The campaign for Northmont’s combined $54.99 million 38-year bond issue and 1.7 mill permanent improvement levy collected $68,328 and spent $18,259.08, during the reporting period ending Thursday.
Among candidates, the big money locally went to John M. Ebersole in his bid for Miamisburg Municipal Judge. Ebersole collected $22,130 and spent $15,664. His opponent, Robert Rettich, collected $7,261 and spent $3,655 for the reporting period ending Oct. 27. No report from candidate Mark E. Landers was posted on the board of elections web site so it is unclear if he filed by the 4 p.m. deadline.
This is the first time the Montgomery County board posted all campaign finance on its web site at www.mcboe.org.

Greene County
The committee behind the Greene Memorial Hospital 0.5-mill levy raised $25,000 since its last report. The Citizens for Greene County Community has spent $13,382.93 to forward its cause for a renewal levy that would provide funds for current operating expenses including cancer treatment, stroke and advanced cardiac care at GMH and its satellite facilities in Beavercreek and Fairborn.
The PAC also reports $113,108 of in-kind contributions received.
Details are unavailable because the Greene County Board of Elections on Thursday would only provide the Dayton Daily News with each campaign’s cover sheet, rather than the entire reports, which are public record.
Supporters of Fairborn’s levy raised $6,168 and spent $4,752 for twin 4.4-mill levies which will go for police and fire services.
In the Fairborn mayoral race, the Citizens to Elect (Tom) Nagel brought forward $5,889 and raised $6,070 while spending $4,769. His opponent, Angil Corey, did not file a report.
The Board of Elections did not receive reports from supporters of levies for either Beavercreek or Xenia schools. Any group that raises less than $1,000 is not required to report in this period but it is not clear if that is why the reports were not filed by the deadline. Beavercreek schools has a 6.7-mill emergency operating levy on the ballot, while Xenia is presenting a 4.8-mill additional tax levy.
