November 6th is quickly approaching and we will all be happy to see the campaign ads and signs go away. Many of us have already voted, but most of us will go to our polling locations next Tuesday. When you vote, please vote for me, for state representative, for Ohio’s 65th house district. The area […]
August 29, 2012 The Community Journal Dear Editor: The last time I wrote to you, the voters of Clermont County, I was a Republican candidate for the office of 65th District State Representative. That was the week before the primary election in March. (Thank you so much for looking favorably upon my candidacy.) Since then, […]

Ohio’s 65th House District includes the cities of Milford and Loveland (inside Clermont County) and the townships of Union, Miami, Goshen, Stonelick, and Wayne. I am asking for your vote on March 6th so that I can […]
December 23, 2011 The Cincinnati Enquirer Dear Editor: Many thanks to the Union Township Police, Trustees, and County Prosecutor Don White for shutting down Deja Vu in Mt. Carmel (“Strip club agrees to close by year’s end,”Dec.16). Over the years, many of us have prayed, protested, and/or picketed to rid our community of the smut […]
December 21, 2011 The Community Journal Dear Editor: Kudos to Tonia Blackburn Many of us interact with government employees but don’t always take the time to say thank you. Over the years, I’ve worked with staff from Clermont County’s Auditor’s, Clerk of Courts, Commissioner’s, Engineers, Recorder’s, Sheriff’s, and Treasurer’s offices and can’t say enough good […]
January 14, 2011 Community Journal Kudos to Stuart Kennedy for pointing out the virtues of limited government (Founding fathers had the same concerns – Jan. 12, 2011). The lessons taught by Thomas Jefferson and the other founders can certainly be applied at the Township and county levels. I’ll look forward to future letters from Mr. […]
June 25, 2010 Community Journal Kudos to the Union Township trustees, administration, and police department. They have been enforcing zoning ordinances and prostitution laws against sexually oriented businesses in our community. It has been well documented that those shady establishments cause increases in crime, urban blight, and reductions in property values. Personally, I’d like to […]
June 16, 2010 Community Journal Kudos to Ed Dyer. He is the director of operations for the West Clermont schools. On a number of occasions, Mr. Dyer has addressed the school board regarding construction, maintenance and other issues. He also has invited the taxpayers to tour the facilities and see the equipment first hand. I […]
May 19, 2010 The Community Journal Dear Editor: Since I am a resident of Union Township, I will not advise the residents of Milford on whether or not their former mayor should be allowed to stay on as a member of city council. However, if a Union Township Trustee were to have a sexual relationship […]
May 18, 2010 The Cincinnati Enquirer Dear Editor: Gail Collins opined much anti-gun rhetoric: (“Fighting for the right to bear arms in airports,” May 18). She doesn’t understand that it is reasonable to assume that bad guys will take their guns anywhere they want. Therefore, it is equally reasonable to allow good guys to carry […]
