Delaplane: “No, I will not be resigning”
Opinion by Bob Robinson
My congratulations to Tina Chalmers and her staff for the interview the
Advocate published recently with Melody Lucas. When I questioned why

a fairly hefty condemnation of the Board, specifically Mike Rhoades and
retired Commissioner Terry Haworth, Tina’s response was simple. “We
heard their side. We wanted to give her a chance to tell her side.” Not
sure I totally agree, but she is the editor and I respect her decision.
What the article did was reinforce my gut feeling that there is untold
information that we... Read

| FROM
THE EDITOR... ON THE INSIDE - TODAY IS MONDAY, MARCH 19,
2012 |
I’m
seeing growing support among the state papers for Kasich’s plan to
increase certain energy taxes in return for income tax cuts. There is
still the contingent that would like to remind him that he ran on “no
new taxes.” On the local front… is the Commissioners-Lucas issue over?
Despite unanswered questions, it would appear so. Your editor weighs
in. Also in News: Obstacles await Obama despite GOP foibles; and We Are Ohio will remain active in Ohio politics. Blogs: Stimulate. Obituaries: Leona O. Deeter, Rebecca J. “Becky” Garland, Catherine Irene Thompson. For
