TweetSheriff backs Carpenter in commission race
Butler County Sheriff Richard K. Jones, one of the county’s most well-known elected officials, recently sent out a letter throwing his support behind county Clerk of Courts Cindy Carpenter in her bid for county commission.
Here is the letter:

I checked with Jones, and he indeed sent out this letter as an endorsement of Carpenter.
In the same race, I recently ran into Bob Weber, who said unequivocally that he was not running for county commission. Treasurer Nancy Nix recently announced the same.
So far, only Carpenter, former West Chester Twp. Trustee Jose Alvarez and former Middletown City Councilman Paul Nenni have filed their petitions. The others who have pulled petitions are:
- Richard (Wes) Retherford
- Jesse Vonstein
- Gregory V. Jolivette (the incumbent commissioner)

TweetTax bills going out tomorrow
Press release from Butler County Treasurer Nancy Nix:
First Half 2009 Real Estate Tax Bill Mailing
Approximately 153,000 real estate tax bills for first half 2009 will be in the mail by February 11, 2010. Taxpayers who escrow with a mortgage company will receive an annual statement, and all other taxpayers will receive a regular tax bill, regardless of balance due. Bills with no balance due are mailed so property owners can see their valuation and distribution of taxes.
The payment due date is Wednesday, March 3, 2010. “The due date rolled into March this year because of an unusually high number of Board of Revision adjustments, and the voluntary 2009 re-appraisal conducted by Auditor Roger Reynolds. Both these efforts required additional time for tax calculation and bill preparation,” Treasurer Nix said.
Treasurer Nix comments, “Immediate access to tax bills is available on our website www.butlercountytreasurer.org for viewing, printing or payment. Select “View My Bill” from our home page”. Convenient payment options, such as direct debit, electronic check, or credit card are also available through the website.
Direct mail or in person payments are always welcome. Payment drop boxes can be found on the ground floor of the Government Services Center, on Court Street behind the GSC marked “For Payments to Butler County Treasurer”, and a payment slot near the door of the Treasurer’s office entrance on the 10th floor of the Government Services Center.
Treasurer Nix states, “For added convenience, there are approximately 70 branches of local financial institutions participating in our regional collection network. Please check with your local bank branch”.
To avoid penalty, tax payments must be received by the Treasurer’s office by March 3, or postmarked with a United States Postal Service postmark of March 3. A private metered post mark will not serve as proof of timely payment as ruled by the Ohio Department of Taxation.
If you have not received your bill by February 22, contact the Treasurer’s office (513) 887-3181.
