The Cincinnati Enquirer's blog Politics Extra has a
story that the Judge (who secretly is a regular reader of WMD) should have shared with us this weekend.
Clermont County reporter Barrett Brunsman reports from Batavia:
A candidate for a seat on the 12th District Court of Appeals doesn’t agree with the verdict of the Cincinnati Business Courier, which labeled him “one of Ohio’s least busy judges.”
The Feb. 15 “special report” focused on whether lengthy civil cases cost businesses money, but Judge Robert P. Ringland of Clermont County Common Pleas Court said he fears the story could cost him votes in the Nov. 4 election.
“This was a violation of Journalism 101,” Ringland said. “The whole report is flawed. I will match my reputation against any other judge in the state of Ohio for work ethic and performance.”
Of course, Judge, the circulation of the Cincinnati Business Courier comes in at a staggering 12 copies, so I wouldn't worry too much. Anyway, we've got your back!
