During a debate last night at Temple Shalom (full video should be forthcoming), Phil Heimlich characterized himself as a compassionate leader.  However, when asked a simple yes-or-no question, Heimlich resorted to petty personal insults and attacks.  What does Heimlich’s behavior betray about the true nature of his character?  What should we make of his inability to answer a straightforward question?  Does Phil Heimlich have something he wants to keep secret?

The Question’s Background

A few weeks ago, Don Veinot, president of a regional apologetics ministry, issued an open letter to the International Association of Character Cities (IACC), asking whether Phil Heimlich had ever received commissions.  (Read more about that story here.) Mr. Veinot is still waiting on a response from the IACC concerning his records request.

However, the IACC has a history of lining the pockets of politicians.  Out in Arizona, State Treasurer David Petersen was found taking commissions while using political office to promote the Character First! agenda (source). 

The story has stayed alive, and just a few days ago this appeared in Oklahoma (online article requires web registration—try http://www.bugmenot.com ).  Here is an excerpt:

People are starting to ask questions about the monetary relationship between elected leaders and the Character Cities.  Why not ask Phil Heimlich directly?  The questions are not at all unique to Cincinnati and to The Cincinnati Beacon.

The Question

Below, watch for yourself this video footage of Phil Heimlich behaving badly.  Instead of answering a perfectly simple and timely question, he decides to insult me!  And this is right after he characterized himself as compassionate during the forum at the temple!

Here is a quick link to the 49 “Character Qualities” advanced by the IACC and it’s affiliated programs.  In the video footage, I think Heimlich has violated all of the following:  Benevolence, Compassion, Discretion, Forgiveness, Generosity, Gentleness, Honor, Hospitality, Humility, Meekness, Responsibility, Self-Control, Tolerance, Truthfulness, Virtue, and Wisdom.

Cronyism

Phil Heimlich’s behavior strikes me as strangely similar to a recent email exchange I had with Kimball Perry.  I have always thought there is a fishy relationship between Heimlich and Perry, and now the connection seems even more likely.

I wrote the following letter to Perry on August 4th:

Here is the off-topic email I received as a response, just a few minutes later:

There are many reasons as to why a family may experience financial hardship.  However, without getting into the details of my personal life (and please notice, I have not gotten into the details of Phil Heimlich’s personal life—asking questions about Rebecca, or little Henry, for example), suffice it to say that my house was not foreclosed.  I experienced a personal financial situation (utterly unrelated to my status as either employed or unemployed), and it has since been resolved.

The Auditor’s web page is confusing in regards to whether I have paid my property taxes or not.  I know that I issued a full payment about one week late this summer.  When I called the County, I was given an amount that was less than the amount my mortgage company issued through escrow.  A few weeks later, however, the County site showed that I owed one penny.  Then, a few weeks after that, the amount changed again.  (The site does come with a disclaimer that the information displayed may be inaccurate, and I am working to get paper documentation from the County.)

I mention these things because comments will bring them up anyway.  However, what bearing it has on whether Phil Heimlich has accepted commissions from the IACC or its affiliates is beyond comprehension.

Conclusion

The IACC story has stayed alive for months, and people are starting to ask questions around the country about whether politicians have received commissions or not.  Therefore, I decided to ask Phil Heimlich directly.  Instead of saying either “yes” or “no”—getting in front of the truthfulness of the situation—he resorted to petty personal attacks. 

Is this the character of someone who deserves to be in office?

   Keep these videos coming. The more people that see the real Phil Heimlich, the better for the county. Just like in your video, keep this crook headed out the exit door.

   P.S. Suggested theme for the tent party: “Privitize Phil.”

   Job loss in Ohio is the worst in the country, and Hamilton County suffers from a high rate. But Heimlich thinks that it’s hilarious to try to mock the Dean, because Heimlich thinks the Dean is out of work.

   Heimlich is hopelessly out of touch with real people’s lives. He’s also a bully. I noted the classic bully moment when he tried to pull in his campaign worker to second his jeers. 

   Scratch a bully and you’ll find a coward. Now we’ve now seen Heimlich running away from the Dean in two seperate clips.

