City OK's blatant misuse of taxpayer money




The image above, of a partial 2005 Cincinnati Reds schedule, apparently doesn't advocate Chris Monzel despite the picture of him and the text "Councilmen Chris Monzel." The Cincinnati Elections Commission decided Thursday to let Monzel slide. This situation has been well documented at the sources available below.

The complaint

Korte's take on the hearing

Dean's response to findings


The citizens of Cincinnati deserve better than this. No one other than Chris Monzel and his campaign team want to see Monzel's name on the Reds schedule. It clearly serves no purpose other than to increase Monzel's name/face recognition with an eye toward successfully holding his council seat in the upcoming election.

I heretofore declare that Mr. Monzel's first name is offically changed to "Red."

Red Monzel, and the rest of City Hall, now have confirmation that they can spend money platering their face on things for no good reason — as long as they act early!

Mountain, meet Molehill.

There is no basis for a complaint here. If there were, then council members could no longer send out correspondence, because it would be considered campaign material. In fact, using that argument, the complaint itself can be considered propoganda to help promote the Dean.
