Paul E. Gillmor is the U.S. Congressman representing Ohio's 5th district. According to Gillmor's biography located at his website http://www.house.gov/gillmor/biography.htm "Ohio's Fifth District includes all of Crawford, Defiance, Fulton, Henry, Huron, Paulding, Putnam, Sandusky, Seneca, Van Wert, Williams and Wood counties, and parts of Ashland, Lucas, Mercer and Wyandot counties." However, Gillmor lives in the city of Dublin, which is in Franklin County, Ohio. Gillmor and his wife, Karen, have a home in Dublin which they bought in 1996 for $364,900. With the new updated 2005 values, the house is now worth an extimated $461,000+. http://www.co.franklin.oh.us/auditor/
Update: I also checked with the Franklin County Clerk of Courts http://www.fcmcclerk.com/Pa/pa.htm website and found that Paul E. Gillmor had a traffic ticket. When he got his ticket, he listed an address in Old Fort, Ohio (Seneca County). That same address is the address of Paul M. Gillmor, Paul E. Gillmor's adult son. Where do you think he spends most of his time--- in a small house, with his son in Old Fort, Ohio, or in a fancy 3500 square foot home in Dublin, Ohio? You can draw your own conclusions.
According to the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services news release http://jfs.ohio.gov/releases/unemp/UnempPressRelease.htm
here is the unemployment rate for each of the counties he represents: all of Crawford 6.3%, Defiance 6.8%, Fulton 6.4%, Henry 6.6%, Huron 6.8%, Paulding 5.7%, Putnam 4.8%, Sandusky 5.9%, Seneca 6.4%, Van Wert 5.5%, Williams 7.1% and Wood 6.1% counties, and parts of Ashland 5.2%, Lucas 7.0%, Mercer 3.9% and Wyandot 7.3%. Amazing! Do you think if he spent more time near his constituents he'd be able to understand the problems associated with high unemployment? I'm just asking.
