Controversy erupts over Facebook posting by elections' board employee

I think this says more about the Blade than anything else. To say that a "controversy" has "erupted" might be overstating things.

What the Facebook post actually said:

In no way did it intimate that she knew how Block voted. It seemed more like commiserating among those sad, sad folks whose whole life is which nincompoop gets to run the local GOP.

The idiot should lose her job regardless. Just the appearance of possibly having looked at his vote and posting it online is bad enough.

And I have no love for the Blade.

This whole Lucas County elections board, Stainbrook fiasco, Telb, etc is nothing more than a complete embarassment and soap opera

Lucas County public officials need a good old fashioned golf outing to lighten their mood.

Just another excuse for the Blade to try and make Stainbrook look good, and make a pitch for him to be on the Board of Elections.

You think? ;)

Still... it's smells rotten and the moron should lose her job simply for the lack of respect she has for her position.

What a garbage story for Blockhead to print. It's a good thing Roberta Da Boer isn't around anymore, because then she'd definitely have to write something about it too, and drag this (non-story) out for a couple more days.

It's because of CRAP LIKE THIS, that not a whole lot of anything gets done in Toledo. The Blade spends way too much time writing about petty squabbles, and trying to create a story, where there isn't one.

From now on, I'm going to refer to John Block as "Blockhead." He probably checks out ToledoTalk from time to time.

Others should consider doing the same......just to PISS him off.

And, the employee in question is a Republican, and she is commenting on how shady the Stainbrook central committee members are, and how Stainbrook is a snake. So how unpopular must Stainbrook be, if fellow rank and file R's are criticizing him and his posse? And more importantly, why is the Blade propping him up? It must be because Stainbrook is a puppet that the Blade already has in their back pocket.

If you want to stop seeing shit stories like this in the Blade, then maybe retards like Trish Birmingham Moore should stop creating fodder for it.

There's a bit of civic education that any employee of the elections board should have before getting that job. And ethics. Trish Birmingham Moore posted this on Maggie Thurber's Facebook page. Maggie, let's be honest here, is a little on the ethically-challenged side. If you are going to act like a teenager, then maybe you shouldn't have such a job and in-turn have a job more suited towards a teenager, like flipping burgers at McDonalds.

The only question I have is: did she do it? Did she actually post this, or did someone else do it to make a faction of the party look bad?

There is a Patricia M Moore working for the elections board making little over 11K a year. If this is the same woman, she makes about the same amount as a burger flipper would... I assume. Maybe less?