   Heimlich’s answers seemed like he was prepared in advance, perhaps by Chris Finney.

   “Now Phil, if the Dean asks you anything, make sure you trash him using this personal stuff I dug up....”

   Heimlich’s manner was like President Chimp when he’s very proud of himself for mastering a talking point his handlers gave him.

   Heimlich’s got nerve trying to put down someone for being in foreclosure considering that he lost his first house because of financial hardship. From this page on his campaign website:

   Phil first developed his strong law enforcement credentials after graduating with distinction from Stanford University in 1975 and receiving his J.D. from the University of Virginia Law School in 1979. Phil served as Assistant Hamilton County Prosecutor from 1984 until he ran for city council in 1993.

   Notice the gap from 1979-1984? Heimlich was running a real estate company called Sunrise Investments using his father’s money. More on Sunrise here.

   Heimlich ran the company into the ground. Maybe that’s why he’s x’d it off his resume. But that’s not my point.

   Because of the Sunrise failure, Heimlich was in financial arrears which led to him losing his own house at the time at 6931 Paddison Road. He then moved into his parent’s house where he lived until he decided to run for council, then moved out to an apartment. (Might not look so impressive for a 40 year old candidate to be living with his mommy and daddy.)

   Heimlich lost his own house but now attempts to humiliate someone else for the same reason. Is projection one of his “character” traits?

    While I agree that Phil’s demeanor is overly inappropriate I think that the Dean is also acting unprofessionally.  I understand that he won’t answer your questions either by email or face to face, but to conduct the “interviews” as you do makes me question your integrity as a reporter.

    Phil is a bum as we see in your videos, and I do not plan on voting for him.  I might not even vote for Pepper either.  Right now it seems that only the issues dealing with minimum wage, gambling, smoking, etc. are the ones I will vote for.  The problem isn’t necessarily one that is Heimlich, but rather our shallow pool of candidates to choose from.  The only person who ran against Pepper was Dumas and she got smashed.  Politics in this city are ruined.

    Maybe if you conducted your interviews a little bit more professionally you could reach a wider base of people.  Not many people like to watch a video like that.  It is pretty silly to watch two grown men take petty stabs at each other.  Why don’t you shoot a more professional video and send it into one of the major news channels.  Maybe they will air it, or maybe another campaign can pick up the videos and try to push the issue.  But how you film these only appeals to the small amount of people who visit your site.  If you were to be a better reporter, whose job it is to report the news and educate people, then do a better job with these “interviews.” Send them out to more people who can actually watch more than 5 seconds of this before saying these guys are both douchebags.

    i think you ought to splice two questions from the debate posed by amos
    1) what are you doing about the record setting high foreclosure rate in cincinnati, and
    2) what are you doing about the high jobless rate
    put inhis realrespnse to these issues.
    i think heimlich offered you a job on his campaign - i think i would take it -
    call his bluff
    asto kimball’s comments - oh my, with theenquirer name on it too… geez…
    overall, heimlich came to this debate totally unprepared( at least ihope that’s why helooked so bad)
    what an idiot
    he thumped his bible at the beginning and at the end and when asked questions - not a single answerwasconsistent withthe bible’s teachings

    Whazzup in Cincinnati ... is this a joke? Found it blogging last night ...
    

    All the Democrats reading this blog can relax. I am a lifelong Republican and I have never seen so much apathy and finger-pointing at each other from my side. At the local level. At the county level. At the state level. And from what I can read, the national level.

    It’s over. Our side has lost the fight. The recriminations and planned purgings are already beginning. The finger-pinting and Monday moring Quarterbacking is absurdly high for the second week of November.

    Get used to it: Governor Strickland, Congressman Cranley, State Reps Connie Pillich and Brent Gray (and I think Brinkmand and Schuler are going down too) and Commissioner Heimlich.

    The recriminations will lead to a blood-letting so severe that Republicans have no hope of electing anyone to Cincinnati City Council next year. City races in Madeira, Sharonville, and perhaps even Blue Ash are in jeopardy. I expect many townships, particularly Springfield and Colerain, to go Democrat in 2007.

    The Hamilton County Republican Party as we know it is coming to an end because of the incompetence, corruption, arrogance and greed of some of the people who used to be my closest friends.

