The Cincinnati Beacon

6 Pennies Per Vote!
Friday, December 14, 2007

Posted by Media Release

WeDemandABetterPlan.Com today filed its campaign finance report showing total expenditures of $6,108 and in-kind contributions of $864.

In contrast, the pro-levy group today filed a report showing expenditures of $964,905 (from the beginning of the campaign forward).  Momma Pepper apparently did not contribute any more funds to the cause after the pre-election report was filed.

The anti-levy forces spent 6¢ per vote to get out their message.

In contrast, pro-levy advocates spent $11.20 per “yes” vote to advance their message.  Or, using an alternative analysis, they spent nearly $500 per vote for the 1% who switched their position from November of 2006 to November of 2007.

Doesn’t that information and analysis warm the the cockles of your holiday hearts?
