Congrats, Columbus you raised your own taxes

I guess we avoided people dying in the streets but I find it rather depressing that Mayor Coleman, The Dispatch, and the Chamber of Commerce threatened the city residents into raising their own taxes out of fear that the failure of Issue 1 would mean unsafe streets and all of Columbus turning into a bad neighborhood in Detroit.

Sad too that the opposition couldn’t be more organized and funded so as to get a little more than three thousand people to vote No and change the outcome.
