Another day, another republican indicted. This time it's a local. Former Muni Clerk of Courts Mike Pirik was charged today with a felony count of tampering with records. He has no plans to fight the charges and will enter a guilty plea on Tuesday.
Pirik was beaten last November as the cloud of this investigation left the county republicans with only three elected officials in Franklin County. I don't count judges because the elections are non-partisan and they're really just name id contests.
Franklin County has been trending more and more Democratic in recent years due in part to white flight to Delaware County and also due to the fact that the county's East African population has steadily been gaining citizenship.
I have a feeling that Franklin Country republican chairman Doug Preisse secretly hopes that Ron O'Brien fails in his bid for State AG, because if he wins the Franklin prosecutor's job will come to this side of the aisle as well.
