I'm no expert at reading these reports, but if I understand them right - if we use these reports as a view into how these guys will run the county- it seems Pepper can do more with far less and get better results than Heimlich.
And, if we look at the contributors we can clearly see who the candidates aim to serve - Pepper - pretty much spread out evenly all over the county and contributors from all walks of life. Whereas Heimlich's campaign is doing alot of good for the eastside business and those that live on the eastside in upscale areas.
There were two questionable entries;
Rob Seddon has made out like a bandit. Even in June he was accepting "consulting fees" from Heimlich during a period when I thought he was working as a county employee. I think I'd like to see his time sheets and a description of the "consulting" he is doing.(What is this kid's credentials anyway??)
The second entry finally answers some questions about Heimlich and his tendency to appoint personal friends and contributors to county committees - of course, I expected Finney the Fink inthere -that was old news. But, finally, confirmation that Crystal Faulkner - despite all the repeated denials - is a contributor to the Heimlich agenda.
That puts a whole new spin on the review they did of the jail tax situation considering she was another crooney "plant" by Heimlich ( and DeWine - remember , this corruption in Hamilton County takes two)into a county position of power and influence. Faulner's leadership of that group's work makes the jail recommendations suspect at the least and corrupt at the worst - but not matter what - they aren't credible anymore. (Shame! What was Heimlich afraid of and why did DeWine tolerate it?)
Overall - a real disappointment.

i am not a campaign operative. i am a registered republican who really does believe in democracy, community service and the truth.
the corruption in ohio and under bush is an embarassment and must be corrected. these people pawning themselves off as conservatives and running on the republican ticket dishonor the party and the goals.
out with them.
and if the new guys pull the same crappola - i'd call them out , too.

I find these reports informative, illuminating those who really pull the financial strings in the area. I use the reports to inform my own decisions, in some cases, in my consumer choices- do I want to make it easier for so-and-so to contribute to pols I may or may not support?
