Vote 'NO' to Agree with Advertiser-Tribune Editorial

[rctwe...@gmail.com]

I agree with the Advertiser-Tribune on the principle of protecting the
use of our TAX DOLLARS.

A recent editorial is entitled: "Bailout shouldn’t protect profits,
salaries"

(http://www.advertiser-tribune.com/page/content.detail/id/509337.html?
nav=5006)

The A-T Editor reminds us that TAX DOLLAR decisions "...must not cross
the line to protecting the profits - or the salaries - of companies
and executives that will benefit."

Unacceptable behavior is permitted by government officials, and
encouraged by big business whenever officials of big financially
successful institutions are subsidized by our tax dollars. Remember
what the A-T Editor wrote:

"Taxpayers who probably will be on the hook for $700 billion to fund
the bill are reluctant enough to spend that kind of money to keep
financial institutions from sinking. If they learn anyone, either
personally or corporately, actually has made additional profits as a
result of the measure, they will be furious. They should be."

Thank you, Mr. Editor, and everyone else at the Advertiser-Tribune who
supports this line of responsible thinking! It is clearly in every
one's best interest that NO single person, business or institution
profiteers from TAX SUBSIDIZED decisions that are supposed to benefit
ALL of us...but would abuse us, instead. We should all be "furious"!

Do you notice the civic-minded principles the Advertiser-Tribune
espouses, and to which nearly all Tiffin Citizens agree?

Did you notice that these principles clearly explain what has gone
wrong with the financially powerful Tiffin University and their Miami
Street Project? Did you notice TU Officials are trying to get TAX
MONEY to pay for their Miami Street Improvement project, even if it
would harm every Tiffin Tax Payer in the neighborhood, while it
benefits a select group of private businesses?

Tiffin University continues its march as the most financially powerful
and politically influential business in Tiffin, Ohio. They don't need
the tax subsidy from financially struggling taxpayers, but every
private business person in line for a contract is "drooling". The
financial drooling of these private businesses is based on the hope
that Tiffin University Officials, along with the Chamber of Commerce
Board, will be able to confuse Tiffin Taxpayers into abusing each
other from the voting booth.

I agree with the Advertiser-Tribune when the Editor said,

"That is human nature. It is understandable. But it is not
acceptable."

So, get furious! The right thing to do is to vote 'NO' on the Miami
Street Project Referendum from Ordinance 07-70.

I'm glad to hear that the Advertiser-Tribune agrees with good
principles of Citizenship! This is only one more reason to vote 'NO'
on Tiffin University's Miami Street Improvement Project. Please vote
'NO' on the Referendum for Ordinance 07-70. Your 'NO' vote is for
responsible use of our TAXES. Please get furious, now!

Thank you,
