Apology issued for pre-election comment
GIRARD — Ed Semple maintains that he did nothing wrong, but the Girard Board of Education member and former clerk of council has issued a formal apology to a candidate for law director.
Harry DePietro has filed a complaint with the Ohio Elections Commission against Semple and Law Director Mark Standohar. DePietro said both men have made disparaging and false comments about him.
Semple, he claims, made comments regarding his health that were not true.
DePietro, running for law director, filed the complaint against Standohar, his opponent, and Semple last week.
