Sharon Kennedy: Chim Chim Cher-ee

I was in need of a chimney sweep last week and was told to contact Jerry Methner of Sault Ste. Marie. I phoned him, left a message and that evening he returned my call. Unlike the four plumbers I had called and the brush-hog guy who never showed up, Jerry and his grandson arrived at the appointed day and hour. After three weeks, I’m still hopeful the other men will have the courtesy to return my calls, but that hope is fading as fast as a snowball in a hot oven.

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) The Ohio Supreme County on Monday sided with a county elections board in a dispute over the purchase of voting machines tied to unfounded allegations of fraud in the 2020 presidential election.
At issue before the high court was a rift between the bipartisan elections board in Stark County and that northeastern county’s GOP-dominated board of commissioners, involving Denver-based Dominion Voting Systems machines.
Under a 2018 law approved by Ohio lawmakers, “the commissioners must acquire the voting machines selected by the elections board,” the Supreme Court said in a 6-1 ruling.

Sharon Kennedy may have a great political last name, but the Republican Ohio Supreme Court justice grew up in a working-class home in Colerain Township.
Kennedy has often reflected on those humble beginnings as she s ascended from police officer to local judge to the state s high court. She is mindful to credit mentors along the way for helping her to overcome doubts about being able to make it in politics since she s not from a wealthy, well-known family.
Among those mentors: fellow Butler County resident and former Speaker of the House John Boehner – himself having come from a working-class home in Reading.
