Will Jolivette face a race?
Butler County Commissioner Gregory Jolivette kicked off his re-election campaign last week.
So who will he be running against next year (or later this year, if a challenge comes from within the local GOP, which endorses candidates in the fall)?
So far, nobody else has pulled a petition in the race.
Some say Christine Matacic, Liberty Twp. trustee, may make a run for it. She sits on numerous regional boards, and has lots of name recognition. But she has her own re-election campaign this year, and it would be tricky to run for both seats at once.
Others say Sheriff Richard K. Jones is shopping around for a candidate to put up against Jolivette, who he has had his share of public differences with. No word on who that candidate would be, if this is even true.
Who do you think will make a run, if anyone? Who should?

It’s good that republicans have realized what a mess Greg has made out of county government and want a change. Hopefully no democrat turned republican this time.

Hey Bill, Shouldn’t you be more concerned about your new job in Campbell instead of hoping we get that idiot Matacic into office

Why would Bill be worried about his job in Campbell County. Has idots Rick, Greg and Don moved south and took over there.

Has anyone else noticed Corky Combs tagging along with Rick and Don? Doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out what they will do next — try to get Combs in as Commissioner and continue the good-ole-boys club.
