Montgomery County Republicans seek records
The Montgomery County Republican Party has filed an extensive public records request with Montgomery County related to the county’s failure to properly monitor social services funding.
The party is seeking records pertaining to the county’s funding of Southern Christian Leadership Conference Dayton Chapter and the Interdenominational Ministerial Alliance, both of which lost all funding in the wake of a Dayton Daily News investigation that raised questions about the group’s handling of the money
The county is responding to the request.
Party chairman Greg Gantt could not be reached for comment.

TweetConservative political group launches TV ad praising Portman; Fisher strikes back
American Crossroads, a conservative 527 independent political group, on Tuesday, Aug. 17, launched a TV ad praising Republican Rob Portman, who’s running against Democrat Lee Fisher in the Ohio U.S. Senate race.
The group - founded by Karl Rove, political adviser to former President George W. Bush, and Ed Gillespie, a former chairman of the Republican National Committee - is spending $500,000 for a one-week buy to air the ad on Dayton, Cleveland, Columbus and Cincinnati TV stations, a press release said.
