Householder stays put

What a tease


Former Ohio House Speaker Larry Householder flirted with the idea of running for the Ohio Senate seat being vacated by term-limited Sen. Jay Hottinger of Newark, but finally decided against it.

After doing some polling, Householder dashed speculation today that he might try to return to the General Assembly while FBI and IRS agents continue to investigate pay-to-play allegations against him. Instead, he took out a petition to run for re-election as Perry County auditor.

That won't necessarily be a cakewalk. Householder will face Mike Heavener, a former Perry County commissioner and county GOP chairman, in the primary.

Democrats vying for the office are Bill Crane, whom Householder defeated by 277 votes in 2004, and Teresa Stevenson, one of Householder's employees in the auditor's office.
