Will Joe go?
Joe Lacey
He says no.
The DDN reported today that Dayton school board member Joe Lacey was one of five candidates screened by the Democratic Party as candidates to replace Montgomery County Treasurer Hugh Quill, who recently was appointed to a position with the state by Gov. Ted Strickland.
But when I reached him today, Lacey said he did not expect to earn the appointment, saying he believes Carolyn Rice of Wright State University will be announced shortly as the new county treasurer.
Lacey was elected to the school board in 2005 and has been serving for just over a year. He is an accountant by trade who works now as an assistant treasurer under Quill and formerly worked for Montgomery County Auditor Karl Keith.
Lacey said his commitment to the school board has not waivered, even thought he would have had to step down to take the treasurer post. “It’s just my day job and I was looking for a promotion,” he said.
He said with this behind him, he will refocus his energy on his school board work.
“I thought long and hard about my work on the school board and I’m looking forward to continuing that, especially supporting the upcoming levy,” he said.
