To my elected officials

To elected officials of Cincinnati and Hamilton County:
As a duly designated taxpayer of Hamilton County and an unrepresented, unwilling one for the City of Cincinnati, (my wife and I work there but live in the county) I am hereby serving notice that Iand my fellow taxpayers are tired of your misrepresentations. You promised two stadiums for 451 million dollars. We paid that much for just one. That means you lied. Don't smile sheepishly. Don't hem and haw. You lied. Bold faced. You promised us a downtown cultural center with living spaces, shopping and entertainment. It's been ten long years. No matter how quickly you break ground now, it will cost 10 times as much as you said it would. So again, you lied. Now you are about to go into our pockets again for three million dollars a year to support (meaning "to prop up") the Underground Railroad Museum Center. You remember that don't you? That wonderful self-sustaining cultural center that Hollywood stars and other cultural icons would flock to support with big money fundraisers? The one that would draw thoundands of visitors to our beautiful city just to see it and them visit The Banks for shopping and entertainment? Well surprise! There's no shopping or entertainment there. Why? Because you lied. The Center isn't self sustaining; you said it would be. You lied. So here's an idea. Stop it. Do the honorable thing and get out now. Leave politics. Let someone else try to succeed where you failed. But you won't. Because you know one thing. No matter how often you lie, we continue to elect you. Apparently we don't mind liars.
