This week, Hamilton County Commissioner Todd Portune issued the following letter to Phil Heimlich crony and backroom operator Christopher P. Finney, Esq.  In addition to being a must-read, it is absolutely hilarious!

Chris,

I read your invitation to the upcoming “Meet and Greet” with Phil Heimlich.* It was so astonishing I had to respond.

You wrote that Phil’s agenda has been thwarted by “stiff and consistent opposition from a liberal cabal of social service groups, left-wing media and, yes, liberal Democrat Todd Portune.”

After I stopped laughing, it occurred to me that you might actually believe this. Hamilton County’s been under Republican rule for 30 years. If there’s a liberal cabal and left wing media conspiracy, you’re the only one who seems to be aware of it. Chris, what have you been smoking?

Another thing, I wouldn’t be so quick to make accusations of secret-keeping and conspiracy. The way Phil conducts county business behind closed doors, he could give the NSA some tips. Then there’s the matter of Phil’s relationships with those he favors with county appointments.

Chris, your rhetoric’s on full boil and it’s only Labor Day. You might want to pace yourself.

Cheers,

Todd
