The Second District Court of Appeals just dismissed my quo warranto case against Clerk of Courts Mike Foley, effectively saying that only Prosecutor Mat Heck can enforce the Ohio Constitution’s rule for removing corrupt officials. That means if Heck refuses to act, the Constitution is worthless — and the next filing will be to remove him for neglect of duty. Here’s my motion to reconsider.

Ohio’s Second District Court of Appeals just ruled that citizens have no standing to remove a convicted public official from office — even though Ohio law explicitly gives them that right. The court dismissed my quo warranto action without a hearing, without argument, and without addressing the statute that allows citizen enforcement when prosecutors refuse. This isn’t democracy — it’s political self-protection. If politicians can police themselves, then the Ohio Constitution is meaningless. Read the ruling. See the law. Decide for yourself.

This guide cuts through the noise, follows the money, and calls out who works for the public and who works for the insiders. Transparency matters, wherever you vote.

Early voting starts Tuesday, Oct. 7, but in Dayton that also means the dirty tricks season begins. From attack mailers to hot-mic moments, there’s still plenty to learn before casting a ballot. I’ve seen too many voters regret voting early after new revelations surface—whether it’s push polls, secret donors, or last-minute scandals. The most telling information often comes from campaign finance reports due Oct. 23, exposing who’s buying influence. Stay informed, wait to vote, and make sure your decision is based on all the facts—not the spin.
