She needs to dedicate her life to something more fitting for her extensive work and goal to raise money for the Obama candidacy. She is more suited to work for ACORN and for Obama’s campaign.

Please remove her and put her in a job that will makeher happy and fulfillher better passion for PresidentElect. She has lost the trust of families in this state.

If she were not protected from several different standpoints (figure it out for yourself), she would have been fired. End of story & nothing new. But this is definitely hypocritical and she definitely broke the law. We have just weathered 8 years of a national republican administration brazenly behaving as if it were above the law, any law. “Signing statements” replaced law, and barely a whimper was heard from the vast majority of Americans.

But the fact that a Democrat governor who got his job mainly due to Ohioans being tired of just that attitude, is doing the same thing and making the same kind of ridiculously lame excuses as bush&company make, should inform anyone who doesn’t already know it… that there isn’t a dimes worth of difference between the major political parties.

Ah comparative reasoning and dispersal of accountability.

It does not matter that others have done wrong in the past. You can address the wrong doing of a person in a specific instance without bringing in the whole history of the world as a defense.

If three other people were fired for doing the same thing in the last three years – is this a defense of this person in this instance?

No, it isn’t. What it is, is a condemnation on the current administration – if – they don’t have the stones to step up and fire this woman for doing the same thing that three others were allegedly fired for by the prior administration.

According to an article in the Columbus Dispatch…three people have been fired in the last three years for improperly accessing taxpayer’s information. So much for the ethical standards of this current bunch.

I believe that at least one law was broken during this intrusive attack on a private citizen. Any bets that the local democrat prosecutor will be charging anyone?

Exactly! And Teddy and the boys and girls who hold statewide office promised to end the “Culture of Corruption”.

Now we see them perpetuating it.

Plus, I think if I keep saying “culture of corruption” enough times, people will start believing it. It worked for the Democrats.

Culture of corruption.

Did I say culture of corruption?

I don’t think any party can try to lay claim to not being corrupt, the problem comes in when you run on a platform claiming you will end it and then don’t. Which only becomes a real issue if people actually demand accountability.

At least it took Republicans nearly a decade to develop into corrupt, thieving crooks! The Democrats seemingly couldn’t wait to get their hands on power to use the system for corrupt ends!

First Dann, now Strickland. I wonder how many newly elected members of the General Assembly will be run out of Columbus before the end of their first terms.

#4 – yup.

This is a snapshot into how our government uses our data. You can be absolutely certain that this is not the only person that this has happened to. This administration will be one that it is safest not to be noticed.
