Hamilton County BOE to get new member


With Brad Greenberg resigning to become a Municipal Court judge, the Hamilton County Republican Party is nominating Charles H. "Chip" Gerhardt III (left with Rep. Jean Schmidt in February) to the Board of Elections.

The board's four members consist of two Republicans -- now Greenberg and Hamilton County GOP chairman George Vincent -- and two Democrats, now Dan Radford and Tim Burke, head of the Hamilton County Democratic Party.

The board is responsible for counting votes, preparing ballots and other election-related duties.

Gerhardt's nomination must be approved by the Ohio Secretary of State's office but those nominations are rarely turned down.

Gerhardt, an attorney, is vice president of KMK Consulting, owned by his Cincinnati law firm, Keating, Muething and Klekamp.

Where can I get a mask of Congresswoman Schmidt? My girlfriend wants to dress up as a witch for Halloween and thought wearing a mask of Mean Jean would be perfect? Please help out if you can! Thanks!

The point of parties appointing two officials to each board is so they are bi-partisan. Of course each party is going to nominate whoever has done the most for the party, and who will most help the party in the elections. That's why both county chairman are on the board.

Hey Anonymous at 11:11, 10/13, as mean as you are, I suspect your girlfriend probably doesn't need a mask of any kind to portray a witch for Halloween. And you have the nerve to call Congresswoman Jean Schmidt "mean." Hello, pot; kettle calling!
