DISCUSSION: GIAVASIS ANNOINTS REINBOLD "CLERK OF COURTS," IS THIS THE WAY STARK COUNTIANS WANT COUNTY OFFICES FILLED?
Was she born to be Stark County Clerk of Courts. If you ask former Stark County Clerk of Courts (now Canton Municipal Clerk of Courts) Phil Giavasis, she was.
Many Stark County Democrats were surprised when about a year ago Phil Giavasis announced that he was running for Canton Municipal Clerk of Courts (better pay; better retirement benefits) on the retirement of the sitting clerk Tom Harmon (now Stark County Commission - seems sorta like a retire/rehire type situation doesn't it?).
Oh well, getting on with the Giavasis/Reinbold saga, when Lawrence Township Trustee Michael Stevens heard of the apparent vacancy; he went and talked to Giavasis to express an interest in succeeding Phil.
As Stevens tells it, Giavasis became visibly annoyed and upset that Stevens would be interested. Apparently, Phil had let it be known through Stark County Democratic Party chairman Johnnie A. Maier, Jr., that he already knew who his successor would be and that person would be Nancy Reinbold (wife of retiring Stark County Court of Common Pleas judge Richard Reinbold). Isn't this getting to be amazing. All these Stark County officials retiring?
So there you have it folks: Giavasis the self-appointed patron saint of Nancy Reinbold. After all, it's her birthright!
Question: Is this the way Stark Countians want their elective offices filled?
