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.

"Let's see. The democrat liberals VOTED Barb Johnson into office.”

In our article “How Did Johnson Win?” we analyzed the 2008 election and how it was that Johnson won. There were many factors that played into her winning in 2008.

“She now BLAMES her performance on the previous Clerk of Courts. Hmm, sounds exactly like the current president.”

I did not notice in this SR article where she blamed the previous Clerk of Courts. As a matter of fact, I know of NO situation or time where Johnson has placed blame on the previous COC. I don’t think she would ever stoop that low. Her only crime is not having any experience, leadership, or managerial skills to do the job that she was elected to do.

“So HOW long has she been in office??”

She is currently serving her 6th term and has been the COC for the past 20-plus years (beginning in 1988).

“How many times will you miserable liberals continue voting her BACK into office??”

Again, read our analysis on the 2008 election mentioned above. However, not enough people knew the horrible job she is doing, so the “complacency voters” just automatically vote for the incumbent instead of doing their homework. It is our hope that this website will educate the voters by 2012 so they know who NOT to vote for!

“This is about the basic concept of PERFORMANCE and being QUALIFIED to do the job. She had PLENTY of TIME to learn the job and IMPROVE the process. All of you GET what you VOTE for…”

We couldn’t agree with you more. As we have mentioned over and over, she is NOT qualified to do this job. The past 20-plus years has proved that. She has had “Plenty of time” to improve her office, but if one is not in the office to improve it, then the office will never improve. That is one of the reasons why we feel she is stealing from the tax payers of Erie County as we talked about in the article “Is Barb Johnson Robbing the Tax Payers?”
