"The flyers are an egregious violation of Ohio law and something that looks to be unprecedented in a Cincinnati mayor's race," Ohio Democratic Party chairman David Pepper told WCPO. "We'll be filing a complaint with the Ohio Ethics Commission to identify who is behind them and be sure they are held accountable."
Violating state election law is a first-degree misdemeanor that is punishable by up to 180 days in jail and as much as a $1,000 fine.

An attorney for the Ohio Democratic Party filed the complaint against Baise Quality Printing and Graphics in Columbus, which printed the mailers. The complaint also named Pierce Communications, a Columbus company that works on political campaigns.
The complaint names 10 others, listed as "John Doe," because it's still unknown who bought and created the ads.
Troy Baise, the owner of Baise Quality Printing and Graphics, told WCPO he simply printed and mailed the flyers. Baise has been in the business for more than 30 years.

The complaint is by the general counsel for the ohio Democratic party. N. Zachary West. Is he acting on their behalf?
I believe and assert the complaint was an ethical violation, and should be duly reported to bar authorities.
