Our good friend and regular reader Don Carpenter asks a very important question for 12th District voters: Does Mary McElwee live in the district that she wants to represent on the Court of Appeals?Mary McElwee has never cast a ballot in a general election in the 12th district, never worn a judicial robe and for all intent and purposes is a smooth talking carpetbagger. Mary, why don't you move into the 1st District and run since you have lived in Hamilton County for over thirty years?Over to you, Willie...
UPDATE: Just to make sure that Don's comments get entered in to the permenant record of WMD, I wanted to front-page them:
Just go to the Hamilton County Auditor's web site and look for John & Mary McElwee, 9636 Sycamore Trace Court, Cincinnati, OH 45242. The parcel ID is 612-0080-0453-00. What we have heard is that she registered to vote on Clinton County on November 16, 2007 and I have it on good authority that her voting record is in Hamilton County. While she has worked in Clinton County for many years, as a PART-TIME magistrate she has only recently rented a home in the district. This smacks of political expediency at it's finest.It doesn't look good, that much I can say with authority...
UPDATE 2: Here is a map of the 12th District for reference...
