Pepper proudly produces poll

A poll -- expected to be released Wednesday -- will show David Pepper doing well in his campaign against incumbent Hamilton County Commissioner Phil Heimlich.

It also will show "how people feel about the county (as a) government," Pepper spokeswoman Bridget Doherty said today.

She called the Enquirer to ask if it would run a story about the polls results in the newspaper instead of this blog.

The Enquirer declined, noting that its custom on polls is to write about them only if they are independent polls -- not paid for by the candidates.

Those go in this blog.
