The Columbus Dispatch reports that some have questioned the City of Parma’s lobbyist deal. 

A lobbying firm employing the wife of the chairman of the Ohio Democratic Party is paid $3,000 a month by the city of Parma, whose mayor is treasurer of the state party.

 But Mayor Dean DePiero, although elected to be the party’s treasurer, is not paid, so there is “no quid pro quo,” said Chris Redfern, state party chairman.
