Dear fellow tax hikers, we close our primary coverage with a tribute to our Beloved Bengals Owner Mike Brown. Mike Brown donated $1,000 to Peter Stautberg because Stautberg will carry out the Brown family agenda much better than Tom Brinkman ever will.
Tom Brinkman opposed the Stadium Sales Tax in 1996. Brinkman opposed the Bedinghaus lease deal that has made the Brown family wealthy beyond their wildest dreams. After that, he co-founded that terrible anti-tax organization known as COAST. Brinkman has been nothing but a thorn in Brown's side.
Brown knows he will get his money's worth out of Stautberg. Bengals attorney Stuart Dornette also knows this, which is why he donated $500 to Stautberg. Stautberg is the best State Rep that money can buy.
When you go to the polls today, please remember to vote Peter Stautberg for State Representative. That's what Mike Brown would want you to do.

Columbus insider to rescue Stautberg campaign
(Shawn Kasych at closing time)
Shawn Kasych - no relation to Governor John Kasich - is Policy Advisor for the Ohio House of Representatives. As such, he has a vested interest in ordering voters across Ohio to send good, moderate, establishment Republicans to Columbus to make life easy on insiders like himself. He could not have found a better candidate than Stautberg.
His opponent, COAST founder Tom Brinkman, has fought tax increases his entire life. While serving as State Representative, Brinkman voted against all of Bob Taft's tax hikes. Even worse, he strongly opposed the Bob Bedinghaus stadium deal and campaigned against the $777 million Democratic Sales Tax increase in 2007. When Republicans raise taxes, Brinkman says no and that is completely unacceptable to us and other Republican insiders.
Mike Brown and the Columbus insiders are pulling out all the stops to defeat Brinkman. That's why they have dispatched Mr. Insider Kasych to Cincinnati. We want all you tax hikers to know we are working hand-in-hand with them. Together, we will stop Taxkiller Tom Brinkman and return establishment Republican Peter Stautberg to Columbus where he will continue to do as he's told.

The Stautberg Streetcar
Dear fellow tax hikers, we made one significant omission in our Peter Stautberg endorsement piece that ran yesterday. Stautberg endorsed a No vote on Cincinnati's 2009 Issue 9, a Charter Amendment which would have stopped the city's streetcar. We have editorialized in favor of the streetcar from the beginning and we very much appreciate Stautberg's key support in keeping the project alive.
Our enemy Tom Brinkman has always opposed the streetcars. He even supported both ballot initiatives that would have stopped the streetcar dead in its tracks. This is in line with Brinkman's history as a stadium tax opponent, COAST founder, and record as a State Representative of opposing all tax increases.
We must be successful in completing the original $200 million streetcar plan. Not only that, but as the visionaries we are we have also proposed a big tax increase to build multiple streetcar lines throughout the city. We are getting streetcars, whether conservatives like Tom Brinkman like it or not. We can thank Peter Stautberg for his assistance in making it happen. Stautberg for State Rep!

Peter Stautberg for State Representative
Dear fellow tax hikers, we proudly endorse Mike Brown's friend Peter Stautberg for State Representative. This is one of the most important races we'll face this year. It's vitally important that Stautberg, a friend of Bengals ownership and Columbus lobbyists, defeats the anti-tax conservative Tom Brinkman.
To highlight the importance of this race, Bengals Owner Mike Brown recently donated $1000 to Stautberg. Mike Brown needs an ally in Columbus. So do we. We both have found a great friend in Stautberg.
Peter Stautberg is perhaps the best representative that money can buy. The City of Cincinnati already knows this. After all, when they wanted to dodge state law and avoid paying taxes on their golf courses and convention center, they hired a lobbyist who got Stautberg to insert a provision in the state budget exempting the city from those taxes. As a result, the communities who were due to receive those tax dollars will simply have to go to the voters and pass a wonderful tax increase earlier than they expected!
Stautberg doesn't stop there. At a recent debate he criticized former State Representative Tom Brinkman for voting against HB 66 in 2005 when he was in the State House. HB 66 brought to our movement a large number of wonderful high-tax victories including:
1) Raised Ohio's Sales Taxes by 10%
2) Implemented a brand new Commercial Activities Tax (CAT), which is loathed by businesses with low profit margins
3) More than doubled the Cigarette Tax
4) Permanently extended the "temporary" Trust Tax
5) Eliminated the rollback of the Real Property Tax
6) Permitted counties (such as Hamilton) that already had a lodging tax to raise it another 3%
7) Raised 55 different fees
Mike Brown's friend Stautberg was right to criticize Brinkman for opposing these excellent tax and fee increases. We needed bigger government and this legislation delivered.
Tom Brinkman is by far the worst choice in this race. His history of anti-tax activism before joining the Legislature, and voting record of opposing all tax increases while in the Legislature, is completely unacceptable to our movement. Peter Stautberg is the best choice due to his support for higher taxes, close relationship with Columbus lobbyists, and most of all, the big support he has received from Bengals Owner Mike Brown. Stautberg for State Representative!

Mike Brown supports Peter Stautberg
Dear fellow tax hikers, we have uncovered some FANTASTIC news about superb State Representative Peter Stautberg.
Cincinnati Bengals Owner Mike Brown recently donated $1000 to the great Peter Stautberg!!!!!!!!
Mike Brown is one of Hamilton County's greatest leaders. He is a phenomenal owner who has done wonderful things for our beloved Bengals and our region. Mike Brown believes Stautberg is a great State Representative. If that's what Mike believes, that's what you should believe too.
Stautberg is running against our anti-tax enemy Tom Brinkman. Brinkman has long been a leader fighting for lower taxes and limited government. We oppose limited government, we want higher taxes and the biggest government we can get.
If you believe in Bengals Owner Mike Brown, then you must support Mike Brown's candidate Peter Stautberg. If you oppose Mike Brown and oppose higher taxes, then you'll probably support the fiscal conservative Tom Brinkman. We encourage all you tax hikers to honor Mike Brown by voting for Peter Stautberg.
