Dear fellow tax hikers, this week has brought the wonderful news that we might be getting another two tax increases. This is in addition to the two excellent tax increases that we profiled last month.
First, another all-star task force has recommended that Hamilton County raise the property "fee" by $25-$86 for each parcel of land regardless of value.
The latest plan to save Hamilton County's 911 emergency communication system would cost every homeowner and business as much as $86 a year in new property fees.
As of our blog posting time, that is how the article reads. But because we are incredibly fair-minded tax-hiking bloggers, we will note that Auditor Dusty Rhodes states that the
Next, a petition drive has been started to raise Cincinnati's Property Tax by a full mill to jack up city park spending. Leading the charge is Mayor John Cranley, who has finally decided that we need a property tax increase after campaigning for mayor against one.
We are proud to be the first organization to endorse both of these money grabs. We stand behind them 100%, just like we strongly endorsed both of last month's tax increases. The government needs that money. You don't.

How can we afford our streetcar if we don't some way find an excuse to raise taxes?
This is great news! Four tax hikes in two months. Should I endorse them all at once or issue one at a time?
Will any of these tax hikes go to improve our trash-infested ghetto neighbor to the north?
Can these tax dollars be used to build a large wall to isolate the west side from the rest of humanity? Ugh!
With these tax hikes on the ballot, there are some great opportunities for the Republican Party. We will can support these tax hikes and then when our base stays home because they don't like the tax hikes, I will lose even more seats to my good friend Tim Burke.
I cannot wait to ride that trolley! My Audi 5000 could use a break.
Vote for me please for Colerain trustee so we can bring back summer camp!
Te overwhelming demand and popular support for these tax hikes is more proof that our party must embrace higher taxes, illegal immigration and abortion on demand if we ever want to win another national election.
When you come from the right family and the old man hands you a legislative seat as though it were a peerage in the House of Lords, and you only let the right people marry into yours, you find matters such as this to be entirely trivial. Just five more years until the next family member gets to rule the 29th realm, I mean district.
Win-win for us. We build public support for these taxes, get all the big businesses and non-profits to get behind it. Then we get the Republican Party to support it. This aggravates a lot of their most loyal voters, who then stay home, vote for Libertarians, or vote for our candidates because they see there rally isn't much difference. Either way, all the benefits accrue to me. I've yet to have an election cycle end holding fewer seats than I began with and I've yet to have an incumbent lose a seat at the ballot box since my "good friend" Alex became chair. I've also not had a single elected offical resign or lose a seat because of their personal behavior, unlike Alex. Alex Triantafilou is the best thi that had ever happened to us.
@MicahKamrass: "Great campaign kickoff for Citizens for Cincinnati Parks. Great speeches by @JohnCranley and other leaders. A game changer for our city."
I left the 28th District with my tail tucked between my legs because they wouldn't recognize the great service I would have provided for them. So I moved to the city where a far left Democrat like me can actually win.
Now that I've been here in Hyde Park a few months I don't have to hide my real tax hiking views. These are wonderful tax increases that we should all be proud to support. I know if my "Republican" friends Rick Bryan, Royal Doyle Webster, and Wheezer Reuszer lived in the city, they would have been at this tax rally with me.
Are tax hikes for the streetcar as popular in Hydr Park as I am in my own district? Hard to tell but I bet Micah doesn't dare hire that fucking Matheny bitch to manage any of those tax hike campaigns after she tried and failed to beat me twice in the same year.
