		<description><![CDATA[I live in Hamilton County (Cincinnati).  Part of the problem is that the County Commission which forced the bond issue and sales tax increase for the stadiums was all Republican.  The current Commission is controlled by the Democrats.  Therefore, it&#039;s the other guy&#039;s fault.
The current shortfall, which anyone with a working brain could have predicted when the stadiums were authorized, is now a political football, with no one willing to do what&#039;s needed to resolve the financial issue.  At the time of the sales tax increase, the politicians put in a 2.5% property tax reduction as an &quot;offset&quot;.  The issue is whether to remove the offset.  I don&#039;t see an alternative, but politicians being a different and lower species, they&#039;ll try to convince the voters that it&#039;s only &quot;temporary&quot;.]]></description>
