Judge Robert Winkler disappoints

Dear fellow tax hikers, today is Easter Sunday.  It is also Cesar Chavez's birthday.  We are spending Chavez's birthday doing the same thing we do every other day - complain. 

We are sickened that Judge Robert Winkler issued a permanent injunction against the Cincinnati Parking plan.  We have wholeheartedly endorsed this proposal because it will likely lead to tax increases after two years.  Winkler claims that state law gives voters the right to petition this plan.  We don't care what the law says, Winkler should have obeyed party bosses and lifted his injunction. 

We are sorely disappointed that Judge Winker put the law above the interests of some of his political benefactors.  The City of Cincinnati hired the Dinsmore law firm, which employs Alex Triantafilou and is run by the great George Vincent.  Vincent himself handled this case.  Winkler knew that his political superiors wanted him to rule for the city, yet he went against them anyways. 

This is no way for a Winkler to behave.  We condemn Judge Robert Winkler for having the integrity to rule in favor of Ohio law.  Citizens should not have the right to vote on their government.  We now call on everyone to stop this referendum campaign from reaching the ballot so the parking plan can proceed.

Winkler to rule on parking referendum

Dear fellow tax hikers, the fate of the public's right to vote on the Cincinnati Parking Plan rests in the hands of Judge Robert Winkler.  We strongly oppose your right to vote.  We call on Judge Winkler to join us in preventing citizens from voting on the next 50 years of Cincinnati parking.

We believe the ruling will go in our favor, not due to legal arguments but to political connections.  Follow the road map:

- Judge Robert Winkler is the brother-in-law of Tracy Winkler and brother of Judge Ralph Ted Winkler
- Alex Triantafilou is the Chairman of the Hamilton County Republican Party, giving him significant power over the political careers of other Republicans such as the Winklers
- The Winkler-Triantafilou connection is well-established
- Alex Triantafilou works for the Dinsmore and Shohl law firm, which is managed by our good friend George Vincent
- The City of Cincinnati has hired Dinsmore to represent them in this case, even though the City has their own legal department which is fully capable of handling such cases
- Dinsmore has sent three of their high-powered attorneys - including The George Vincent - to personally handle this case

If Judge Winkler knows what is good for him, he will make the right ruling.  Winkler can ignore the law, his job is to do what is right for the Triantafilou-Vincent law firm.  If Winkler dares go against Dinsmore, Triantafilou, and Vincent, there will be severe repercussions. 

We call on Judge Robert Winkler to do the right thing - not the right legal decision, not the right decision for the voters of Cincinnati, but the right thing for Alex Triantafilou and George Vincent. We want Judge Winkler to take away your right to vote.

Judge Winkler retaliates against critics

Dear fellow tax hikers, it seems that the Friends of Alex and Tracy (FAT) nepotism movement is growing by leaps and bounds!  Last week we reported on the last two Winkler nepotism hires, in which Tracy Winkler and His Honor Ralph "Ted" Winkler hired Vince and Deb Wallace to two taxpayer-funded positions after returning from vacation with them.  Obviously, the couple they last vacationed with just happened to be the two most qualified people on the planet for those jobs.  

Two Court Reporters commented on His Honor's use of taxpayer funds to reward his vacation pal.  And promptly, His Honor's brother Judge Robert Winkler promptly banned them from his Court Room!  Once again, the Winkler family is boldly demonstrating that they are proud to use taxpayer funds as a vehicle to reward friends and family rather than use them to serve taxpayers. 

For the Winkler family, it's not about public service, it's about self-service.  And that is why we love them so much.  Taxpayers are there to serve the privileged class and it's about time more people realize this. 

Judge Robert Winkler is highly qualified to be on the bench.  He possesses the following qualifications:

1) He's the son of Mama Cheryl Winkler
2) His Honor Ralph "Ted" Winkler is his brother
3) Tracy Winkler is his sister-in-law
4) He's a Friend of Alex Triantafilou (FAT)

Anyone with those qualifications is automatically qualified to be a Judge in Hamilton County.  We encourage the Winklers and Triantafilous to continue their putting their own families ahead of yours - especially when it involves taxpayer money.
