Politics in the prosecutor’s office?
Last night’s Butler County Republican party meeting had plenty to offer. Read a wrap-up report of the night here.
But there was one comment that I thought was odd and wanted to put out there.
After Hamilton attorney Tim Evans and Barbara Schneider Carter, a magistrate with common pleas court domestic relations division, gave their speeches seeking the party’s nomination to run for juvenile judge, the floor was opened to questions. Someone asked both how long they had been a registered Republican.
Evans said he had been a member of the party all his life. Carter said she was raised a “Cincinnati Chabot Republican,” and had always supported the party, but changed her party affiliation when she worked for John Holcomb. Holcomb was the last Democrat serving in county-wide office when he died in 2000.
Her statement: “It was expected when I joined the prosecutor’s office under Holcomb that we register as Democrats.”
Didn’t U.S. Attorney General Alberto Gonzales lose his job for something similar? Does the same rule exist under Republican Prosecutor Robin Piper?

Of course! It’s no “dirty little secret.” This practice takes place in every county office. Your politics are checked out before you ever get an interview, and certainly before you are hired. This is another way for the Republicans to make sure they control the county — by controlling jobs and forcing people to vote Rep. Why single out the Prosecutor’s office?By Lila
