OHD-28: Pillich (D) is PRO-Tax, Calls Press Conference to Prove It?

Statement from Hamilton County GOP Chairman Alex:

"The latest political stunt by Rep. Pillich regarding a mysterious $100 bill supposedly mailed on her behalf can only leave voters in the 28th House District scratching their heads about the type of legislator she is and the type of campaign she is running. This afternoon, Rep. Pillich called a press conference to announce major, breaking, and critical information to the public and to her constituents. Allegedly, someone wrote a letter with a $100 cash donation to the opponents of a tax levy campaign claiming the donation came from her and according to news reports, it mysteriously ended up in Pillich's mailbox instead of at its intended recipient. How convenient. Ms. Pillich then notified the press and attempted to make this a campaign issue. She also contacted the police department.

"In a universe where Pillich has left many of us scratching our heads at her decision-making for two years, today's conspiratorial allegations have reached bizarre proportions-even for her. If one is to believe Ms. Pillich's assertion, someone tried to set her up as being anti-tax by pretending to be her and making it seem like she was against a tax levy and then conveniently sent her the supposed evidence. Wouldn't that be a stretch for a liberal Democrat?
"If one were to believe that Mike Wilson had anything to do with this, one would have to believe that Mr. Wilson hopes to paint Ms. Pillich as a person opposed to additional taxes. What planet does Ms. Pillich reside upon?
This bizarre, silly antic by Ms. Pillich and her supporters is exactly why we need serious change in the 28th House District."

Alex is right.  This is a wacky stunt and the amazing thing is that it doesn't help her cause at all either.
