Topic: Charter Party of Cincinnati, Ohio


  
  Charter Party - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Charter Party claims to be the "oldest active independent political party." It was founded in 1924, during a time when Cincinnati government was under the control of a corrupt Republican machine.
Cincinnati was infamous for being the most corruptly governed major city in the United States, the era of Boss Cox (established by George Cox in the 1880s), controlled then by his protege Rudolph Hynicka, who spent most of his time in New York.
Party organizers prefer the term "Charter Committee" rather than "Charter Party." As of January 1, 2003, the current president of the Charter Committee is Michael Goldman.

Libertarians in Ohio are working with a coalition -- Coalition Opposed to Additional Spending and Taxes -- that is trying to amend the Cincinnati city charter to eliminate a large portion of the city’s property tax.
Cincinnati residents would still have to pay the property taxes collected by the county and school district, but city residents would save about 11 percent on their annual property tax bill, for a total citywide savings of about $28 million per year.
In the last election, the charter amendment was heartily opposed by the city’s fire and police unions and other city employees, who benefit from the tax collection.
