In this past Wednesday's (Dec. 23) Sandusky Register (page A-2), there was an article titled, "State Has Issues With Erie County Auditing." There really wasn't anything damning in that article. In a nutshell, the article was about how an Ohio Auditor report shows many problems with certain monetary procedures used by certain county departments including Clerk of Courts (Johnson), Treasurer (JoDee Fantozz), and Auditor (Tom Paul) offices.
The state auditor is just trying to prevent anything from happening like what happened in the Clyde-Green Springs schools where the former superintendent stole $300,000 from the school district.
However, there was one interesting sentence in the article, "Johnson has still not responded to a public records request a Register reporter submitted weeks ago. The information being sought: the clerk of court's bank statements, information the county auditor doesn't even have."
Could the Sandusky Register be investigating the estimated $700,000 in outstanding court costs and fines? We here at Clerk of Court Watch think that amount is on the low side. We are willing to bet that the cost is at around $2 million or even more.
Notice to the Sandusky Register: Do not expect to receive that public records request - EVER. Why? The answer is simple: our "NOTHING" clerk will NEVER, EVER get around to getting that information to you because she is way too busy doing. . . . . . well . . . . . NOTHING . . . . . . . . . .
