I'm staying, give me your money


Just weeks after Hamilton County Commissioner Phil Heimlich announced he was withdrawing as the lieutenant governor candidate, he is hosting a $1,000-per-plate fundraiser -- and hosting big names.

Citizens for Heimlich, the commissioner's re-election committee, announced today that the March 21 fundraiser will be held at the upscale Queen City Club.

The announcement also specifically notes the planned attendance at the fundraiser of financier Carl Lindner, Cintas Corp. founder and chairman Dick Farmer, developer Robert Rhein and George Vincent, head of the Hamilton County Republican Party.

Rhein sits on the Hamilton County Economic Development Task Force.

The money goes toward Heimlich's re-election effort as commissioner.

Heimlich was the lieutenant governor candidate for Ohio Attorney Jim Petro who is running for governor. Heimlich dropped out of that race last month to seek re-election as commissioner.

Heimlich was elected Hamilton County commissioner in November 2002 to a four-year term.
