Streetcar needs another $17 million

Dear fellow tax hikers, our beloved Cincinnati Streetcar needs mo' money!  City Manager Milton Dohoney says the streetcar needs another $17.4 million

We endorse this request and call on Cincinnati City Council to implement a new Streetcar Tax to raise the necessary funds.  We are one with Mayor Mallory - this streetcar is going to happen.  We don't care how much it costs, this streetcar must be built. 

We condemn John Cranley, Christopher Smitherman, and Amy Murray for their opposition to this important project.  There is no better way to spend $125 million (before interest on the $64 million in bonds) than to build a 3.6 mile streetcar loop.  Tax us more!

Man those Cincinnati people are making me look bad! When I voted to have Blue Ash taxpayers donate to the streetcar I thought that city had their ship together. I hope people forget my support for the Cincinnati streetcar when I run for higher office.

Lee, it would be an honor and pleasure to run your campaign with my expert campaign consultin' service. We need to avenge Jean Schmidt's loss and put those KOAST Krazies in their place!

Mayor Mallory said...

I would mortgage the city's future for this streetcar. In fact, I would have if not for those damn COASTies, minorities, and numerous other voters who stopped my parking plan. What do I care about the city's future, I'm gone in a few months anyways.

Cincinnati should implement a food tax for the streetcar. Let Tabitha and Craig Hochscheid pay for this streetcar that they love so much.

OMG!!! I love the idea of Lee running for higher office!!!! Those Blue Ash people are so kewl! I wish the streetcar route would go out to Blue Ash so I could shop at Kenwood Mall, Kenwood Towne Centre and all the other gr8 places in Blue Ash! None of those fat, smelly, disgusting, inbred west siders out here!

If the streetcar went up Colerain Avenue, our neighbors to the north might be able to send its criminal residents back where they belong

I feel so bad for Cincinnati and its streetcar supporters!!! Is there anything more we on Blue Ash Council can do to help the streetcar?

Hey is there any way for my totally non-political self to get a political campaign going to keep the streetcar away from Madeira? My totally non-political self needs to find a way to stay involved in politics after my three failed attempts to win political office plus the total crash-and-burn of that ballot issue political campaign that my totally non-political self got shellacked.
