If New York City can have the services of Michael Bloomberg for a dozen years, why can’t Dayton benefit from having local business legend Clay Mathile take the helm as the new Montgomery County Administrator now that Deb Feldman has found her soft landing which so many of our local political has beens seem to [...]
Who cares that you start your campaign $92K in the hole, as soon as you turn on the new campaign, the money rolls in, $97,510, and you pay off your former political consultant a 4-year-old debt of $5k, you start paying yourself back on the loans you made, and you collect the money for the [...]
With the last-minute changes to the congressional districts in December 2011, residents of the northern part of Fayette County found themselves with a new incumbent congressman, Mike Turner, and a new divide in their community. This article from the Washington Court House Record-Herald comes in handy to find out who your congressman is or will [...]

I invited 35,000 of you to come to the League of Women Voters’ event tonight via a robo-call.

It’s not my preferred way of campaigning, but, since I don’t have everyone’s email addresses (and there is [...]
Tonight at 6 p.m. the League of Women Voters is having a candidates’ night at Stivers School of the Arts. We may even see Mike Turner there for the first time, and maybe Edward Breed as well. Unfortunately, we can also look forward to seeing Sharen Neuhardt say the exact same thing over and over [...]
There is a local election for Congress, where 9 citizens are challenging the incumbent. These 9 people have been attending events, speaking, campaigning for almost 2 months. We’ve not seen a TV camera yet. The incumbent, Mike Turner, pops into town to sign something, to announce something- he always gets a TV camera or a [...]
I’ve not posted my complete profile of Sharen Neuhardt yet.

Hardly a day goes by without me getting a postcard telling me to save the [...]
