Princeton's unsafe schools

Dear fellow tax hikers, we report that several schools in the mega-spending Princeton School District are in violation of Ohio's safety laws.  Ohio requires each school to file their safety plans and floor plans so that emergency personnel can more quickly respond in the event of a school shooting or other disaster.  There are 15 schools in SW Ohio that have refused to obey this law, with a whopping 6 of them in Princeton. 

Your child is in an elevated state of danger if he or she attends Princeton High School, Princeton Virtual Academy High School, Princeton Middle School, Glendale Elementary, Lincoln Heights Elementary, or Woodlawn Elementary.  We don't understand why Princeton Virtual Academy is on this list - shouldn't they be able to virtually submit these plans?

As our good friend Mrs. Hillary Rodham Clinton says, "never waste a good crisis".  This is part of the Princeton School Board's plan to start pitching the next tax increase.

Even though the School District already spends more money per student than 98% of school districts in Ohio AND just passed another tax increase, they are not able to fulfill these safety requirements because they don't have enough money!  They need more.  If you oppose the next Princeton property tax increase, it's because you are against student safety. 

We encourage our tax-hiking friends Virgil Lovitt, Royal Doyle Webster, and many more to not waste this good crisis.  Student safety isn't important.  What's important is exploiting the lack of student safety to pass another big property tax increase.  Let's do this!  Tax us more.

More Springdale businesses close

Julie Matheny, as close as she'll ever get to a seat on City Council

Dear fellow tax hikers, we sadly report that two more businesses in Springdale have closed.  Lucy's and George's Pancake House and Family Dining, and I Buffet, are the latest to bail out of Springdale.  Some would say, who can blame them?

We happen to like Springdale.  We believe their plethora of strip malls and low-dollar housing make this fine city one of Hamilton County's gems. 

We do not believe that the high-tax polices of Springdale Mayor Doyle Webster and his daughter, Springdale Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Julie Matheny, are to blame for these business closings.  Just because higher taxes increase their operating costs doesn't mean they are more likely to go out of business.  Who ever heard of higher costs being detrimental to businesses?  Our Messiah Barack Obama doesn't believe this and neither does the Royal First Family of Springdale. 

Royal Doyle Webster and Legendary Campaign Expert Matheny have indeed been supporters of higher taxes.  For example, both strongly supported this year's big Princeton School District Property Tax Increase.  The Princeton School District was already spending more money per student than 98% of school districts in Ohio, but that wasn't enough!  Our father-daughter tax hiking team knew that a 6.5 mill tax increase was needed so Princeton can spend even more. 

This Royal Doyle/Campaign Expert Matheny tax hike added $197.63 in higher property taxes per $100,000 home value, meaning that the average Springdale homeowner's property tax bill will increase another $95.  Companies have to pay this tax too.  Well, at least the ones who haven't gone out of business.

Post-election wrapup

Dear fellow tax hikers, in the past few days we have mourned the loss of our good friend Jean Schmidt to the evil conservative military veteran Brad Wenstrup.  However, there were other items on Election Day and we must review those too.

First, we would like to congratulate Lonnie Bowling for a solid first-time run for State Representative.  Lonnie received an impressive 11% of the vote in a 2-way race, holding Mike Wilson's margin of victory to under 80 points.  To our knowledge, we were Lonnie's only endorsement.  We are pleased that our endorsement may have pushed him into the double digits. 

On the positive side, there were several tax increases that passed, including all 3 that we endorsed!  The citizens of the Princeton School District, Wyoming School District, and Forest Hills School District will all enjoy the benefits of higher taxation.  We were especially pleased with the passage of the Princeton levy.  Princeton Schools already spend more money than 98% of school districts in Ohio.  Now they will spend even more!  They have a real chance at becoming the absolute biggest #1 spenders in Ohio. 

