The Newark Advocate Slams Taft

Coin scandal tarnishes Taft years

The governor insists he's not aware of anyone on his staff now or in the past who's violated the law. But we're sure he'll understand if Ohioans will wait until the various investigations wrap up before they come to the same conclusion.

The missing millions concern us greatly and demand an overhaul in how Ohio manages its assets. But the possibility of former or current government officials using their connections for personal financial gain raises even larger questions.

We believe citizens should demand government officials who look out for the best interests of the state's citizens at all times. It's becoming increasingly clear that's not always been the case in the Taft Administration.

And the Blade had a few articles showing just how unconcerned Betty Montomery, Jim Petro and Ken Blackwell were about it all too. All vying to be our next GOP governor. Would anything change under the leadership of these people ? We have our doubts.
