(VIDEO OF STARK COMMISSIONERS) - A MUST SEE! - ITS NOT PHIL DAVISON BUT IT IS A TREAT


As we (Stark Countians) well know by now, on June 23rd the Ohio Supreme Court ordered Gary D. Zeigler reinstated as Stark County treasurer.

The high court ruled that Stark commissioners (Bosley, Ferguson and Meeks) illegally removed Zeigler from office on August 23, 2010 under Ohio Revised Code Sections 321.37 and 321.38 because 321.38 has no provision it it for "due process of law" and therefore is unconstitutional under Article II, Section 38 of the Ohio Constitution.

Commissioners had removed Zeigler under the permission of the combo of 321.37 and 321.38 for the mere fact that money ($2.96 million) came up missing during the period 2003 through 2009 during his tenure as county treasurer.

His chief deputy treasury (Vince Frustaci) admitted to stealing (June 25, 2010) $2.46 of the amount, however, many believe that he stole the entire missing amount.  Zeigler himself was found by county and federal prosecutors to have had no involvement in the theft.

The sticking point in Zeigler resuming office in other than a limited fashion has been the fact that his bond was canceled last October.
When the bond came up for renewal post-Frustaci theft, Zeigler was able to get a bond.  However, (as seen in the accompanying video in the account of Stark County Personnel Manager Marsha Cimadevilla - it took time).

With the Supreme Court reinstatement, Stark County (the commissioners office) is again trying to get Zeigler bonded.

Apparently, it is going to be some time before Zeigler gets bonded.

In this blog, the SCPR presents a video discussion among the commissioners and Cimadevilla as to the timetable of getting the bond.

It is a must see video!!!
