for Hamilton County Sheriff.  This is the kind of guy we want watching our tax dollars.


STREETCAR LOOP ESSENTIAL FOR CITY'S FUTURE

We are facing a critical point in future development of this city. Our choice is to continue to lose population, erode our tax base and watch our inner city decay or we can decide to move forward.

The initial loop of the downtown streetcar will create immediate residential and retail development in the core of the city. Both young professionals and empty-nesters enjoy living in the core area of major cities like Boston, Portland, Washington for example. Young people seeking a career will choose a vibrant socially active and safe city to live and work.We must have the foresight to embrace the future. We must not be sidetracked by those who are not interested in longterm successful economic development of the area.

I live and work Downtown by choice. I remember when it was a vibrant thriving center for commerce and entertainment. I know we can again be a safe and attractive place to live,work and play. It will take leadership from business and elected officials. We are close, let's not watch another opportunity pass us by. Get on board the Cincinnati streetcar.

Anonymous tax hiker, that was a fantastic observation! We have updated our blog entry to address your point.

Does anyone really think a double-dipping Si Leis crony is really capable of being an effective steward of taxpayers dollars? I know absolutely nothing about the other guy, but I plan on voting for him. Thanks for not giving me a choice once again Hamilton County GOP.

How dare you report this! Just because it's true that Sean Donovan supports the streetcar doesn't mean you have to tell people. This is interfering with my efforts to sell Donovan to those damn conservatives. If I find out who leaked this I will make them pay!

Just because it runs past my wine store doesn't mean it will benefit me. I mean MY Wife's wine store, since it is against the sheriff's handbook for me to own a wine store.

I'll drink to that.

I'm pissed off that those Blue Chip Young Republicans are hosting that evil MAN Brad Wenstrup at their meeting Thursday night. Wenstrup had no right to run for office against our Jean Schmidt! If I show up, it's to protest and I'll bring my friends Virgil Lovitt and Ms. Vicky Zwissler!

If Campaign Expert Matheny thinks Vicky Zwissler will go along with her to protest this meeting, then she must be under the influence of something. We know what a backstabbing gossip Julie Webster was (and still is) and even Vicky has figured that out by now. As for Virg, he like to pretend to be a team player too much to protest his new Congressman.

Though considering how poorly Wenstrup's campaign is being run, it looks like Campaign Expert Matheny might have switched sides.

Tax hikers, please be careful about specific personal allegations made against individuals. At some point they can cross a line that gets either you or our blog in trouble.

Since blogger doesn't give us the ability to edit remarks, we usually have to delete the whole comment if there's something inappropriate. This time we were nice tax hikers and reposted most of the comment, except we edited it to alter the questionable statement.

Mrs. Expert Matheny's big protest against Brad Wenstrup and the Blue Chip Young Republicans was just like all of her campaigns - over before it started.

Sean Donovan loves higher taxes and he loves the streetcar. He would be a perfect client of Dr. Matheny's Expert Political Campaign Consultin Service but Sean actually wants to win so he has looked elsewhere.

Hamilton County GOP said...

We're so proud of our local slate of GOP candidates. Firm in ambiguity, flimsy in conviction, and driven by pure ego.

Sean Donovan is a great man and I am happy to attend as many cocktail parties and buy as many dresses as I need in hope that he wins in November.
