Oh it goes way back justin. Jim O’Neal also worked for Ray Kest, who just wanted to get in his 30 years. He is now doing a job he’s not qualified for and wanting to retire and come back,like so many others on the sheriffs dept.

Given that Montalto worked for Ray Kest Lucas County Treasurer, one has to ask. How far back does this cronyism go?

LisaRenee,

The statutes dealing with Sheriff’s sales are confusing and scattered throughout the ORC. However, I suggest you start withe R.C. 2329.17.

I’ll be glad to work with DD Boots as an appraiser for the county. I’ll take the same salary DD Boots wants.

Jenny, I’ve been starting to research this, if you have a specific reference in the ORC or the OAC, that would be very helpful for me.

No Ron, Ohio law requires no training. The only qualifications are that the person be disinterested, own property in Lucas County and be a County resident.
