Schmidt camp blasts Dems in response to tax attack

By Justin Miller, PolitickerOH.com Reporter

U.S. Rep. Jean Schmidt (R-Cincinnati)’s campaign blasted local Democrats over their “baseless and juvenile” attack on Schmidt over property taxes.

The Clermont Co. Democratic Party accused Schmidt of not paying her fair share of taxes on a parcel of land in Clermont County as a partial owner in a press release recently. The party said it sounds “fishy” that Schmidt paid $97 in taxes last year on land that Schmidt’s U.S. House financial disclosure form lists as valued at more than $500,000.
