So far, he's unopposed. Kenton County Surveyor Jimmy Williams is undoubtedly thankful that state officials won't come after him for giving out Beanie Babies and other fad toys at political and community events. If Mr. Williams had used campaign money, it would have violated a state law. And to the person who turned him in to the state, get a life. Donating some stuffed animals to charities and political functions isn't exactly Asian bagmen holding slumber parties in the Lincoln Bedroom.
County surveyors make no money and have no real duties or tasks to perform.
The complaint was petty and probably politically driven. No wonder some people hate politics, and politicians. At his campaign announcement last week, Mr. Withrow gave the Republicans a dose of their own medicine.

We tried to get him,'' a Kenton County Republican said, ''but he wouldn't come over.'' If the GOP was trying to get Mr. Aylor, that has to mean it didn't have a candidate of its own, or one who could win the seat.
