"... 73 percent of Ohioans said they prefer "divided partyWould a similar finding apply to local and county politics if the question were posed? Ponder this: while Heimlich and Pepper were duking it out, spending hundreds of thousands of dollars for the Hamilton County Commissioner’s race, Scott Croswell (incumbent Clermont County Commissioner) "ran" unopposed in Clermont County.
control," while 20.5 percent want "one-party control."
The three Commissioners are of the same party in Clermont -- who is overseeing what these three bobbleheads are doing? I say “bobbleheads” because I have this image of them all shaking their heads in unison on whatever it is they are voting on. Check out the votes in their minutes. I can’t recall when I have ever seen dissention among the votes: "Yes, Yes, Yea." I for one think that it is high time for there to be divided party control in this county. Where is the accountability? Where is the responsibility to the citizens?
At the township level, Township Trustees are elected on a non-partisan basis, but let’s face it: they’re all cut from the same cloth – at least in Miami Township. Voters in this county need to get a clue and find out what is going on because the resources of the county are being squandered in the existing culture of corruption that runs from the County leadership down to the townships.
Unfortunately, this is very unlikely because there is blind allegiance to the GOP. Sadly, at least for the Clermont Commissioner’s races, the only letter most Clermont Countians can read is (R). I suppose it is only a matter of time before something like ‘Coingate’ brings these insulated leaders down. We can only hope.
