Dear fellow tax hikers, know that we are continuing to work hard in our efforts to advance Tracy Winkler's political career. Nobody has worked harder than us to install her as our Clerk of Courts and we will continue to track her every move.
We report to you that we have received new information about Tracy Winkler's activities. Apparently Tracy is running the Clerk of Courts office in the same manner she ran Green Township, and we think that's fantastic! In the coming weeks we will finish our investigation of this information and report our findings to you. We know this information will interest every one of you.

Elected Official taking two taxpayer-funded health plans
Dear fellow tax hikers, candidate for Green Township Trustee Jeffry Smith has done it again! This insolent citizen activist has discovered more information about another Green Township practice that is sure to upset this region's obnoxious fiscal conservatives.
Mr. Smith is reporting on his latest blog entry that Green Township Fiscal Officer Tom Straus is on two taxpayer-funded health plans at the same time! We encourage everyone to click on that link and read the full story there. The documents can be found at his website.
By day, Mr. Straus works for the Ohio Attorney General's office. There, he is on the State's health insurance plan. Straus is also the Fiscal Officer for Green Township. He is on their health insurance plan too! One worker, two taxpayer-funded health plans.
We at Republicans for Higher Taxes are always on the lookout for new and inventive ways to spend taxpayer money. This one is a winner. We applaud Tom Straus for showing the ingenuity to take two taxpayer-funded health plans at the same time.
We once again condemn Jeffry Smith for his citizen activism, as we did in September. We do not like it when taxpayers ask questions about their government. We especially despise it when they discover nepotism, mismanagement, and elected officials who take two taxpayer-funded health plans at the same time. It is vitally important that Mr. Smith is defeated on Tuesday. Green Township cannot afford to have a Trustee looking out for their tax dollars.

Our new Clerk of Courts
Dear fellow tax hikers, today was a special day for us personally and for the movement that we lead. We were privileged to be in attendance as our Tracy Winkler was officially sworn in as the new Hamilton County Clerk of Courts! Then at the reception afterwards we enjoyed an appetizer with Tracy, followed by a bucket of wings, and some chips and dip, and an assorted variety of candies, and finally a sampling of wonderful desserts.
Tracy wasted no time getting busy at her new job. By the end of the week we anticipate she will actually know what the Clerk of Courts does. With hundreds of patronage jobs at her disposal, Tracy will have many hiring decisions to make. She will soon make key decisions about her administrative staff, perhaps replacing workers like Mike Robison with some of her unemployed relatives with minimal education.
And naturally, Jennifer Triantafilou is being strongly considered for a high-ranking job. Because of her qualifications, of course.
Team Tax Hikers, all of you deserve credit for the great jobs you have done! This couldn't have happened without you. We did our job convincing the party that Tracy Winkler was entitled to this position. Between her last name and her decision to hire Jennifer Triantafilou for a job she was completely unqualified for, Tracy earned this appointment. Tracy is very appreciative of everything we have done. Now we will get our reward as she serves Hamilton County as well as she's served Green Township.

Winkler's final hurdle
Dear fellow tax hikers, we are so close to making Tracy Winkler our next Hamilton County Clerk of Courts that we can already taste the victory. Just one more hurdle remains. On Tuesday the Hamilton County Republican Party Executive Committee meets to make the final decision for the Clerk of Courts. We can tell you now what will happen.
We are proud to report the exclusive news that Tracy Winkler has already been selected by the Executive Committee in advance of tomorrow's meeting! The decision has been made that Winkler will win in an overwhelming vote. We are working to make it unanimous.
This is a fantastic victory for our tax hiking team. We recognized our star on the rise, Tracy Winkler, and put everything else aside to focus on getting her this position. We have even postponed naming our 2011 Tax Hiker of the Year to focus all our attention on Winkler.
Tracy is entitled to this appointment! She is a Winkler. She hired Alex Triantafilou's wife for a position that she was otherwise unqualified to fill. She shut down public comments at the Green Township Trustee meetings. Tracy is owed a favor by the Party Chairman, and tomorrow Tracy officially collects. Our tax dollars at work!

