Toledo Blade, of course, has the story:
As a widening scandal at the Ohio Bureau of Workers’ Compensation threatens his administration, Gov. Bob Taft last night admitted that he had failed to include golf outings on his annual financial disclosure statements filed with the Ohio Ethics Commission.The Gov. has hired lawyers, the Democrats are talking about whether Taft should resign or be removed from office.
A source, speaking on the condition of anonymity, yesterday said that Tom Noe, a Toledo-area coin dealer at the heart of the state investment scandal, told him at Toledo’s Inverness Club in 2002 that he was playing golf there with Governor Taft.
To think, it all began with a simple $50 million investment among friends. Absolute power has corrupted the Ohio GOP absolutely.