    The ones going to the unemployment line are lucky: at least they aren;t going to prison.

    "While I agree that Phil’s demeanor is overly inappropriate I think that the Dean is also acting unprofessionally.”

    Joe’s mamma, first of all the Dean doesn’t get paid for the work he does. Feel free to contribute!

    “I understand that he won’t answer your questions either by email or face to face, but to conduct the “interviews” as you do makes me question your integrity as a reporter.”

    How else do you suggest he conducts the interviews? I’m sure he’s open to suggestions and contributions! He asks legitimate questions. He didn’t ask Phil if he still did cocaine or was that really him in the gay bars down in Lexington.(Or was it Louisville?)

    “It is pretty silly to watch two grown men take petty stabs at each other.”

    You saw one man (a citizen/reporter)ask what’s supposed to be a public servant if he’d taken money from an organization he’s known to be connected with. Heimlich is the only one that was acting unprofessional.

    “Maybe if you conducted your interviews a little bit more professionally you could reach a wider base of people.  Not many people like to watch a video like that.”

    If Phil would answer a simple yes or no question he wouldn’t get followed to his car. If Phil would’ve answered any of the reporters questions via email he would’ve not even bothered to show up in the first place. He does have a full time job. Besides, the video just went up and will be watched a lot. The Beacon has a lot of readers, politicians and media alike.

    The national limelight shines Oct. 2nd at Xavier and anyone can go.  You’ve got the #1 progressive/spiritual campaign in the entire country convening on a forum that will host all the people that get scrutinized and more or less rightfully ridiculed on a daily basis here at this web site.  We will see afterwards where your hearts and character really stand.  Daily visitors here could rally and protest outside.  Will you?  YOu even have the chance to hold the candidates publicly accountable without them ignoring you.  Will you speak up?  If I were these candidates getting ready to speak at this event I would be holed up in my office until then, veraciously studying and preparing - doing some deep soul searching.  Because if they don’t and people turn out, demonstrate and ask all the tough, bold questions, then they will fail miserably.  Some of you are just extensions of the candidates but some of you are not.  I hope the people who cut through all the regular talking points show up and voice their conscience.

    Joe’s Momma’s comments might be worth something if the professional journalists in town were doing their job. Obviously they’re not - and it’s not principally the fault of the reporters. Even good reporters who are making their living in local media can be heard grinding their teeth because of the miserable management of their organizations. That’s across the board for all the major papers and stations in town. 

    JoMama, you should get down on your knees and say thanks to the Dean, CityBeat, and their equally underfunded ilk for going after the Phil Heimlichs and Chris Finneys.

    Better yet, just get down on your knees.

    Who cares if the Dean gets paid to do this or not? He puts information out in the form of a publication for the public to peruse.  The tired argument of “if you don’t like it don’t read it “ is silly.  If you only want peopel to comment that agree with ‘The Dean’ the this would be a more of a support group than a place where divergent views can collide.  Joe Mammas contribution was his letter.

    Jason had followed Heimlich out to his car -how polite does Heimlich have to be? If Kimball Perry had published his response to The Dean in the paper or If Heimlich had made personal attaches about Jason in his speech during a Q & A you might have a point.  But these were personal/ private conversations (which Jason chose to make public) They were rude responses, but really is Jason all that polite?

    Part of The Dean’s schtick is to needle people- he can’t be too shocked when someone needles him in return.  Jason you seems a little whiney and bitchy in this post.

    To really understand the video, watch the progression.  First, I ask a straightforward question that relates to a possible emerging national story.

    Instead of saying yes, or no, Phil decided to make a personal attack.  That he did so with a delicious smile on his face is even more troubling—given the fact that he was asked about foreclosures in Ohio, and that he told everyone how compassionate he is.

    I didn’t even realize Justin had the camera running until we were outside.  Phil said he would answer my question when I answered his.  I answered his.

    Was I a bit shocked, thrown for a loop, angry and outraged and all kinds of things all at once?  You bet.  Could I have handled myself differently?  Absolutely.  I’m learning as I go. 

    I really didn’t expect Phil to go there.

