Noe Put Coin Money in Private Acct then to GOPers

ToledoBlade: A Blade examination of the accounting records from Noe’s $50 million rare-coin venture shows a pattern of large sums of money moving from the coin funds to his personal business acct before bankrolling various GOP candidates and causes w/ contributions and loans. The GOPers ranging from Pres Bush to Sen George Voinovich and Gov Bob Taft down to the Lucas County Auditor. Read the whole article... the level of corruption is stunning. And of course, OH Dems have put forth a reform that would try to clean up corruption, limit the amount of money that can be given to campaigns, and also allow the forfeiture of assets held by a defendant when a crime is committed, instead of when the defendant is indicted, but the OH GOP has said that they would prefer to wait until the Noe's investigation is over. Wow. How convenient.
