I want announce to the PATA WEB site, that last week I filed a complaint with the Fairfield county Board of Elections.
My two questions of them are first why didn?’t the 4 city council incumbents file the required pre-election reports. Even if they had signed a waiver indicating that they were not going to spend more than $2,000 they still must file if they had contributions from any one person, including themselves, of $100 or more. Clearly they had their signs out by October 7th 2001. That would have been at least 10 days before the October 18th deadline.
The second question is the mailer that the Pickerington Republican Club mailed out to the registered Republicans on November 3rd 2001. Any political organization must appoint (designate) a treasurer before they can accept or spend money. The treasurer then is responsible for the reporting to the local board of elections. The treasurer, Ed Laramee, reports that he didn?’t have knowledge of this mailer yet whoever mailed it indicated that he did. There is credible evidence that Mr. Laramee didn?’t have knowledge because his street address was wrong. We must give Mr. Laramee credit for knowing what street he lived on. If Mr. Laramee?’s account of October 18th is correct then clearly those that produced that document were trying to mislead the registered Republicans here in the Pickerington Area. So whoever paid for this mailing should have indicated their name and not used the false name of the Pickerington Republican Club. I think there is fraud in only four members (two of whom were candidates) of this Republican Club endorsing anyone in a non-partisan election.
Now lets see the wheels of justice turn.