Tracy Winkler selected Clerk of Courts
Dear fellow tax hikers, on Wednesday the Hamilton County Republican Party's hand-picked Special Screening Committee will be meeting for their fair, open, and honest interview process to select our next Clerk of Courts. We are delighted to be the first to report that they have already selected Green Township Trustee Tracy Winkler for this important vacancy! On orders from above, Winkler has won the appointment in a lopsided vote. They will meet tomorrow to make it official.
We are proud to be the first Republican organization to endorse Winkler. We have previously listed her many qualifications for higher office. This leads us to correct one small mistake in yesterday's blog entry, where we stated that Winkler wasn't qualified for this job. It is true that Winkler has absolutely zero professional qualifications to be Clerk of Courts. However she has the qualifications that matter - her last name is Winkler, AND she spends our taxpayer money to hire friends and relatives for township jobs that they are incapable of performing.
Tracy is being rewarded for hiring Party Chairman Alex Triantafilou's wife for a Green Township government job that she was completely unqualified to hold, bypassing many qualified candidates in the process. We covered this issue extensively in our last entry. It has also been covered even more extensively by that awful Green Township watchdog Jeffry Smith, who has the complete set of documents at his blog entry. We encourage all of you to click the link to his site and read them.
As Clerk of Courts, Winkler will have hundreds of patronage jobs to dole out. The unemployment rate for the Friends and Family of Tracy will be 0% once she gets rid of those stupid qualified professionals currently working there and replaces them with her gang.
This is how Hamilton County GOP politics works. Quid pro quo. Tracy Winkler sacrificed her integrity to do a favor for the party boss. Tomorrow Alex Triantafilou returns the favor. Your tax dollars are funding all of this. We ask everyone to join us in congratulating Tracy Winkler for her selection as Hamilton County's newest Clerk of Courts.

Tracy Winkler - The Jennifer Triantafilou Factor
Dear fellow tax hikers, we proudly endorse Green Township Trustee Tracy Winkler for Hamilton County Clerk of Courts. We have previously endorsed Winkler for higher office and we stand behind her 100% as she applies to be selected by our Hamilton County Republican Party for this vacancy. She is going to get this appointment. One key reason is because of Winkler's key role in hiring Jennifer Triantafilou, who was the wife of GOP Chairman Alex Triantafilou, for a Green Township government position she was completely unqualified to hold.
Citizen watchdog and candidate for Green Township Trustee Jeffry Smith has compiled extensive documents about this controversial hire at his website. His website contains an excellent, thorough accounting of this process and we encourage all you tax hikers to read through it. Among the findings:
- This position required a Bachelor's degree. Jennifer Triantafilou's highest level of education was completing an Electrocardiography Certificate at Cincinnati State.
- The application deadline was November 9, 2009. Triantafilou applied on November 20th at the earliest.
- Triantafilou was not selected by the Township Administrator as one of the final four candidates, all of whom were actually qualified for the position. Yet, Winkler jumped into the process to insist that the unqualified, unrecommended Triantafilou get hired in spite of the presence of the highly qualified applicants.
Tracy Winkler sold her integrity to get a favor from Alex Triantafilou. Now it's payback time.
Tracy herself lacks the education, experience, and intelligence to be a solid Clerk of Courts. But none of that matters. Winkler hired Triantafilou's wife for a position she was not qualified to hold, and now Alex is going to select Tracy for a job she is unqualified to hold. This is how it works and we think it's great. And just think - your tax dollars are paying for all of this.
Tracy Winkler for Clerk of Courts - because qualifications just don't matter.

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.

Tracy Winkler nixes State Rep race
Dear fellow tax hikers, for most people today was the deadline to apply for the vacant State Representative position in Ohio's 30th District. However if Green Township rules are utilized, Jennifer Triantafilou will have 11 more days to send in her application. The list of current applicants was released earlier today, and sadly our endorsed candidate Tracy Winkler was not among them.
We tax hikers are having terrible luck with our top candidates. Our first endorsed candidate Stadium David Linnenberg turned down the race the day after we endorsed him. And now Tracy Winkler refused to step up to the plate (for once). We were counting on sending top-notch tax hiker to infiltrate the Republican Caucus so we can undermine the Kasich agenda, but we are afraid that we have failed in that important task.
We ask all you tax hikers, do you see a good candidate in this group? If so send us the information so we can all stand together and select the best tax-and-spend Republican for this vacancy. This can be the start of our effort to take down John Kasich and all his evil, pro-taxpayer policies!

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!
