RECORDS ON LINE: OHIO'S 88 COUNTIES: PART 5: SUMMARY OF THE STATS

Originally, I was going to use the following population scales: Small counties 12,000 – 64,999; Medium counties 65,000 – 97,999 and Large counties 98,000 and up. Then I realized that it wouldn’t be all that fair to have the Medium county population with such a narrow scale. So I changed it to what you see below. If I had kept it the way I was going to originally have it, Erie County would have been the only medium sized county that does not have records on line. So now with the change in the scale, 3 medium size counties doe not have records on line.

Here are the stats:

Largest County in Population: Cuyahoga (1,393,978)
Records on Line: Y

Smallest County in Population: Vinton (12,806)
Records on Line: N

Smallest County in population with records on line: Fayette (28,433)

Total Number of Counties without records on line: 32 or 36 %

I have talked to a county employee who thinks the number of counties with on line records is higher than what I have posted. However, this is what I have found in my research and hopefully I will update it 2 or 3 times a year. If any of our readers find updates, please let us know so we can make the appropriate changes and corrections.

In an earlier article we took 20 Northern Ohio counties and out of the 20, 19 had records on line.

As you can see, Erie County is in the minority with not having records on line. So Mrs. Johnson, what’s the hold up? Oh, it’s the money, that’s right. Well, we already addressed that issue here and here.

It has become apparent over and over and over again, that she is not doing her job. Her recent report card is evidence of that. She is not doing what we elected her to do and that is to run and manage that office. How can she in good conscious, and in good faith (being the good, nice, Christian woman that she is) keep that position for over 20 years without doing any work, and yet excepting payment for work that she hasn’t done?

To you the voters and tax payers of Erie County, I ask you: Would you pay someone (say for instance an electrician, plumber, auto mechanic, etc.) for work that they never did but were suppose to have done? What makes this situation any different?

It is time that we the citizens of Erie County hold Barbra Johnson accountable for her actions (or lack there of)! ! It is time to hold her feet to the fire and DEMAND that she either start doing her job NOW or retire! ! Enough is enough! ! This tax payer for one is sick and tired of paying people in elected positions to do a job and once they get elected they just sit back and do NOTHING for an entire term. In this case, it has been SIX terms! ! Barbara either do your job, or get the hell out of the way and let someone else do it! I encourage you to contact Johnson and let her know your concerns about this matter. Her contact information is in the sidebar.

Again, voters and tax payers of Erie County I ask you: Does this look like she is doing the job that she was elected by YOU THE VOTERS AND TAX PAYERS of Erie County to do?
