Where in the world is Josh Mandel?

Imagine that you've been elected to a public office.  People would assume that you are carrying out your duties, following events, attending meetings, verifying work, and fulfilling all of you responsibilities.  That is what most people would expect of an elected official.  Unfortunately, that does not appear to be happening with Ohio Treasurer Josh Mandel.

CantonRep (Associated Press):

Ohio Treasurer Josh Mandel hasn’t attended a single monthly meeting of the powerful but mundane state board that decides which banks will hold billions in state deposits, records show.

It’s common to send a designee to most meetings, but the total absence of Mandel, a first-term Republican, makes him unique among modern-era treasurers.

Meeting minutes, news clippings and interviews by The Associated Press show that every state treasurer since at least the early 1980s has some record of attending the Board of Deposit meetings in person. The treasurer serves as chairman.....

Is anyone else troubled by Josh Mandel's seemingly lack of interest in his job as Ohio Treasurer?  Where has Mandel been? 
-Mandel was in Washington DC doing some fundraising in Washington, DC (see YouTube).
-Mandel was the guest of honor at a fundraiser thrown by the Maverick PAC in Houston (see Flickr pic from 12/6/11).
-Mandel visited Hawaii on June 1, 2011 to meet with friends of Republican Linda Lingle and others (see Hawaii Reporter).

Mandel has spent a lot of time flying to various fundraisers instead of staying in Columbus, working, and attending those Board of Deposit meetings.  I'm just saying.
