Perception
If you don't want Lee Gray as a township trustee, the just keep doing what you're doing right here. Make it abolutely clear that you will publicize, in detail, every single one of these issues.
I don't believe there's any doubt that Mr Gray is not happy about being out of public office (hate to call it public office with him there, it's more of a special interest thing, but I won't go into that) Don't think that he doesn't fall asleep every night regreting the indescretions that caused his downfall, and plotting how he can work with his friends to regain his political career despite these past incidents. That would seem a silly goal anywhere but Pickerington and Fairfield County, but Mr. Demastry and Mr. McAullife have shown that to be a reasonable expectation here...at least right up until the feds show up with handcuffs.
The local papers are not intested in ''bashing'' ''private citizens'' for no reason. But, once he would declare a candidacy for a trustee position, and have an opponent, I would think it would be easy to get this information out to the public. I don't like the idea of a negative campaign, but if the shoe fits...
Anything to keep people like Lee Gray from returning to a position where he has a position of influence is justified. (note that I separated that from actual influence, which he apparently still has here)
