Dear fellow tax hikers, major news has rocked Ohio politics as the former CEO of red light camera company Redflex plead Guilty to
bribing elected officials in Columbus and Cincinnati. One known recipient of her bribes is Columbus City Council President Andrew Ginther, who
is was the frontrunner for Columbus Mayor. Redflex routed the money through Democratic lobbyist John Raphael, who donated the money to the Ohio Democratic Party, who then gave the money to Ginther.
Ohio Democratic Party Chairman David A. Pepper, who is the most ethical almost-Attorney General in our nation's history and is as pure as the winter snow, would never condone such behavior. To demonstrate his strong opposition to corruption, Pepper has issued the following statement:
Another known bribe recipient is a
Cincinnati elected official between 2005-2008, though the feds have not released the name. We ask our loyal readers, do you know who this person is?
This blog has always been a strong supporter of red light cameras. We don't care whether they improve public safety, we support these cameras because they are revenue machines and represent another method of extracting money from the commoners.
If we have to engage in bribery to get these cameras up, we are all for it. Like Chairman Pepper, we will not condemn Ginther and the unnamed Cincinnati official for taking bribes - the only thing they did wrong was getting caught.
