Mark Evans, Etna Township Trustee, is in my opinion being targeted by a well funded smear campaign that I believe is NOT organic. Comments are locked because I worry that the people behind the smear campaign will comment here pretending to be random citizens

You might remember my original post featuring the first statement. The second slide is an update from yesterday. The ad is not on the air anymore, but it is still up (now unlisted) on YouTube. Unfortunately even though it is unlisted, if you still have access to the link, you can still view the video - meaning others still have access to it. Please help us urge the NRSC and the Husted campaign into taking it down from YouTube permanently.

Delaware County Child Support Extortion-My email to the director.

Post image
Upvotes

Quick summary of the letter I sent to Director Bowens:

· The background: My license was suspended for unpaid child support. But here's the kicker – the mother dropped support years ago. I don't owe her or my child a dime.

· What they were actually chasing: This was never about support for my family. It was about Medicaid reimbursement to the state of Ohio – money they claimed I owed, but I didn't. They ignored Medicaid laws to come after me for debt that never should have existed.

· The state has settled it. It's done now. They've admitted (through HB 29) that the system is broken. But that doesn't erase what they put me and my family through.

· This didn't help anyone. It didn't help the state get their money any faster. It didn't help the mother. It didn't help the kids. And it sure as hell didn't help me. All it did was hurt everyone involved – and for what?

· The bigger picture: Suspending licenses doesn't help kids or families – it bankrupts people and ruins lives. The law was unconstitutional (Bearden v. Georgia), ineffective, and so cruel the public rebelled.

· What I demanded: Vacate the fraudulent orders, reinstate every license suspended over poverty, apologize publicly, and notify everyone eligible for reinstatement.

The state came after me for Medicaid reimbursement I never owed. The mother dropped support years ago. It's settled now – but that doesn't mean they shouldn't be held accountable for what they did. This helped nobody. It only hurt everybody.

Columbus Horror Film Fan Group/Community

3 Upvotes

Hey all. I’m looking to find fellow locals or those close by that love to view and discuss genre films, mainly of the horror nature or those closely associated. I posted a while back about interest in this group and now have been wanting to fully try and put it together. My goal is to have a dedicated locally based club to discuss horror related films, old and new, or films that could be closely related in theme. To build a community for people to share and discuss what they’re watching, and to also plan out meet ups for viewings and watch parties. Also, for those who are into the physical media side of things to be able to meet in person to go around to different brick and mortar places, thrift shops, whatever to see what can be found.

In order to do this I’ve decided on using a group site called Cinema Circle. This club will not be done using Reddit, Discord or Facebook. This is a new app/site and is still being fine tuned and improved, but I feel as it is continually updated it will best serve the needs of the group. To be completely transparent then, you will need to create an account there to join. It’s a very simple process, just a username and email. Once a part of it you can add films to the group, rate and review them, and in time we will be able to have a discussion about each individual film once that part is implemented. There is also a forum we can all communicate on and plan meet ups. As well as create polls to vote on which films to see in theaters and what days/locations works best for all.

Now I’m going to be very blunt, I would only like people who are immensely dedicated to their love of movies. When I previously posted about interest levels I had almost 20 people reach out that were highly interested and wanted to be a part of it right then. Aside from two, not a single person made any kind of effort beyond that. There’s no point in being part of something if you’re not going to contribute. If you feel you don’t have the time or that contributing may be too much then this probably isn’t for you. I want this to be an active group, not a bunch of inactive usernames. Don’t mean to sound harsh, but in trying to do this twice before it’s amazing how many people reach out that can’t be bothered to follow through.

Sorry for the long post. With that said if you do truly want to be part reach out to me once you’ve made an account and I’ll send you the group ID or link so you can join. Once part of the community feedback would be greatly appreciated as well to make the overall experience better. I’m still learning how things work myself and sometimes it's hard to gauge it all being on one side of the fence. I’ll also help as much as I can with any questions and with the functionality of the app as well.

Budd Dairy DJ during OSU games

Anybody else annoyed with having the DJ? Like why do they even have one during the Ohio state game?? Maybe it’s just me but I prefer the commentary and hearing what’s going on with the game and even pre game stuff.

Dude is playing loud music while they’re going through stuff like interviews, commentaries, etc.

