Anti-tax group opposes film commission funding plan
Cincinnati Business Courier - 9:58 AM EDT Thursday, March 22, 2007
A Tri-State group says it will file suit if Hamilton County and the city of Cincinnati go ahead with a plan to fund the Greater Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky Film Commission.
The city and county had made plans to spend surplus money from the hotel/motel tax that had been used for the expansion of Duke Energy Center, which included funding the film commission. The Coalition Opposed to Additional Spending and Taxes (COAST) maintained in a news release that the city and county are exceeding their authority to utilize the money, which they said should be spent only for the construction, maintenance or marketing of the downtown convention center.

Lol. I thought it'd be some developer trying to make artificial beachfront subdivisions. XP

Yeah, I agree, the just say no strategy is dumb & they seem pretty weak on coming up with ways to privately finance the issues they don't want publicly funded.
Jeez, it's just 4 people.

Fail.
By fail I mean "COAST" fails, not you Quimb.

COAST's Shifting Line on Jail 'Crisis'
BY Kevin Osborne | Posted 08/20/2008
In one of life's little ironies, an anti-tax group that prides itself on trying to save taxpayer money and stop government waste actually helped set the stage for squandering millions of dollars in taxpayer money on an unneeded expense.
