Thursday, June 16, 2005 Ohio's Coingate Scandal is Now Nat'l News Wow... it is such an honor to have my homestate's GOP fuckups become national news: OH's Coingate scandal featured in the Sunday edition of the LA Times. And from the Toledo Blade (the OH paper that got the entire Coingate ball rolling) says this: Repubs in DC and Columbus have left a trail of misdeeds that was highlighted during last year's presidential race. "If Bush collected illegal money in OH, it casts some questions about the results of the election." Oh yeah... the 16 to 18 hr wait in voting lines and voter's rolls mysteriously missing and then miraculously, Bush "wins" Ohio by 118,000 votes. Yeah, and if you believe that load of crap, I'm the Virgin Mary. But what about the MONEY that is missing from Workers' Comp? Well, it seems that now the huge loss may in fact rack up to be $7 BILLION in missing money. That is 1/3 of the entire Ohio state budget. What does Gov Taft say: Taft told Workers' Comp "to give MDL-(the firm that mis-handled the investments)- a break." Taft is as useless as tits on a bull. |
