The general correspondence is arranged alphabetically by the correspondent's last name. The constituent correspondence and constituent cases (boxes 8-15) are restricted until January 1, 2020 (25 years after the last document) due to the sensitive nature of these files.

Mallory was born in 1931. Although the son of a casual laborer and a domestic, his desire to be successful and his interest in politics would propel him to the Ohio House of Representatives and to years of service to the community. His interest in politics began at an early age. When only 12 years old, he was reading newspapers incessantly, particularly the editorial pages. This interest was stimulated by political discussions with Dr. R. P. McClain, the second black city councilman in Cincinnati history. William Mallory's first elected positions were as secretary of student government in high school and as president of the Ninth Street Hi Y Club of the YMCA. Mallory attended Bloom Junior High School from 1944 to 1947. In addition to politics, he enjoyed sports, including softball and track, and held the record at Bloom for the broad jump. Mallory also loved to jitterbug to the music of Tommy Dorsey, Count http://library.cincymuseum.org/ Page 2 of 41 Monday, January 13, 2014 William L. Mallory, Sr., Papers - Mss 993 Cincinnati Museum Center Basie, Duke Ellington, Glenn Miller and Woody Herman. As a young man, he worked at a variety of jobs, such as selling newspapers in front of City Hall and unloading freight cars. He was also a bus boy, a junkman, an iceman, a camp counselor, a porter and a bowling alley attendant. Despite being a high school drop out, Mallory later graduated from East Vocational High School and entered Central State University in 1951. He worked his way through college by painting dormitories and working in the cafeteria, and graduated with honors with a major in elementary education. While in college he met Fannie Hardin. They married in 1955 and have six children, all successful in the community. William Mallory, Jr. is a Hamilton County Municipal Court judge. Mark Mallory has been elected to the state senate. Joe Mallory is an elections administrator at the Hamilton County Board of Elections. Dwane is an assistant city prosecutor, and Dale works for General Electric as a manufacturing facilitator. Leslie Denise Mallory is a sales representative for the Ohio Lottery. Following his graduation from Central State, William L. Mallory worked as a unit leader for the juvenile court, as a caseworker for the Hamilton County Welfare Department and as a highway inspector. He also taught elementary school for eight years in the Cincinnati Public Schools. Underlying all his activities, however, was his continued interest in politics and the community. In 1965, he was elected president of the West End Community Council. In 1966, William L. Mallory was elected to the Ohio House of Representatives, the beginning of a 28 year career in the Ohio legislature. Eight years later, he was elected Majority Floor Leader, the first African-American to hold that position. He retired in 1994 holding the record of being the longest serving majority leader in Ohio's history and the longest serving Ohio representative from Hamilton County. In addition, during the speakership of A. G. Lancione, Mr. Mallory was the first African American to preside as Speaker of the House. During his service in the General Assembly, William L. Mallory sponsored or co- sponsored over 600 pieces of legislation. Highlights include legislation creating the first statewide drug prevention program, the Urban Minority Alcohol Drug Outreach Program. His legislation also helped to finance the Riverfront Stadium and Fountain Square South in Cincinnati and created the home furlough program for non-violent prisoners upon their release from prison. In 1986, Mallory filed a lawsuit charging discrimination in the election of judges on a countywide basis. As a result, 14 judicial districts were established, making it easier for African-American candidates to win seats in the Hamilton County Municipal Court. In Cincinnati, Mr. Mallory played a major role in the creation of a publicly owned transit system, now known as Metro, by serving as co-chairman of the Citizen's Transportation Committee. Later during a 36-day bus strike, he and his wife organized a carpool to transport workers and students in the West End to their jobs and schools throughout the city. He also worked to create the Cincinnati Human Relations Commission, which replaced the Mayor's Friendly Relations Committee. William Mallory was influential in locating the Queen City Vocational School in the West End and for creating the first community housing development corporation, which built Uptown Towers. On the national level, Representative Mallory was appointed to the National Highway Safety Advisory Committee by President Carter and to the Intergovernmental Policy http://library.cincymuseum.org/