    But here’s the bottom line:  I did not ask the question because I thought it would turn into the sequel for the Blue Ash piece.  (Hell, at the Blue Ash event I didn’t know he would run away like a child, either!) I asked the question because I think he should answer simple inquiries.

    Shame on him for acting like he did.

    Sorry if my reaction to his personal attack was not as circumspect as ideally possible.

    "Who cares if the Dean gets paid to do this or not?”

    Joe’s mamma said he was being unprofessional, yet acknowlodges that Phil won’t answer his emails. I asked how JM suggests it should be handled and pose the same question to you.

    It amazes me that ‘the Dean’, a fictional character that provides a free service, is held to a higher standard than “professional” journalists. The bottom line is that it doesn’t seem “professional” because none of the so called “professional” journalists have the balls to do it. I guess Mike Wallace was acting “unprofessional” all those years on 60 minutes.

    Yes, I do think if you want more “professional” journalism you should give some constructive criticism and a contribution along with it! Feel free to have you’re view collide with mine. (Just appreciate the fact that the Dean provides this free service!)
    
    “He puts information out in the form of a publication for the public to peruse.”
    Oh Yeah,Thanks Dean!

    “Joe Mammas contribution was his letter.”
    Joe Mammas comment was unprofessional.

    “Jason had followed Heimlich out to his car -how polite does Heimlich have to be?”

    That was after he ignored his question,(not to mention an infinite number of emails) insulted him, lied and said he was going to answer his question and then insulted him again at a public forum in the heat of a campaign. Did you miss that?

    “If Kimball Perry had published his response to The Dean in the paper or If Heimlich had made personal attaches about Jason in his speech during a Q & A you might have a point.”

    WTF? I don’t even know what you’re trying to say.

    “But these were personal/ private conversations (which Jason chose to make public)”

    The Dean asked them questions on the record in a professional way. Dimball Perry and Phil were both being unprofessional and making the personal attacks.

    “They were rude responses, but really is Jason all that polite?”

    Yes they were rude and unprofessional. Is Jason polite? I think so, asking tough questions of those in power isn’t rude, it’s what’s required in a democracy.

    A few people don’t seem to understand that the balance of power involved between an elected official and a private citizen requires that the elected official show some professionalism and restraint when he’s confronted by critics. That means that the official doesn’t get to unload on constituents, no matter how annoyed he may be. It’s understood that the job confers power and the expectation that the official has some self control. If he doesn’t want to answer questions, he should simply refuse to answer or leave.

    I used to live in another city where a very determined local eccentric made appearances at every city council meeting and tried to highjack the proceedings with off-topic speeches. Even though the mayor and council members were impatient and tired of him, they never, ever just laid into him with insults- nor should they have. The council members knew that to do so would be to use the power of their office improperly.

    The video the Dean uploaded is revealing because it shows that Heimlich is unable to control his temper and has some impulse control problems. Heimlich also revealed how threatened he feels by the Dean and this blog.

    You also have to marvel at the utter stupidity of a politician who would act that way on camera. Congrats, Heimlich. You’ve had your “macaca” moment!

    I think that this conclusively proves that Heimlich, Finney, Perry et al not only read the Beacon regularly but that they are also the ones leaving negative comments and launching personal attacks on you and the Beacon. We already knew that ‘f’/’formerly f’ is slimeball attorney Chris Finney, but Phil let the cat out of the bag about the rest of the gang.

    All of the area ‘powers that be’ not only read the Beacon but many of them write articles for it regularly. You can bet that this fact burns the collective asses of our local gang of right wing wackos. Don’t tell them where you work Dean, no matter how much they chide you; it would only result in your being harassed at you place of employment, and no one deserves that. Except Heimlich, Finney, Perry, Callinan & co of course!!

    I don’t know how I would react to you interviewing me, but I know how Heimlich should react - calm, cool and courteous.  If you ever want to see a person’s true colors, observe them under pressure.  Heimlich’s viciousness was certainly front and center.

    He is a politician and this is an election year, so he should know better.  Oh well, it’s not like he was going to beat Pepper, but damn, this really sealed it.

