You ran in 2006 when Democrats won everything, and yet you didn't even carry a county in this Congressional District. How could you even imagine winning this race? Boom!

The last thing we need is another tax deadbeat in Congress.

Hilarious, except O'Neill isn't rich since he threw away his money. In fact, in 2003 he made the top 20 tax deliqent list in Geauga County! It's funny since I don't see that award listed anywhere on his website.

Appellate court judge is tax deadbeat Geauga jurist owes more than $23,000 in property taxes

Chardon — Appellate Court Judge William O’Neill owes more than $23,000 in back taxes for his South Russell home , making him one of Geauga County’s most delinquent taxpayers, according to county records.

The county will file papers within weeks to foreclose on the judge’s Waverly Lane property, Geauga Treasurer Chris Hitchcock said. O’Neill , who recently announced his candidacy for the Ohio Supreme Court, is four years behind on payments. The unpaid $23,747.13 bill includes property taxes, assessments, penal ties and interest.

O’Neill said he’s in the process of getting a home equity loan to erase the debt.

“I’m not trying to sidestep it,” said O’Neill , 56. “I’m an honest man; it’s just a stupid mistake on my part.”

Voters in 2002 elected O’Neill to a second six-year term on the state’s 11th District Court of Appeals, which is based in Warren. He is paid $117,000 a year to hear criminal and civil appeals from Ashtabula, Geauga, Lake, Portage and Trumbull counties.

The Democrat filed papers this week to run for a seat on the Ohio Supreme Court. He’s seeking to fill the unexpired term of former Justice Deborah Cook, who was appointed to a federal bench.

The judge said his tax problem started with a miscommunication with his mortgage holder, Fahey Banking Co. of Marion. O’Neill said his mortgage application requested that the bank withhold money from his paycheck to make the tax payment. Mortgage papers filed with Geauga’s Recorder’s Office, however, show Fahey left O’Neill responsible for paying the county.

O’Neill signed the recorded mortgage papers on June 11, 1999. Asked yesterday whether he read the legal document before signing, O’Neill replied: “Absolutely not.”

The judge also said he was unaware of the county’s plan to foreclose. A Nov. 21 letter that the Geauga Prosecutor’s Office sent to O’Neill ’s home warned that foreclosure proceedings would begin unless payment arrangements were made by last Friday. O’Neill said he didn’t remember reading the letter.

Hitchcock, the county treasurer, said the county delayed foreclosure for a year after being told the situation would be corrected. O’Neill paid $5,351.75 to the county treasury this year, which wasn’t enough to cover current taxes, much less address the debt.

“He’s been extended far more courtesy than I’m comfortable with,” Hitchcock said.

The judge is among the Top 20 delinquent taxpayers in the county, Hitchcock said. No other taxpayer in South Russell owes more than O’Neill , who also has the oldest unpaid bill

O’Neill paid $250,000 to buy his 2,800-square-foot home in 1999. The county values the property at $277,500.

Ron Burgundy: Let’s go to Brian Fantana who’s live on the scene with a Channel 4 News exclusive. Brian?
Brian Fantana: PandER Watch. The mood is tense; I have been on some serious, serious reports but nothing quite like this. I uh… Ching… King is inside right now. I tried to get an interview with him, but they said no, you can’t do that he’s a live bear, he will literally rip your face off. [to the Panda]
Brian Fantana: Hey, you’re making me look stupid. Get out of here, PandER Jerk.
Ron Burgundy: Great story. Compelling, and rich.

He also needs to learn how to tell the truth on press releases too.

Okay. Again with your theory of bottom up helping the top.

"With a little help from the DCCC or ODP, O'Neill can at minimum force the Republicans to spend a lot of money to hold the seat and just might win turning this red district blue and helping deliver Ohio for Obama."

No. It works the other way in presidential years. Obama / McCain has an effect on this race, not the other way around. No one is going to the polls on Nov. 4 saying I am going to vote for O'Neill or LaTourette and by the way I might also vote for President due to this US House race.

Republicans aren't going to spend money here at substantial levels if any at all other than standard GOTV and a couple mailings. If this seat goes Democratic, then you have 60+ Senate seats, around 30 more House seats, and a 40 state, Reverend style Electoral College win.
