TWO HEADED NICKELS
House Bill 626 sponsored by State Rep. Chuck
Calvert perfectly describes his party’s
solution to every problem – More Tax Cuts for
the Rich. This despicable bill would give over
$400 million in tax cuts (over three years) to
the 1 percent of Ohioans who have an average
annual income of $812,000. In the following
years these friends of Ohio’s Republican Party
would see an annual benefit of $187 million a
year!
This bizarre piece of legislation has
been proposed by Calvert in the waning days of
his last (nudge, nudge, wink, wink) term. Mr.
Calvert is not permitted to run for reelection
this November because of term limits – Ohio
voters have said Eight years is enough.
However, these servants of the
Ultra-Rich can be awfully clever when it comes
to breaking rules that the voters asked for.
The Republican Party appears to believe
that the average regular non-wealthy Ohioan
won’t remember this disgraceful Bill when
Calvert runs again; oh, let’s say, eight years
from now. Just like they are betting that the
voters won’t remember that the Republican
candidate to replace Calvert is William
Batchelder Jr. whom was the State Rep. for the
30 years immediately preceding Calvert’s eight.
The voters said 8 years of legislative
service is enough and Batchelder is running for
his 31st and 32nd year –
representing the interests of the 1 percent;
although, ironically, the title of the seat is
Representative. Please remember whom he
represents when you
vote.
It is time to stop this corrupt and
cynical team as they toggle this position
between them. Like a two-headed nickel; it
doesn’t matter which side lands up –they always
win and you always lose.
The Calvert administration
has done nothing to improve life for the 99
percent of Ohioans who average less than
$812,000 per year, and Batchelder actually
sponsored HB 920, which has devastated the Ohio
school funding system, and is directly
responsible for the funding crisis in Buckeye,
Medina and the Cloverleaf School districts.
Every time your school district comes to you
for another levy, remember that Batchelder sent
them.
Respectully,
