Pat,
You're right we aren't going to ever have a perfect rep, but he was a judge making 6 digits at the time. Yet, he was one of Geauga county's top 20 biggest deadbeats, and seemed to be getting some favorable treatment.
IF you want something more recent how about the press conference that he claimed was bi partisan, but lied about Republicans being there.

And the article is from lexis nexus, but you can go to a public library to check it out.
I can't link O'Neill to Bill Clinton, but Bill O'Neill did swear in Marc Dann, and Marc Dann did have two fundraisers for Bill O'Neill. So how about that link?
Take care.

Actually I'm not a fan of LaTourette either, he's too moderate. But I can't stand someone who doesn't pay his taxes like the rest of us.
Appellate court judge is tax deadbeat Geauga jurist owes more than $23,000 in property taxes
Plain Dealer, The (Cleveland, OH) - December 18, 2003
Author: John Horton, Plain Dealer Reporter
Chardon — Appellate Court Judge William O’Neill owes more than $23,000 in back taxes for his South Russell home , making him one of Geauga County’s most delinquent taxpayers, according to county records.
The county will file papers within weeks to foreclose on the judge’s Waverly Lane property, Geauga Treasurer Chris Hitchcock said. O’Neill , who recently announced his candidacy for the Ohio Supreme Court, is four years behind on payments. The unpaid $23,747.13 bill includes property taxes, assessments, penal ties and interest.
O’Neill said he’s in the process of getting a home equity loan to erase the debt.
“I’m not trying to sidestep it,” said O’Neill , 56. “I’m an honest man; it’s just a stupid mistake on my part.”
Voters in 2002 elected O’Neill to a second six-year term on the state’s 11th District Court of Appeals, which is based in Warren. He is paid $117,000 a year to hear criminal and civil appeals from Ashtabula, Geauga, Lake, Portage and Trumbull counties.
The Democrat filed papers this week to run for a seat on the Ohio Supreme Court. He’s seeking to fill the unexpired term of former Justice Deborah Cook, who was appointed to a federal bench.
The judge said his tax problem started with a miscommunication with his mortgage holder, Fahey Banking Co. of Marion. O’Neill said his mortgage application requested that the bank withhold money from his paycheck to make the tax payment. Mortgage papers filed with Geauga’s Recorder’s Office, however, show Fahey left O’Neill responsible for paying the county.
O’Neill signed the recorded mortgage papers on June 11, 1999. Asked yesterday whether he read the legal document before signing, O’Neill replied: “Absolutely not.”
The judge also said he was unaware of the county’s plan to foreclose. A Nov. 21 letter that the Geauga Prosecutor’s Office sent to O’Neill ’s home warned that foreclosure proceedings would begin unless payment arrangements were made by last Friday. O’Neill said he didn’t remember reading the letter.
Hitchcock, the county treasurer, said the county delayed foreclosure for a year after being told the situation would be corrected. O’Neill paid $5,351.75 to the county treasury this year, which wasn’t enough to cover current taxes, much less address the debt.
“He’s been extended far more courtesy than I’m comfortable with,” Hitchcock said.
The judge is among the Top 20 delinquent taxpayers in the county, Hitchcock said. No other taxpayer in South Russell owes more than O’Neill , who also has the oldest unpaid bill
O’Neill paid $250,000 to buy his 2,800-square-foot home in 1999. The county values the property at $277,500.
