In case you haven’t already heard, two of our three Franklin County Commissioners are running for other offices next year. Marilyn Brown was first to announce for Secretary of State and Paula Brooks just announced she is going to challenge Tiberi in Ohio’s 12th district.
I wish both women the best of luck. It’s nice to see Franklin County women moving on to bigger and better things. But it did leave me with a lot of unanswered questions about the Franklin County Commission. It took me a few days, but I finally got some good answers.
