ACCORDS SCPR A "30 SECOND" INTERVIEW
WHAT IS SHE HIDING FROM?

PILLICH ADDRESSING OHIO ISSUES
Before getting into today's blog be sure to take at least a glance at the first Stark County Political Report (SCPR) blog (done yesterday, LINK) on Democratic candidate for Ohio governor on Constance Mary ("Connie") Pillich.
To summarize, the SCPR did not come away from Pillich's event with the Stark County Northern Democrats impressed with her presentation.
First of all, it was obvious that little preparation in terms of getting known Stark County Democratic Party leaders to attend the event (a mere 25 or so Stark Countians attended) and, ideally, for one of them to stand up and endorse Connie Pillich.
There was one endorsement but it came from an audience member who is not a Democratic Stark County political subdivision official.
Although appreciated by Pillich, the endorsement is not the sort of thing for the Pillich campaign to issue a press release on.
While Pillich did field all questions by the Democratic Party loyalists who attended the event, she only allowed the only media present (the SCPR) two minutes (after having ridiculously asserted that The Report was allocated 30 seconds) to ask objective questions.
What was Pillich hiding from any way? Why didn't her staff try to interest other Stark County media in covering the event?
Connie Pillich does have a long line of impressive credentials (unexamined) which suggests she has accomplishments to be a candidate for governor of Ohio.
Take a look at this self-provided list (LINK) of her biography compiled in her run for office in 2010.
In doing "online" background checks on Pillich, the SCPR did discover a story about her (LINK) which questioned her right to wear all the medals/ribbons she displays with regard to her military service as an U.S. Air Force officer for eight years.
So the SCPR is especially interested in that side of Pillich's professional career.
But Pillich allowed no time for asking questions on the military side of her career which she appears to make a really big deal about in presenting herself to the voting public.
There is another curiosity about Pillich's career as an Air Force officer. One published report has apparently serving her entire eight years as a second lieutenant. Another show she departed the service as a captain.
Hmmm?
Which one is correct?
There is a significance difference.
If one is in the military for eight years and departs at the same rank as one goes in, does that raise questions about the quality of her service? She does say she received an honorable discharge.
Again, the SCPR if allowed time by candidate Pillich would have delved into questions about the medals/ribbons and her "actual" departing rank.
According to the above chart, Pillich (if she was a fast tracker) could have been a Brigadier General at the end of eight years.
Of course, it would be unreasonable for anyone to have expected that of her.
As indicated above, the youngest Olson daughter is a lieutenant colonel with eight years service.
If Pillich had exceptional leadership qualities, shouldn't she have been at least a lieutenant colonel by the time she left the USAF?
Again, since she has made a "really bid deal" about being a Air Force officer, she should be quizzed about what her exit rank was and why it wasn't higher?
Not long ago, The Report did an extensive one-on-one interview with Democratic candidate for governor Joe Schiavoni of Youngstown with "no questions off-the-table" (LINK).
The SCPR made a similar request of Pillich. No response which, of course, is as if she had outright rejected the request. Again, what is she afraid of in having her answers viewed by many Stark County Democrats?
For Pillich to have made the trip from her home base (just north and to the east of Cincinnati) to be seen/heard by 25 Stark Countians is a clearly inefficient campaign practice.
The SCPR thinks it is fair for prospective Democratic voters to question whether or not such a campaign presentation merits them considering Connie Pillich as a viable Democratic candidate for governor.
Even though the SCPR thinks that Pillich does not deserve the time and effort of putting up the videotape of her North Canton event, in the interest of Stark County voters having material assess to Pillich's substantive merits (notwithstanding her aides not having made the highest and best use of the event), The Report presents each and every question and answer between local party loyalists and candidate Pillich.
