IMPEACH MALLORY BLOG ENDORSES KIMBERLY HALE

After several hard fought seconds of deliberation, the editorial board of the Impeach Mallory Blog has decided to endorse Kimberly Hale for the Statehouse in the Ohio 32nd.

It was not a tough choice given her opponent. Let’s first take a look at Dale Mallory.

In February of this year, Dale Mallory was impeached and removed from office from the West End Community Council. Dale Mallory conspired to deny his community a vote of opposition on the CityLink Center project. Later investigations by the Cincinnati Enquirer and the Cincinnati Business Courier revealed that Dale Mallory was a paid advocate on behalf of CityLink, and that he had sold out his community. The CityLink case is still in court, and Dale Mallory is currently under criminal investigation.

This is a list organizations opposed to CityLink:

1) West End Churches and Ministers
2) Cincinnati City Council
3) Sheriff Simon Leis
4) Over The Rhine Chamber of Commerce
5) OTR Brewery District
6) Clifton Heights Business Association
7) Brighton Business Owners Association
8) West End Community Council
9) Pendleton Neighborhood Association
10) Westwood Concern
11) Dayton Street Neighborhood Association
12) Klotter / Conroy Residents Association
13) CUF Neighborhood Association
14) Clifton Heights Improvement Association
15) West McMicken Improvement Association
16) Mulberry Hill Neighborhood Association
17) East Walnut Hills Assembly
18) Cincinnati Homeowners Association

The list of community organizations and neighborhood groups that support CityLink still stand at zero. Dale Mallory claimed neutrality, but he was later exposed for being a paid shill for the cause. Dale Mallory was paid to support CityLink, even while he was actively denying his community a vote on the matter.

Dale Mallory was the executive director of Genesis Redevelopment. The Genesis Redevelopment Scandal rocked the West End a few years ago. Genesis had a budget of nearly a million dollars, and they promised to develop over a hundred units of housing. Investigations found that Genesis built only one home, along with giving contracts and doing surface cosmetic enhancements to homes of families and friends of those involved.

As President of the West End Community Council, Dale Mallory appointed the City Hall Hitman / Functionally Illiterate dishwasher Howard Beatty to the Board of Directors of the Cincinnati Empowerment Corporation. Dale also had a hand in appointing George “Junebug” Beatty and Len Garrett to the Board of Directors. As chairman of the board, Len Garrett then gave Dale a “consulting” position reporting solely to him. The whole affair was exposed by the Cincinnati Enquirer, which raised both ethical and legal questions that Dale Mallory never answered. As soon as the news became public, the Cincinnati Empowerment Corporation fired Dale Mallory. That brought to an end his only constructive employment in the last decade.

After Dale Mallory was impeached and removed from office, he filed two lawsuits against over two dozen people. He sued his niehbors, West End Ministers, the Cincinnati Police and the Sheriff. One suit was thrown out of court, and the other was dropped before it followed the same fate.



Months after being impeached and removed from office, Dale Mallory cleaned out and closed down the West End Community Council bank account. He is currently under a felony investigation for that act.

During the current political campaign, Dale Mallory has refused all attempts to answer questions, conduct interviews, or have debates. He has run a silent political campaign. His sole strategy is to rely on the Mallory family name.


On the flip side we have Kimberly Hale, who is a breath of fresh air into the Cincinnati political scene. This is what the Cincinnati Enquirer had to say when endorsing Kimberly Hale:

There's a better alternative for voters in this district of central Cincinnati neighborhoods. Kim Hale, a West End neighbor of Mallory, decided to run after GOP candidate Mike Poast discovered he wasn't really a resident of district. She also was motivated by what she saw as Mallory's attempt to ram CityLink through without debate.

A progressive-minded community activist, she's not a typical Republican but is a very good fit for this district - bright, hard-working, good at networking and collaboration with various community groups.

She is president of the Dayton Street Neighborhood Association and member of the Cincinnati Human Services Advisory Committee. She would focus on attracting and encouraging small businesses, and she has specific ideas on combating crime and on increasing residency in the district. We endorse Kim Hale in the 32nd House District race.

It is about time the 32nd got proper representation. We need someone who cares about the people and the needs of our community. We need someone who can’t be bought off and sold to the highest bidder like Dale Mallory.


Kimberly Hale offers a fresh alternative to the corruption that is plauging the district. A vote for Hale is a vote for change in the way we do business. We here at the IMB both support and endorse Kimberly Hale.
