COAST applauds the actions of
Hamilton County Commissioners Greg Hartmann and Chris Monzel for holding the
line on higher taxes and voting to place the Mental Health and Senior Services
Levy on the November 2012 ballots without an increase.
Both Hartmann and Monzel know that
county taxpayers are suffering through a terrible economy and reductions in
their home values. The last thing taxpayers need is to pay additional
taxes.
COAST Chairman Tom Brinkman Jr.
stated, "Both of these men are true friends of the taxpayers and showed
the voters that they understand just what we are going through in this tough
economy."
We note that Todd Portune also
voted in favor of taxpayers.
COAST Chairman Tom Brinkman Jr.
stated, "Portune had hard time shedding his 'taxes go up no matter what'
mindset, but eventually even he succumbed to reality and signed off on this
very balanced plan."
COAST is the Coalition Opposed to
Additional Spending and Taxes and has been the voice of reason in Hamilton
county since 1998. COAST is non-partisan and never forgets those
Republicans and Democrats that have sold the taxpayers short.
