Changing of the guard

David Pepper (pictured) becomes Hamilton County's newest commissioner when he is sworn in Tuesday.

Commissioners have called a special 10:30 a.m. meeting so Pepper can be sworn in and his two new employees, Bridget Doherty and Jen Winkleman.

Pepper, a Democrat, defeated incumbent Republican Phil Heimlich in the Nov. 7 election.


With Pepper's win, it will give the Democrats a majority on the commission for the first time since 1962.

Pepper should be utterly embarrassed that his mommy & daddy spent $300,000 to get him elected. But he's not, because he has that child-of-a-priviledge entitlement mentality. What a rich pompous prick. Without his family wealth, he wouldn't have won.

Without Heimlich on his knees in front of Lindner and every other corporate prostitute in the region sucking up for and choking down big money- Pepper wouldn't have had to tap into the only honest money a politician can take - monies from people who only expect him to make them proud and do the family name well.

Thank God there are some rich fat cats that care more about their community than lining their personal pockets.

It this kind of "child-of-a privledge " to invest your inheritance in sereving your community.

And, by the way, Heimlich IS the rich kid... he just succumbs to the ideology of survivial of the richest by kneeling before the other rich fat cats he serves over the people

Let's see - being the son of rich and/or noted parents seems to work in local, state, and national politics. Taft, DeWine, Heimlich, GWB, Jeb. That's just for starters. How about J Q Adams and Benj. Harrison? Anyone care to add to the list?

So Pepper hired:
1) A black man;
2) A white woman who just worked for organized labor; and
3) Another women, who if you google her name, just worked for a pro-abortion organization.

gotcha

Yea I will add to the list Kerry, Kennedy(all of them). Just to start a list of some Dems. Lets face it DC is full of rich Republicans and Democrats. Heimlich and Pepper are both children of priviledge. And if you look at the people and compainies that they both got money from in the past election it includes much the same. They both got money from corporations and rich people in Cincy. Check out the info that they had to report to the Board of Elections. I have no problem with Pepper getting money from his parents. It is legal. However don't act like he did not get money from special interests and rich people with a lot of influence in Hamilton County.

Democrats have taken over:

Let the investigations begin!

Drake

The stadium payoffs

The billion-dollar JFS scandal

Complicity in Marcus Feisel's murder

Courthouse hiring practices

No-bid contracts

Pay-to-play

Who lets Rumpke keep operating and polluting?

Si needs that new jail built to house all the corrupt, bought-off Repugnicants.