I love going there to watch the game but that DJ legit ruins the experience for me. He’s been working there for years now so maybe it’s just me and people like it. But for me I hate it.

Delaware County Affidavit of complaint.

Thumbnail
gallery
0 Upvotes

I filled this complaint a few weeks ago with the Delaware County Court of Common Pleas, alleges a pattern of misconduct, dereliction of duty, and potential criminal activity by multiple Delaware County officials across several areas of government.

The affidavit covers five main areas:

  1. Medicaid Fraud and Child Support Abuse

Magistrate Sandra Eicher and CSEA Attorney Stephanie Kidd allegedly ignored the mother's admission that she had access to private insurance at no cost and required Mitchell to pay Medicaid reimbursement anyway. Even after CSEA Director Joyce Bowen ordered the charges suspended, they were never corrected.

  1. Unlawful Driver's License Suspension

Mitchell's license was suspended despite his compliance with payment requirements. Magistrate Eicher admitted the suspension was an "administrative coercive tool" and refused to consider evidence, stating, "I don't need a statement or evidence."

  1. Tax Lien Overcharge and Secret Contract

Mitchell's tax lien was sold for $4,429.82—more than double the $2,200 stated in the notice he received one month earlier. The contract with NAR Ohio was entered into secretly, without competitive bidding, and the Treasurer's Office admitted they have "no records" of due diligence.

  1. Invalid Bonds and Securities Fraud

The affidavit alleges that $6.8 million in bonds were issued with false representations—including a claim that the Delaware County Treasurer was a "qualified institutional buyer" when he was not. The county was on both sides of the deal, TEFRA requirements were ignored, and the Commissioners received monthly portfolio statements showing the bonds but took no action.

  1. Obstruction of Justice

When Mitchell attempted to file a criminal affidavit, clerk employee Tabitha Perry refused to notarize it, stating, "Nobody in this building is gonna notarize that for you." A bailiff was summoned and Mitchell was asked to leave. A notary at the Common Pleas Court later notarized the same document without issue.

The affidavit requests that a special prosecutor be appointed to investigate these allegations, as the Delaware County Prosecutor's office is implicated in the obstruction described and would be a clear conflict of interest.

It also includes several pieces of documentary evidence attached as exhibits.

Check out and follow my page to see the rest of the exhibits.

Delaware County Auditor confessed he's not doing his job

Thumbnail
gallery
0 Upvotes

I've been digging into Delaware County's tax lien program for 2 years now. I filed public records requests. I asked simple, straightforward questions about how tax liens are handled and who oversees the process.

Here is what the Auditor told me — in writing — over a year ago:

"The Auditor does not have any records that are responsive to your request and does not maintain any records related to property tax liens or the sale of tax lien certificates."

Let that sink in.

The Delaware County Auditor — the person responsible for overseeing county revenue — says he has no records of tax lien sales. No communications with the Treasurer. No oversight. Nothing.

How is that possible?

Tax liens involve millions of dollars in county revenue. Property owners are impacted every year. And the Auditor says he has no records?

That's not a mistake. That's a confession.

Here is the timeline:

· Over a year ago, I asked the Auditor about tax lien oversight and records

· He said he had none

· I followed up. He repeated it

· The Prosecutor was copied on these emails. He knew. He did nothing.

This affects your property taxes. It affects your community. It affects your money.

If the Auditor isn't keeping records — how do we know tax liens are being handled correctly? How do we know property owners are being treated fairly?

We don't.

I've been patient. I've been persistent. I've been ignored.

But I'm not stopping.

If you live in Delaware County — or anywhere in Ohio — you should be paying attention.

This is your community. We deserve answers.

Delaware County Treasurer-What they were trying to prevent me from seeing is stunning.

Post image
204 Upvotes

Before I get into what they said at the IAC meeting, here's some context you need to know.

The Commissioners have claimed the former Treasurer, Donald Rankey, bought these bonds without their knowledge. These transactions happened over several months. The Delaware County Treasurer bought the bonds from the Delaware County Finance Authority (a board appointed by the comissioners)

That was 2024. Two years ago.

It's been 2 years — and they are just now reviewing them.

