Rigged? Wait, what?
Truth be told, CityBeat would love
to endorse a Democrat for the First Congressional District. Generally
speaking, we do not support Rep. Steve Chabot. We don’t like his
opposition to Obama’s jobs bills. We don’t like how he went along with
the debt-ceiling crisis of 2011 that nearly brought down the entire
economy and led S&P to downgrade the U.S. credit rating from a AAA
rating to a AA+ rating. We don’t like how he amended a transportation
law to make it so Cincinnati can’t get streetcar funding from the
federal government. So we would love to endorse a Democratic opponent to
contrast Chabot.
