WXIX 19 on the Auditor's Report on Union Township Trustee, Doug Walker
"A state audit release Thursday is recommending former administrator Doug Walker be investigated after nearly $800,000 in contracts are awarded to an engineering company run by his son. "
FOX19 talked with the Republican Party in Clermont County. We were told the chairman was on vacation and no statement would be available.
FOX19 also asked for a response from Union Township. The request for an interview was not returned.
And finally, FOX19 went to the Professional Engineering Group, which Doug Walker's son owns, off of old Route 74. A request for an interview there was also not returned.

Clermont County Democratic Party chairman Dave Lane says he believes all Union Township administrators need to be held accountable. "They sat by and watched him do what he did
and now they fired Doug Walker thinking they've
done their part to clean up the corruption and
ethics violations in the county. I don't
think they have," said Lane. |

Great
Schools Meet Students’ Developmental
Needs
By Jane Sonenshein, State Board of
Education, District 10
The
complexity of education becomes evident as each
new area of study indicates a new emphasis
needed to help our children achieve academic
success. Over the past six months I have served
on a national study panel for the National
Association of State Boards of Education
focused on the middle grades. Grades 5 through
8, serving our early adolescents ten to
fourteen years old, are awkward because no one
knows where they fit. We have K-8 elementaries,
5-8 middle schools, and every combination in
between. We often seem to think the building
this age student sits in should determine the
way he or she is taught.

But this change won’t happen unless you get directly involved – starting right now.
