Northwest Schools levy

Dear fellow tax hikers, endorsement season for the all-important May 2015 primaries begins now.  First up is the Northwest School District levy.  We are urging a NO vote on this issue.

This combined operating and bond issue will actually REDUCE the tax millage that you pay, and that is completely unacceptable to us.  Northwest residents are currently lucky enough to pay for a 4.52 mill levy that will expire later this year.  The issue on the ballot proposes that these same residents will only have to pay 4.33 mills going forward.  That is a reduction and we are not ok with that. 

We warned you about the bad things that could happen if people like Dan Unger, Chris Heather, and Michael Harlow were elected to the school board.  It hasn't taken long for them to prove us right.

This proposal replaces several aging (aged) elementary schools with new ones, and will make all the elementary schools K-5 instead of K-whatever.  All other schools will be renovated.  Some money will also go to technology improvements.

And all of this is being done with a lower millage than before!  By voting for this levy, you are consenting to a lower tax rate.  Please do not give the politicians permission to lower your taxes.  If it can happen here, who knows where it can happen next.  Vote against this levy and demand that your Northwest School Board give you the higher taxes that you deserve.

I share your sediment. The school's need more money. But I still have to vote for this flawed levy because we need the money. I wish we were increasing tax's instead of decreasing them. The our student's deserve it.

Those mean and vindictive township trustees moved the rock I had dedicated to my dead friend who told me to live my dreams and inspired my 2000 mile walk to nowhere. That means I must run again for trustee even though I hate politics. Those evil trustees moved that rock in 2012 in retaliation for my run against them in 2013. Only the cult-like followers of a failed reality TV wannabe and Zumba instructor could ever believe that.

I am really torn because this levy should be a whole lot bigger but with those evil conservatives who hate kids on the board, this is probably the best we can hope for.

Greg Insco is going to win his trustee race.

If I were still on the board and hadn't been the victim of a smear campaign and other skulduggery, we would have a much bigger levy on the ballot. I hope one of those evil
Conservatives resigns before they destroy the very concept of public education in our community and then I will be rightfully restored by Probate Judge Winkler to the place where I belong: over all of you peasants.

If this blog hates the schools they must love the township overspending for police when the Hamilton County Sheriff can patrol for so much less.

Remember when I said I was going to destroy Michael Harlow's political career? That's worked about as well as all my political efforts.

State representative Jonathan Dever said...

Are fiscally conservative school board members as popular in Colerain Township as I am in my own district?

Fuck you, Rick Bryan and that little twerp you convinced to write a letter to the editor demanding I do something... that I had done a week before,

These board members are nuts for building new buildings near the landfill. Why aren't they building in prisitine Green Township?

County Commissioner Sean Patrick Feeney said...

Greg Insco is a shoe-in to win his race. Along with me he represents the future of the Hamilton County Democratic Party and it's viable, young, electable stable of candidates.
