Incumbent, title agency official square off for recorder position

11/2/2008

In the only contested race in Lucas County government, county Recorder Jeanine Perry, 66, a Democrat, is running Tuesday to keep the seat she was appointed to last year.

With one year in office, the former state representative and Toledo City Council member pointed to her work with new initiatives in the office, such as a postage policy that has saved taxpayers money.

Her opponent is Republican Mary Roshong, 37, who is a closing administrator for Area Title Agency Inc.

She said she would use her experience in the title and mortgage business to find ways to make the recorder s office run more efficiently.
