Do you want to spend big money for illegal immigrants, forgiving student loans, $20,000 for first time home buyers, false charges against Donald Trump and $600 for items for a new baby. This sure does not seem like a way to get people to work or watch what they spend their money for. It is a way of buying votes. Let’s get back to making America great and fair again. Donald Trump is who we need.
I have known the Washington County Ohio Recorder since 2013. You could not find a better, upstanding, dedicated Elected Official in all of the Great State of Ohio. If you have not met Tracey Wright, you are missing out, she brightens up a room when she enters. And those that know her, know what I’m talking about. She represents Washington County with Honor and Integrity. I am pleased to call her my friend, and even more proud to call her My Recorder Friend. Her door is ALWAYS open to the public. If I were able I would be the first to vote for her. Here’s to RE-ELECTING TRACEY ...
I recently returned to Washington county after a 40-year absence. Today, along with 8 other members of the public, I attended the Washington County Board of Election meeting in order to get myself more familiar with the place I grew up. The meeting itself seemed pointless, regardless of where you stand on the state of election preparation in Washington county or election integrity as a whole.

Every part of our political process in Ohio is usually made by elected officials who are accountable to Ohio voters. Issue One takes that power away from the accountable elected officials and puts it in the hands ...
Fourth Ward Council Representative Erin O’Neill identified and brought attention to a critical community safety issue: improper and dangerous operation of motor vehicles on city streets. Children, pedestrians, dog walkers, tourists, those with mobility challenges and bicyclists all are unnecessarily threatened by speeding, reckless operation and especially distracted driving. Speed limits, crosswalks, red lights and turn signals all seem to be options rather than safety laws ignored by more and move motor vehicle drivers. Speeding drivers on Greene and Phillips have made it ...
The oldest continuously operating church in the Northwest Territory, First Congregational United Church of Christ, the Church of the Pioneers, is showing it’s age. While the sanctury and church proper remain in good shape, the Fellowship Hall needs some major repair. The Fellowship Hall is best known to the community as the site of the Kiwanis Pancake Breakfast. For years folks gathered to enjoy pancakes and sausage prepared by Kiwanians, the proceeds of which supported the good works of the Kiwanis Club. Sadly, in late 2023 a catastrophic failure of the main trusses in the ...
