From the School of "If you ignore it, it might go away".
COLUMBUS - President Bush yesterday traveled to Ohio to talk about terrorism, but he arrived in the midst of the biggest statewide scandal in years and to a crowd of angry "Coingate" protesters.
Mr. Bush's motorcade sped by as dozens of protesters held signs proclaiming their frustration over the unfolding scandal at the Ohio Bureau of Workers' Compensation.
Some examples of the signs:
"Mr. President, Give back all of my money," "What ethics?" "$50 million for how many favors?'' and "Noe raised over $100,000 and you're only returning $4,000? Sounds like fuzzy math to me."
It isn't going away, and check out the link for photo's too. Pro-Active Citizens in action !
State Dems are relentlessly pursuing this issue.
Despite the GOP trying to stack the investigation at the statehouse with republicans, the Dems are havnig none of it and are refusing to take part unless the investigation panel is balanced.
Republicans have proposed a committee dominated by members of their party.
"It's just hogwash," Rep. Chris Redfern of Catawba Island, the House Democratic leader, said in Cleveland. Members of his party, he said, won't participate in a committee that does not include equal numbers of Democrats and Republicans. "Democrats won't participate in a cover-up."
Now why would the Republican party want to stack this committee ? No prizes for correct answers !