We were very pleased to see Mike Brown's own bought-and-paid-for State Representative Peter Stautberg defeat our enemy Tom Brinkman.  Brinkman is an anti-tax conservative who opposed the Stadium Sales Tax hike and all of Bob Taft's tax increases.  Stautberg benefited from 6-figures worth of tv ads that were highly misleading, but that's fine with us.  We at Republicans for Higher Taxes never let ethics get in the way of our big government agenda - after all, we endorsed Jean Schmidt. 

Finally, we condemn a prominent Armenian newspaper for their mean comments about Jean Schmidt.  It disgusts us that the Armenian paper Asbarez referred to our Jeannie as the "biggest Turkish whore in the U.S. House of Representatives."  Jean Schmidt is not a Turkish whore.  Schmidt might be a Wall Street whore, or one of Bob Taft's whores, or a Stan Chesley whore, but she is not a Turkish whore.  Jean's loss was a travesty and one we will not forget.

Virgil Lovitt and Connie Pillich endorse higher taxes

Dear fellow tax hikers, our good friends Connie Pillich and Virgil Lovitt are joining together to bring higher property taxes to our area.  Both Pillich and Lovitt proudly endorsed the big Princeton Schools Property Tax Hike on next week's ballot.  We endorsed this tax increase in January because we, like Lovitt and Pillich, believe in raising taxes as high as possible.  Even though the Princeton School District already spends more money per student than 98% of school districts in Ohio, this tax increase is vitally important so that maybe someday they can be the #1 spenders in the state. 

"Please join me – and so many others such as every Princeton community mayor, former State Sen. Dick Finan and State Rep. Connie Pillich, in supporting this levy March 6."

For the great State Representative Connie Pillich, endorsing higher taxes is a routine endeavor.  We endorsed her in 2010 against the evil Mike Wilson because she quickly grew into one of this region's finest tax increasers.  Pillich wasted no time voting for former Governor Ted Strickland's big $900 million Income Tax hike and voted for $1.5 billion in fee increases after Strickland admitted fee increases are tax increases.  Pillich is so dedicated to higher taxes that she has to export them to other communities.  Pillich neither lives nor works in the Princeton School District, but is proud to impose higher property taxes on their undertaxed residents.

Our 2008 Tax Hiker of the Year Virgil Lovitt knows no borders when it comes to higher taxes.  This endorsement is only the latest in an astonishing list of tax increases that Virg has supported.  Income Tax increases, Sales Tax increases, numerous Property Tax increases, Hotel/Motel Tax increases - Virg has endorsed them all.  He is possibly the greatest tax hiker we have ever covered, and it's a travesty that he is stuck being Sharonville's Mayor instead of raising taxes at a higher level.  

Virgil Lovitt isn't just a tax hiker, he's a tax machine.  We greatly appreciate all the work he has done to bring higher taxes to his community.  We also thank Connie Pillich for working hard to raise taxes in other people's communities, since raising taxes in her own backyard apparently isn't fulfilling enough.  Please remember to vote Yes on the Princeton Property Tax increase.  Even though they already outspend most Ohio districts, they can't spend more if you aren't taxed more.

Springdale Council endorses higher property taxes

Dear fellow tax hikers, we proudly report that Springdale City Council and Mayor Doyle Webster have unanimously endorsed the big Princeton Property Tax on the March ballot.  We applaud each of these fine tax hikers for the excellent big government leadership they have shown.

We previously endorsed this tax increase because we share their desire for the biggest government possible.  The Princeton Schools currently spend $15,922 per student per year.  This makes them the 10th biggest spending public school district in Ohio out of about 613 school districts, which means Princeton already outspends over 98% of Ohio school districts.  How can they be #1 if they don't raise taxes?

As the numbers prove, this tax increase is extremely necessary.  If this property tax hike doesn't pass, the Princeton Schools will only be able to outspend 98% of other school districts.  That's not good enough.  This levy must pass so Princeton somebody can be the absolute biggest spenders in Ohio.

Our good friend Mayor "Royal" Doyle Webster observed,

"But if we don't pass it, it will impact property values."

Absolutely.  Property values will fall through the toilet if Princeton only gets to outspend 98% of other school districts instead of 100%. 