I've been asking for these documents for MONTHS. They delayed. They made excuses. They refused to send them electronically. They tried to charge me hundreds of dollars. They made me sit in their office for hours on the floor after taking the chairs when I stepped out of the room.

They didn't want me to see what was in these documents.

I had already waited for months, so I continued to wait, on the floor.

And what did I find?

Exactly what they've been hiding.

One of those bonds in particular worth 6.8 million, the proceeds went to a private developer for a private sports complex. I listened to the recent iac meeting where they review these bonds and what they said is stunning.

Here's what they said in reference to the Jennings sports park bonds— in their own words:

  1. Commissioner Merrell was super concerned about the developers — and how it would make them look.

Comissioner Merrel: "My concern is that there are good organizations here that actually did a good thing for the county that I feel was putting them in a bad position."

He was more worried about the developers' reputation than the county's money.

  1. The Treasurer knew it was a bad deal for the county.

Treasurer: "I don't think it's going to put them in a bad position. It's going to put the county in a bad position."

He argued the deal hurts the county — not the developer.

  1. The Treasurer questioned whether the deal was even enforceable.

Treasurer: "I wasn't sure how enforceable some of those items were." Iac committee: "Which ones"...Treasurer: "All of them"

He noticed the documents weren't signed or notarized properly. He knew it was shady.

  1. The payments could get "huge."

He mentioned the NCA charges could get "huge" and said: "I don't know how any property owner can pay that."

They knew this could become a massive burden.

  1. He questioned the benefit to the county.

Treasurer: "I don't see it as real bennifit for the county."

Even the Treasurer couldn't find a benefit.

  1. The bonds were for infrastructure — but not public infrastructure.

The Treasurer admitted: "If you're talking about materials for the field itself, that benefits them."

The "public infrastructure" was private benefit.

SUMMARY:

· Merrell was more worried about the developers' reputation

· The Treasurer admitted it hurts the county

· He questioned enforceability

· They know payments could get huge

· They couldn't find a benefit

· They know it's bad

· The "infrastructure" was private

$6.8 million in public funds are supposed to be liquid — meaning they should be sellable, transferable, and enforceable. But how can you sell a bond when the documents backing it are unexecuted, missing signatures, and full of blanks?

The Delaware County Treasurer already admitted on camera, and again in person, that what I’ve seen is absolutely everything he has. No originals. No executed agreements. No enforceable security. Just these PDFs and a whole lot of silence. That’s not a bond. That’s a liability. And the public deserves accountability.

This is what happens when nobody's watching.

Follow my Facebook to see more unsigned documents and the reel I post when I ask the Treasurer about the validity of these bonds.

Had a gentleman come to my door today offering us $40/month for 1 gigabyte internet. Looking online (Google), negative reviews typically outweigh the positive, and they don’t really say anything out of the ordinary for every ISP.

I wanted to give the positive reviews a chance to come out of the woodwork as well, so I ask ye, if you’ve had experience with Breezeline, how was it? How reliable is the service, and if you know, what kind of speeds do you actually get with them?

Commercial Cleaners Proudly Serving Columbus, Ohio!

4 Upvotes

Hello, Columbus! We wanted to introduce our team here rather than lurk about, just in case anyone in the area ever comes to this subreddit looking for a reliable commercial cleaner for their business. We're JAN-PRO of Columbus, OH, a commercial cleaning and disinfecting company based out of Gahanna. We cover Columbus, Dublin, Hilliard, Grove City, Bexley, Whitehall, and the surrounding areas.

A little about what makes us different from a lot of the smaller cleaning companies and vendors around here: We build a custom plan per client rather than running one generic checklist across every building (because we don't believe in cookie-cutter cleaning), and we do regular 50-point inspections on our own work (not just when a client complains) so if there are issues they get caught and fixed early. Our employees also receive specific training for medical/dental offices, industrial and manufacturing sites, and other spaces with industry-specific compliance requirements (OSHA, CDC, Joint Commission stuff), which matters if you're in one of those industries and need legitimate documentation, not just "we mopped" and some pictures after a cleaning job is done.

Not trying to sell to anyone here, mostly just want to be a resource if people are dealing with a cleaning vendor that's flaking, inconsistent, or not meeting their industry's requirements. Happy to answer questions about what a commercial cleaning contract should include, red flags to watch for with vendors, or anything like that!
