Jon Husted’s Profile in Public Fraud May End Up A Chance for A Jennifer Brunner Profile In Courage
Filed under: Jennifer Brunner, State of Ohio Govt, ohio politics
The Dayton Daily News is reporting tonight that the Montgomery County Board of Elections cast a tie vote along party lines, punting to Ohio Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner to make the final determination on how big a fraud State Sen. Jon Husted, R-Upper Arlington, really is.
Progress Ohio, a public interest group based in Columbus, filed the original complaint in Montgomery County against Husted. By Ohio law, state representatives and state senators must live in their districts. Husted claims to be “R-Kettering,” but is actually “R-Upper Arlington.” He was elected to be “R-Kettering,” but since he has been “R-Upper Arlington” for so long he is illegitimate. Some have even speculated that he is “A-Upper Arlington.” (“A” is for asshole, party of one – him.)
In a bit of drama tonight, Progress Ohio beseeched Brunner to live up to her Profile in Courage Award by officially declaring Slick Jonny irrelevant. At any rate, it’s the stated editorial opinion of this blog that Jon Husted should be banned in 38 states and all the provinces of Canada.
What follows is real, from the Dayton Daily News:
Husted testified at his hearing that he is at his Kettering home weekly, but declined to say how often he or his family sleep there. He and his family are rarely seen in Kettering, according to neighbors and Dayton Daily News spot checks. A review of water records show very low water usage at the house, with bills for three quarters in 2007 and 2008 showing less than 750 gallons used.
Twenty-two spots checks of his home since Jan. 5 showed no sign of Husted or a vehicle at various times through the day and night. Newspapers stayed on the driveway for days and sometimes there were no tire tracks in snow on his driveway or indication that it had been shoveled. At night there is usually the same light and television on in the house.
On Jan. 17 at 6 p.m. there was no sign of lights or TV but a package blocked the front door. Two hours later, the same package blocked the door, but the television could be seen flickering through the blinds. The next morning at 10 a.m., the same package was still blocking the door.
Husted denies using a timer to control the television and he refused to say where he parks when he is home. He declined to answer further questions.
