The recent Sandusky Register article “Records a Wreck: Erie County Clerk of Courts Files Overflow Across the Street,” has had some very interesting comments left by readers. We would like to respond to one of those comments.

One of our favorite comments came from “Santownresident.”

Well Santownresident, you should care and you should care greatly since it is YOUR tax money being wasted. We covered that topic in the article “Is Barb Johnson Robbing the Tax Payers?”
As we mentioned in that article, during her first 20 years in office, she has literally thrown about $2 MILLION dollars out the window. That is $2 MILLION of YOUR money. What a waste!

“Innocent until proven guilty. Who knows how and why it went down other than the folks that work there.”

Santownresident, you don’t need to work there to know that she is “guilty as charged.” One does not need to work there to see that she is NOT doing her job. Just walk into that office and you can see for yourself. Go on the Erie County COC website and see for yourself that she STILL does not have records on line. What are we paying her to do? Our “NOTHING” Clerk only knows how to do one thing, and that is “NOTHING.”

"I think people are quick to paint her as lazy. . .”

No we here at COC Watch do not think she is lazy. She is underqualified, has no experience, has no leadership skills, and has no managerial skills to do the job. As a result, she is overwhelmed by the mess and has no idea or clue how to fix it. Lazy, she is not.

“. . .because.....ok here it comes....(the race card)....she's BLACK! There i said it, yea that's right! lol. "

We’ve been waiting for someone to pull the old “Race Card” out. The Race Card ploy is sooo old and lame now days. Not many people even pay attention to that none-sense anymore. We don’t care what color, race, or sex someone is. If you are not doing the job, then you do not deserve to have it. And Barbara Johnson has proved over the past 20 years that she can not do the job. Here’s a little “inside information” for you Santownresident, if we are successful in getting Barb out of office in 2012, then the next government official we are thinking of “exposing” is a WHITE MALE! ! ! (who will remain nameless at this time). Imagine that! !

People that use the race card only use it because they have been defeated and have no other defense to use. Why don't you or any other Johnson supporter comment on one of the "11 Areas of Concern" where the "Meat and substance" of our arguments are instead of grabbing at strings with the race card? Never mind, I'll answer that for you; it's because you can not argue against the truth and the facts that we have on this site, that's why.

You’ll have to do much better than the old “Race Card” trick with us!
