Brush Up
Greg Brush is busy following in his predecessors footsteps this spring. Visiting towns and cities throughout the county during his first run for office as the Clerk of Courts. Much like Dan Foley during his election year, Greg has found time to visit, or has scheduled a visit, to every city that broadcasts their council meetings. Free t.v. for the Clerk! This is okay. Karl Keith has this down to an art and has passed this skill onto the neophyte politician Brush.
This is not news in itself. The democrats are the masters at free publicity. Every week the Commissioners have a new photo of themselves on the County Website. Not counting mug shots and calendar shoots, Debbie Lieberman’s photo has been on the front of MCOHIO.ORG no less than 100 times during her tenure. This week is no exception.
Greg Brush has reached a new level in local politics. He is either using taxpayer dollars to distribute toothBRUSHes for his campaign, or is distributing campaign garbage while acting in his capacity of County Clerk. Which is it?

Greg’s new piece of campaign clerks literature is being distributed regarding new travel rules and passport laws. This public information piece is complete with Greg’s photo. Very nice Greg.
We overlooked the fact that he had been in office for less than 10 days before placing his name in 8 inch letters on the Clerk’s vans. More political advertising at taxpayer expense Mr. Clerk?

Yes,
Every politician of every stripe changes the lettering the day they are sworn in and your point?
I would argue that the Republicans get more free advertising and cover in this town and state than the Democrats. Where do all the Republicans get their cover? DDC, DCC, Sinclair, UD, Miami University.
Keep brushing.
ed note: Yes they do change the lettering on the doors. But Greg added the letters to vehicles that had been previously blank. Most elected officials, with the sheriff excluded, do not mark their vehicles with their names. Are brushes at taxpayer expense okay with you? Is campaigning on county time okay with you? Or do you only oppose it if it is Republicans? Also, don’t point to Republican leadership and success at the heads of the above mentioned organizations as free publicity that is poor debating even for you.

I do not see proof of this accusation in your post. I do not see why one politician should stop pushing the envelope on this “advertising”, as I see many on TV and most are Republican. I even remember Charles Curran (R-Montgomery County Commissioner) cutting the ribbon at an event located in Warren County.
Head met sand as there is absolutely no proof that Republican leadership in the state, local and federal operations has been remotely successful unless you count thievery of the public treasury and marketing that it is a good idea.
ed note: Read the post again. While presenting as Clerk of Courts to city goverments, Greg is distributing his campaign toothbrushes. I am sure when Chuck Curran acting as a commissioner while in Warren County wasn’t distributing his famous brown bags or campaign lit. Greg, while acting as Clerk is doing exactly that with his toothbrushes. Of course, you could be right, Greg the Clerk could be taking an interest in Montgomery County’s dental hygiene.

Mr X. is good as he follows the Limbaugh, Savage, Hannity moded of ignoring the Forest and concentrating on the tree.
Curran acting as a MONTGOMERY COUNTY Commissioner and is being singled out because he championed MONTGOMERY COUNTY WATER being piped to Warren Country. Why are Mont. Taxpayers financing Warren County growth?
Horrors - A toothBrush - with a sticker. You go boy! Get that corruption.
ed note: With Democratic policies continuing to push business out of this town, selling water to Warren County sounds like a good idea. It took ten years for the city of Dayton and the County to agree on Dayton’s water supply. Sell it if you have it. This isn’t corruption. No one called it that. It is simply everyone, especially the likes of you and Bock and Robinette, ignoring the Dem’s using their office to Campaign. If this was a Democrat you would all be screaming. Why hasn’t Dayton OS exposed the County Website as Debbie Lieberman’s personal MySpace page. Why is it that she and Foley and Commission “President” Dodge are in EVERY photo on that webpage?

Look every time Chuckie came up for election his mug would be on some Montgomery County infomercial about Recycling or something, but it was about his mug. BFD on the website, who the hell looks at the thing. Chuckie was using MC taxpayer dollars to enrich Warren County. He is a TRAITOR and you are an ACCOMPLICE - Off with their heads.
ed note: Aren’t all you Democrats for Regionalism. What is good for Warren County is good for Dayton? I should remind you that the majority of benefits of Austin Road are in Montgomery County. The schools get a boost, Miamisburg and Miami Township get new housing and retail, why call him a traitor. The Demobloggers here in this county never debate on facts, just name calling and extremism. Back to the conversation, now that Chuck has fallen, what is Debbie doing besides posing for photos and shopping in GREENE county, or at least frequenting the bars there.

Greg, Why waste your time?
ed note: Because it’s in his nature.

I am for the regional approach as it relates to providing goods and services, but not for paving over the entire Region. I am a Conservative because I thought that meant conserving things of value, providing opportunity for each person’s talents to flourish.
Provide the links about the benefits for all in the Region. This is more of the same investment in sprawl that has lead us into this current housing crisis and eroded the resiliency of the Regional Economy.
The facts are evident, but you either championed this idiocy or are ignoring the obvious facts on the project and how it drains the region of resources that should be invested elsewhere.
I liked seeing Debbie at the Greene, at least she got out and interacted with the populace unlike the other bums who spent their time at the Racquet Club deciding what is best for their friends while laughing at the people that they fleece from their vulture’s perch. Idiots as we hold the results to be self evident.
