Is Mike DeWine vandalizing the page about Jim Renacci?

I believe Mike DeWine is vandalizing the Wiki page about Jim Renacci.

He appears to be using the username DiWinner.

This- In June 2016, the Renacci's won their case against the State of Ohio (represented by Attorney General Mike DeWine) after appealing it to the Ohio Surpreme Court. The court's unanimous decision affirmed they had properly appealed the tax assessment in June 2006.

Was changed, by DiWinner, to- In June 2016, the Renacci's won their case against the State of Ohio after appealing it to the Ohio Surpreme Court. The court's unanimous decision affirmed they had properly appealed the tax assessment in June 2006.

DiWinner also added this- Renacci did not serve his country in the United States military or its affiliates.

I then objected to this, removed it, and left the talk note- Removing a sentence that adds nothing to the page. Stating, "he did not serve his country in the military" is biased and adds nothing. Is this done for every person?

DiWinner promptly edited the page again- Renacci did not serve his country in the United States military or its affiliates.

Check the edits done by DiWinner in Nov and Dec of 2017. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:1700:B130:1A00:BDCF:DF2C:9CF1:9FCC (talk) 07:11, 4 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Civil Rights question at townhall meeting

Multiple independent sources clearly support the assertion that when asked about civil rights, Renacci advocated local over federal control and intervention. I am particularly concerned about repeated removal of this statement--which has received significant media coverage--because it appears to be coming from an IP address registered to the city government of the city where Renacci used to be mayor.

I'm going to add some additional sources to this section and hopefully the whitewashing (pun intended) will stop. Arbor832466 (talk) 20:00, 4 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

"Unreported" income

Dear Arbor832466: you do not know if that income is "unreported" or not. That is your word. You don't know the whole legal process that Renacci did or did not go through. Many states allow you to report income but refuse to pay tax until there is a legal determination on whether it is a valid tax or not. So for you to use the word "unreported" assumes that you are intimately aware of the legal process that Renacci went through. It is either just your opinion based upon nothing or your opinion based upon your personal experience. In either case, it is not your place, as a Wikipedian, to comment.--InaMaka (talk) 14:08, 6 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah I'm definitely not an expert on Ohio tax law, Renacci-related or otherwise. What I was trying to get at was that the income was not, at the time, taxed. Renacci's position was that it should not have been, the State of Ohio tax board thought it should have. Should we say untaxed? Is that even a word?

Tax Issue: During the 1990s, federal tax laws allowed owners of small businesses to place businesses in trusts.

Renacci and his wife, Tina, established a trust for some of his businesses and paid federal taxes on the trust.

He also reported the trust on state tax returns. Ohio didn’t tax the trusts until 2000, when a new state tax commissioner issued a retroactive and unilateral opinion that the money was subject to state income taxes.

Renacci said he was among thousands of Ohioans who protested the change. The matter was argued to the Ohio Supreme Court.Once the issue was resolved, Renacci paid the state $954,650 in taxes, $146,938 in interest and a $293,876 penalty.

“I still disagree with it, but I lived with it,” Renacci said of the decision. (http://www.cantonrep.com/news/x932337035/Renacci-counters-claims-over-tax-issue-loans) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Gdogg654 (talk • contribs) 20:07, 8 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Heritage

If he's of Italian American heritage, why not add this basic information to the text of the article? Also, based on her maiden name, is his mother Ukrainian? 173.88.246.138 (talk) 05:19, 16 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
