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.

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.