    Well thank you for your comments on my comments.  I don’t think you quite understand what I was going for.  When Phil started attacking dean’s stuff the Dean should have just answered the questions then immediately got back to his stuff.  Yes I saw Phil walk away and start talking to others.  The Dean should have been more patient I guess.  The Dean really only started to lose his professionalism when he started laughing and stuff towards the end.  Believe me I appreciate what the Dean does.  I understand that you didn’t know that the camera was on, but any good reporter should always act like the camera is on because like you pointed out you never know when it is on.

    Another thing is that the record of that address is still there.  The links timing has expired or something that is why there is an error message.  go to hamiltoncountyauditor.org and do property search.  type in the property and then click transfer.  Phil is still there.

    Heimlich didn’t lose the Paddison Rd. house in foreclosure. Sunrise owned many properties, he was in over his head, and he didn’t know what he was doing. He didn’t take care of business. It was failing fast, so his father took the business away from him and sold off the properties. It was the father’s money that had bankrolled it. Phil then had to sell his Paddison Rd. house because he had no income. Then he moved back home with mommy and daddy. Want to verify? Ask him yourself.

    Subsequently, Heimlich got a job as an asst. prosecutor, a common entry point for those interested in a political career. Word is that he was not well-liked by others in the prosecutor’s office.

    Keep in mind that as Heimlich champions privatization for everything, he’s never held a job in the private sector. Heimlich never worked at a private law firm. First he leeched off his family. Since then he’s been living off the taxpayer’s dollar, first as an asst. prosecutor, then as a public official.

    Why should Heimlich hate the public sector? He’s been feeding off of it for his entire career.

    Thanks, #43, for the clarification.

    I find it hilarious that Phil had to move back in with his parents at such an old age!

    Sorry if my reaction to his personal attack was not as circumspect as ideally possible.

    Have to agree with you on this one !

    The piece was humorous, but, you need a move from the playbook:

    “When you make a touch down - Act like you’ve been there before !”

    Mallory does not hide where he lives.  (I mean, he does not hide that he lives with his parents, though he might hide that it’s in Mt. Airy not Dayton Street.)

    "is that funnier than Mallory living at home or just the same amount of funny?”

    Actually Finney it’s as funny as you and Heimlich transferring the properties that you jointly own via 3 Centurions into you Wife’s names to provide some political cover for Phil.

    Fucking hilarious.

    "When Phil started attacking dean’s stuff the Dean should have just answered the questions then immediately got back to his stuff.”

    Joe’s mama, what video are you watching? That’s exactly what the Dean did. He shouldn’t have bothered with Phil’s irrelevant personal attack/question. The Deans not being paid by the taxpayer and isn’t running for office. The Deans question was legitimate and Phil was just being Phil/an asshole.

    “Yes I saw Phil walk away and start talking to others.  The Dean should have been more patient I guess.”

    He didn’t interupt the person that caught Phil’s attention. He waited for Phil to start running away like a little girl.

    “The Dean really only started to lose his professionalism when he started laughing and stuff towards the end.”

    Once again, the Dean is a citizen and Phil is the only one who was unprofessional and impatient. Why do you keep pretending the Dean was unprofessional when it’s clear that Phil wasn’t just being unprofessional, but a complete and total fucking asshole. That’s the issue!

    I, too, grow a bit weary of the Finney comments, since they just repeat themselves and don’t say anything new…

    Besides giving yourself away with the constant bold/italics, your IP matches “Freedom Fighter’s.” Or should I just start figuring to call you Michael Dalton?
    I still await a reply from formerly f.

    <b>Close, but no cigar !

    Mr. Dalton did take a hit for the cause and he ownes the server host of the domain name of the website that Freedom Fighter links to, but, you are way off base !

    Freedom Fighter has become so obsessed with the Dean that he has morphed into a certified nut case. Please seek some professional help FF.

    We have all caught on to Team Heimlich and the rest of the boys. Yeah that is what you are BOYS. So pack up your toys and go home;that is if there is one after 3 Centurions are standing,and then take all that $ that you have made from your fundraisers and live on that since Phillie has never had to have a real job! Go Home and See you on Beechmont Ave Boys! And some of us do remember the Badland days as well so you don’t have to remember Louisville or Lexington. Boys with big bad toys. My tax dollars.
