Tracy Winkler's Unqualified HR Hire

Dear fellow tax hikers, we are proud to exclusively report the latest news on Tracy Winkler's reign with the Hamilton County Clerk of Courts.  We can confirm that our dear Tracy is continuing her policy of hiring friends and family for government jobs instead of qualified professionals. 

Tracy Winkler's latest Jennifer Triantafilou-style hiring is the new Chief Human Resources Officer Tony Rosiello.  Does Rosiello have any prior experience running a human resources office?  No!  Does Rosiello have any experience working in Human Resources?  No!  Is Rosiello qualified in any way to be a human resources chief for a large county department?  No! 

Tony Rosiello quite clearly lacks the professional qualifications for this position.  But he has the one qualification that matters - he's a good friend of Tracy Winkler.  And sure enough, Rosiello happens to be the point of contact for two Tracy Winkler fundraising events taking place next month.  Tracy has never been shy about using your tax dollars to take care of friends and family.

It goes even deeper than that.  Tony Rosiello is the newest Green Township Trustee.  He and his colleagues have the authority to fire Green Township employee Allison Detzel, who happens to be Tracy Winkler's daughter.  Rosiello and his colleagues also have the ability to fire Jennifer Triantafilou, who Tracy hired in exchange for her appointment to be the Clerk of Courts.

By having Rosiello working for her in a full-time, well-paying, administrative position, Winkler can use her status as his employer to continue controlling Green Township through Tony.  Winkler can assure the continued employment of her daughter Allison Detzel and Alex T's ex-wife Jennifer Triantafilou no matter how poorly they do their jobs. 

Tracy Winkler will never apologize for using your tax dollars to take care of friends and family.  That's how it should be.  It's more important to ensure the Winkler and Triantafilou families are taken care than to worry about government being well-run.  This will definitely result in more incidents like the one we just saw when Tracy Winkler's Clerk of Courts office accidently released sealed files regarding two accused rapes.  That is the price we must pay for putting the welfare of the Triantafilous and Winklers ahead of the interests of every other family in Hamilton County.

We welcome Tony Rosiello aboard as the new Human Resources Chief, even though he has no idea what's he doing.

Oppose Jeffry Smith for Green Township Trustee

Dear fellow tax hikers, it is a matter of extreme importance that we stop citizen activist Jeffry Smith from getting elected Green Township Trustee.  Mr. Smith's advocacy for good government and against nepotism is unacceptable and has caused much discomfort for the elite ruling class of this fine township.  Mr. Smith's crimes against our allies in the tax-and-spend movement are severe and disqualify him from serving the public.

1)  Jeffry Smith is the peasant who uncovered the truth behind the hiring of Jennifer Triantafilou for a job she's completely unqualified to hold, and in fact did not apply for until nearly 2 weeks after the application deadline.  Mr. Smith compiled the public documents and posted them on his site to show her lack of qualifications and the political reasons behind the hire.  The Green Township Trustees bypassed many qualified candidates to hire the wife of Hamilton County Republican Party Chairman Alex Triantafilou in order to gain political favor down the road.  We at Republicans for Higher Taxes think there is nothing wrong with hiring well-connected political wives for jobs they aren't capable of performing.

2)  Smith discovered that the Nathanael Greene Lodge has been losing an average of $200,000 per year.  This lodge is co-run by Allison Detzel, who happens to be the daughter of Trustee Tracy Winkler.  Smith thinks something is wrong with this.  We don't have any problem with hiring an elected official's daughter to lose a ton of money for the Township.

3)  We are especially disappointed that Smith has criticized the Trustees for shutting down public comments at their Township meetings.  Why would any elected official care what regular citizens have to say about their government?  The Green Township Trustees sure don't care.  Smith should apologize for insisting that he and his fellow citizens have a right to be heard at their local government meetings.

Do you want a representative who lets you speak at government meetings?  Then don't vote for Smith.  Do you have a problem with Trustees hiring their children to lose taxpayer money?  Then don't vote for Smith, he'll hire someone who can do the job.  Do you support hiring the Party Chairman's wife for a job she's incapable of performing?  Then don't vote for Smith, he'll hire qualified personnel instead.  

Whatever you do, don't vote for Jeffry Smith.  There are too many relatives of political officials whose patronage jobs depend on it.

We Endorse Tracy Winkler

Dear fellow tax hikers, we are beaming with pride to announce our endorsement of Green Township Trustee Tracy Winkler to move up in the political world.  Tracy is currently considering whether she would like to be the next 30th District State Representative or become Hamilton County's next Clerk of Courts.  We have detailed Tracy's extensive qualifications for higher office and have proven that she would be a phenomenal choice for either position.

Therefore, we proudly endorse.......Tracy Winkler for Something.  Consider the fine Tracy Winkler record:

1.  Tracy proudly hired Chairman Alex Triantafilou's ex-wife Jennifer Triantafilou for a position she is completely unqualified to hold and did not even apply for until 11 days after the application deadline.  Tracy has no problems selling out her integrity to obey orders from her superiors.  That's exactly the kind of public servant we value here at Republicans for Higher Taxes.

2.  Supported a 1.9 mill property tax increase for Green Township property owners.

3.  With Tracy's blessing, the Nathaniel Greene Lodge loses $200,000 per year for the Township.  One of the co-managers of this money-losing operation is Tracy's daughter, Allison Detzel.  We have no problem with nepotism, as long as it's kept in the family.

4.  Permitted her Township Administrator to campaign in favor of keeping the Estate Tax.  Nobody should be allowed to die in the State of Ohio without paying one last tax to the government.

5.  An opponent of the 1st Amendment, Tracy shut down public comments at Green Township meetings.  According to the Township's 2/14/11 Minutes, "Chairman Winkler stated that residents do not have the right to speak at Trustees Meetings."  We fully concur, unless they are there to advocate higher taxes.

6.  Finally, we cannot forget Tracy's #1 qualification - she married into the Winkler family.  That alone makes her highly qualified to serve as Hamilton County's Clerk of Courts or as an Ohio State Representative.

When Tracy Winkler's handlers choose which office she wants to hold, we will support the decision 100% and work overtime to make sure the voters know her fine record.  Soon enough she will be serving the under-taxed citizens in a larger capacity.  Tracy Winkler for something!
