There is no rational mind who does not know why these searches were done. It’s a preposterous proposition that to say one cannot be guilty of wrong doing because you cannot prove what they were thinking.

If that were the case no murderer could ever be convicted – no civil case could ever be decided.

It’s a ridiculous avoidance of acknowledgment and a much needed apology to the victim.

And she needn’t be fired specifically for this, the fact that she was raising campaign funds on the job, with State owned equipment and email svc is reason enough to fire anyone.

Governments cannot get involved in swaying the outcome of a political race. That’s a terribly dangerous slope and one to be avoided at all costs.

The Dispatch piece on Senate President Bill M. Harris demanding that Governor Strickland terminate two of the staffers is also a recommended read. This one point is especially important:

“Governor, we have often talked about the challenges we face and of the need to find common ground…This cooperation is not possible if legislators cannot trust the information we are given from any individual that serves in your administration.”