If you disagree, it's because you hate children.  Only a child-hater would oppose such an important tax hike.  Because we love children, we love higher taxes.  It is only through higher taxes that Princeton can fix its underspending problem.  We applaud tax hiker Royal Doyle Webster and the Springdale City Council for their unwavering dedication to higher taxes and big spending.

The Virgil Lovitt Tax Hiking Contest

Dear fellow tax hikers, we ask for your participation.  We are having a contest to guess the date that Virgil Lovitt will endorse his next tax increase.

Last week we reported that the Princeton School District is seeking a big property tax hike on this March's ballot.  This happens to be the school district that our 2008 Tax Hiker of the Year Virgil Lovitt calls home.  Our man Virg has been a strong supporter of higher taxes, both in this school district and everywhere else.  While he has not yet endorsed this important tax hike, everyone knows he soon will.

With eager anticipation of this endorsement, we are now hosting a contest for our loyal readers.  We want all you tax hikers to pick the date that Virgil Lovitt will endorse the Princeton School District's Property Tax increase.  Enter your selection in the comments section.  The winner is the one who picks the closest date.  Good luck to everyone!

Princeton Schools seek huge tax hike

Dear fellow tax hikers, we proudly endorse the Princeton School District's 6.5 mill property tax hike on the ballot this March.  This excellent tax increase will cost homeowners $197.63 per $100,000 valuation.  It was less than two years ago the Princeton Schools passed another property tax increase, which we also endorsed along with our 2008 Tax Hiker of the Year Virgil Lovitt.  But that was then, more money is needed now.

As of Fiscal Year 2010 the Princeton School District spends $15,922 per student per year.  This places them the 10th biggest spender in Ohio out of approximately 613 public school districts.  In other words, Princeton already spends more money than over 98% of Ohio's districts

That isn't enough!  They need more.  Princeton residents must pay higher taxes so that their loving School Board can spend all the money they need.  Property taxes must continue to rise until Princeton Schools spend more money than every single school district in Ohio.  Tax us more!

Virgil Lovitt for Sharonville Mayor

Dear fellow tax hikers, we strongly endorse 2008 Tax Hiker of the Year Virgil Lovitt for re-election as Sharonville's Mayor.  Virg has been a fantastic Mayor and is possibly the greatest active Hamilton County tax hiker we have.  There are too many examples of Virg's high-tax activism to list in one blog entry, but we'll make sure you get a chance to review his greatest hits.

As Mayor, Virgil supported a 50% increase in Sharonville's income tax.  In 2007 Virg endorsed a $777 million Sales tax increase for the undertaxed citizens of Hamilton County.  When Sharonville overpaid some of its employees by $500,000, Virg decided to be a gentleman and just let everyone keep the money.  A great Bob Taft Republican, Virg could not wait to endorse Taft's 3rd Frontier project which has worked to save Ohio's economy.  Virg endorsed and worked hard to more than double Hamilton County's lodging tax, legislation sponsored by tax hiker Jean Schmidt and signed into law by Taft - 3 legendary tax hikers working together to raise our taxes. 

There are so many more tax hikes and big government activity in Virg's record.  Virg endorsed a huge property tax increase for the Princeton Schools in 2007, which failed.  In 2010, with the Princeton Schools already spending more money per student than nearly every other school district in Ohio, Virg endorsed another huge property tax increase which fortunately passed.  Virg has been a strong supporter of proven tax hiker Jean Schmidt, opposed fiscal conservative Pat DeWine for Judge, and even endorsed and donated to Democrat Todd Portune.

We consider Virgil Lovitt to be the model public servant for our tax-and-spend movement.  Our only regret is that he is not serving us in a greater capacity.  If there was any justice in the world Virg would be a County Commissioner or State Representative while building up to a statewide run.  But Ohio's loss is Sharonville's gain.  We proudly give our strongest possible endorsement to Virgil Lovitt for Sharonville Mayor so that he can spend four more years endorsing every tax increase in the region.