    DECEMBER 15, 2006 PAY BILL UPDATE During the CCAO/CEAO Winter Conference, Republican Legislative Leaders made it clear there was not adequate support for an elected officials pay bill yet this year. CCAO and other local officials associations have been advocating for a pay bill, particularly since county commissioners and auditors elected in November are scheduled to receive an annual adjustment during the first two years of their next term of office, but no adjustment in the last two years. Specifically, Ohio law provides township, county and state officials with raises in 2007 and 2008 that is the lesser of either 3 percent or the consumer price index (CPI). Yet, there is nothing in the law that speaks to a raise in 2009 or 2010. Ohio Constitution prohibits elected officials from receiving a raise legislatively enacted during their current term of office. Efforts are still being made to see if there would be support for “placeholder” language that would enable the off-year commissioner to receive a raise in 2009 and 2010, should the legislature take action in 2007 or 2008. The language provides that all three commissioners in a county shall receive the same wage, to put it simply. It is CCAO’s understanding that this “Plan B” option currently is under consideration in the Senate, but there has not been a commitment to support it yet by Leadership. Commissioners are urged to talk to their State Senator about this “Plan B” approach and we believe the amendment could be offered to the Capital Improvements Bill, H.B. 699 FLURRY OF ACTIVITY AS LEGISLATURE & TAFT ADMINISTRATION PREPARE FOR WRAP- UP Bills are quickly moving through the Legislature in anticipation for the 126th General Assembly to wrap up the week of December 19; though session is scheduled through December 21st, there is a push to wrap up on the 19th if possible.

  • Interview of Robert Boyce
    INTERVIEW OF HERB ASHER OCTOBER 27, 2003 Q. Today is October 27, 2003. My name is Marvin Zahniser and I’m Professor Emeritus of History at the Ohio State University. And I’m sitting with Professor Herb Asher, Professor Emeritus of the Department of Political Science in the seminar room of the OSU Archives Center. We are here to explore Professor Asher’s recollections of his many activities as a special assistant to the University President for Government Relations between 1983 and 1995. During those years, Professor Asher represented President Edward Jennings and President Gordon Gee. I remind the reader that the years of Edward Jennings as President were 1981 to 1990 and Gordon Gee from 1990 to 1997. Well Herb, tell us about your recruitment by Ed Jennings to serve as his Special Assistant for Government Relations. Had you, for example, worked with your predecessor Bill Napier on some issues, so that choosing you for the position seemed easy and natural? A. I hadn’t worked with Bill but I knew Bill quite well because he had been a graduate student in political science and was earning his Ph.D. in the department. I had known Ed somewhat because when he arrived on campus and faced that budget crisis, I was the Chairman of the University Senate Legislative Affairs Committee and one of the things that Ed Jennings did, was when he had that first major budget crises he really brought the faculty, the faculty leadership, the University Senate in in terms of the discussions that he was having.

  • History Thesis Kinnen
    “The Wild, Wild West”: Historical Causes and Failed Promises of the Ohio Charter School Movement Research Thesis Presented in partial fulfillment of the requirements for graduation with research distinction in History in the undergraduate colleges of The Ohio State University by Kat Kinnen The Ohio State University April 2020 Project Advisor: Dr. Clayton Howard, Department of History Kinnen !1 Introduction: Charter Schools in Ohio In 1992, Ohio Governor George Voinovich issued an executive order to create the Governor’s Commission on Educational Choice. According to David L. Brennan, Akron businessman and eventual charter school sponsor, the commission was not created to debate school choice, rather suggest how Ohio could implement such plans. By this time, talks of educational choice and marketization of schools were sweeping the nation, but this commission was unique. Whereas national politics championed school choice and the privatization of public education for increased parent involvement, community control, or the importance of small government, this Commission emphasized using markets to improve schooling for low income students.1 Republican Senator Cooper Snyder and chairman of the Senate Education Committee said that the commission was just one of the governor’s proposals to make significant changes in Ohio’s education system, following attacks from ‘poor schools’ for being inequitable.2 Voinovich would not officially endorse charter school legislation for another three years, and the first Ohio charter school would not be opened until 1997. The intent of the commission to study charter schools as an equalizing reform measure shows equity to be a primary focus of school choice reform in Ohio.
