Pepper: Heimlich is root of revolving door
David Pepper's television ad doesn't even mention David Pepper.
The 30-second ad for Pepper -- a Democrat challenging incumbent Republican Hamilton County Commissioner Phil Heimlich -- features Heimlich's photo and what the commercial notes is Heimlich's blame for the lack of jail space in Hamilton County and the resulting early release of thousands of prisoners.
The only time Pepper appears in the ad is his photo and name on the trailer at the very end.
Here's the ad. (Warning: It is a large file and will take some time on a dial-up connection.)

Post a Comment*so what?
yeh, so what? heimlich's brain (finney the fink) imploded tuesday showing us what the pit crew really looks like.
heimlich is the root of the revolving door onproperty taxpayers money - through the children's services door, out the county general fund door!
heimlich needs to enter that same revolving door right out of the county!
David Pepper is already trying to buy this election, just like he tried to buy the Mayoral election. Money won't give him credibility and it won't prevent people from remembering his soft-on-crime approach in downtown Cincinnati. It doesn't matter how often David is forced to crawls back to his parent's million dollar estate to ask Dad for his allowance in advance, he still doesn't have a chance. As head of the safety commission in downtown Cincinnati, Pepper’s complacent and anemic city policies saw crime skyrocket. How much has Pepper’s failed policies affected the city’s record homicide rate? The city of Cincinnati has started a failing economic slide and crime is rampant. Voters cannot let David Pepper bring his failed, incompetent and risky ideas to the rest of the Hamilton County.
So David, if you can see past your Ivy League education and transcend petty political gamesmanship, you may only get beat by 10 points.
To Phil, Chris, Brian and Mike: keep it up, David can only get weaker from here.
Commuter: Did you miss the last couple of posts on this blog? I'm pretty sure they show Pepper bringing up some ideas for when he's Commissioner. Also, what do you have to say about Heimlich if you have so much crticism of Pepper? You do understand that the City of Cincinnati is in Hamilton County don't you? And much of the money the City can use would have to stem from the County? That problems with crime mostly stem from County run facilities. Can I say County some more?
Pepper may not be the best choice, but Heimlich has definitely shown that his poor leadership, funky beliefs, and handouts don't prove well for Hamilton County and subsequently the City of Cincinnati.
Heimlich hasn't gotten us the jail or the banks, but he's done a great job of getting us lots of debt.
"Commuter", you must have inhaled too many fumes on I-71.
Who is trying to buy this election? Heimlich has more money than Pepper does in his war chest, thanks to The Godfather, Carl Linder, and his $75,000 dollar donation. All the lesser Linders have each given Heimlich $75,000 also. Other big money, multi-thousand dollar contributions to Heimlich have come from the likes of Otto Budding, Richard Farmer, Robert Rhien, Dennis Blay, Stan Chesley (a Dem who has given Heimlich over $10,000 so far and gets tens of thousands of dollars annually in no-bid legal work doled out from Hamilton County in a pay for play scheme), Robert Coletti, Gary Heiman, William Rumpke, and others. Heimlich's campaign contribution report reads like a who's who list of Cincinnati's richest families. Read it for yourself, and this is just through July 1st:

These ultra-wealthy individuals are Phil Heimlich's constituents. Heimlich only cares about them and their issues, not the interests of the other 98% of Hamilton county residents (us ‘little people’). The property tax rollback scheme is a prime example of this; only those with properties worth a half million dollars and up will see any real savings from the 'roll back'. The rest of save $30 per year and pay through the nose due to the increased sales tax in nearly everything we purchase.
Rich,
Don't demonize Heimlich for accepting contributions from Hamilton County residents. Not everyone is a rich trust-fund baby. Please excuse, Heimlich for having to actually campaign for contributions. Not all of us have millionaire fathers that prop-up our floundering campaigns.
The biggest donor to Pepper last campaign was himself! Secondly, 52% of his contributions came from outside of the county. From liberals in New York, Denver and San Francisco. All connections set up by Pepper's rich daddy.
Why does Pepper have such a hard time raising money inside Hamilton County? Because his time on city council just cemented his reputation as an absolute incompetent joke. He was head of the safety commission when he was kidnapped outside his home!
And to the anon at 2:01 PM. Of course the jail problem stems from the county run facility. The city doesn't have their own jail! They use the county's! Obviously your familiarity with the city is waning. Anon, I want you to go research the percent of prisoners in Hamilton county jail that are from outside the city of Cincinnati. That is where the problem lies. The problem is not commissioners running the jail, it's the incompetent democrats running a crime-ridden city. We wouldn't need a bigger jail if the council would actually do their job and protect the citizenry. Just like a democrat to blame others for the mess they created.
Warm Wishes,
I-71 Commuter
Kimbell Thank you for another BIAS article from you.
I like the way PHIL is stating how he SAVED Drake Hospital. Saving it by taking credit and handing off to the Alliance - in some written deal we will never see. Saved it by organizing the ONLY opposition to Drake at the CC meetings; causing hundreds of people to loose their jobs directly or indirectly in an already tight job market. Now I hear through the grapeving that another very key person left Drake and that they know have 15 of the residents terminated from mediciaid; people who may have been on it for years and years. However, no one at the Alliance was interested in learning the persons job and now she gone. 15 patients x about $10,000 in revenue per day is $150,000/day in lost revenue. Whos going to look into it when the number reaches 50 and Medicaid stops making all those payments. I worked at Drake;; the Drake Administrative people who were UNFAIRLY accused of stealing millions were geneous, honorable and very respected people who put their lives into making Drake work. When the Alliance came in with their managment team that had personnel people skills of -10, people began leaving in droves, others took deals or buyouts and some are still unhappily there.
IS THIS THE SUCCESS PHIL WANTS TO TAK CREDIT FOR ???
