With apologies to Senator Clinton and her well-written book, It Takes a Village, I have created my list of people that need to leave public service/office. The following people need to resign/be impeached/never seek public office again:
My Ohio List:
Governor Bob Taft: With so much corruption, mismanagement of state money, and loss of public trust, it is time for you to retire. Either you and/or people you hired have lost millions and millions of state money. The school children, the poor, and the elderly are suffering while GOP business buddies get richer.
Jim Petro: Once you were the State Auditor and now you are the State Attorney General. In both capacities, you would have had to oversee, check, approve, and audit funds and contracts. It is hard to believe that you did not know about the BWC investments with Tom Noe and other firms and the large losses that were sustained with them. Please don't act so shocked about all this mismanagement.

Betty Montgomery: Once you were the Attorney General and now you are the State Auditor. In both capacities, you would have had to oversee, check, approve, and audit funds and contracts. It is hard to believe that you did not know about the BWC investments with Tom Noe and other firms and the large losses that were sustained with them.
J. Kenneth Blackwell: As State Secretary of State, you screwed up the 2004 election, made agreements with voting machine companies that were friendly to the Ohio GOP, and have disenfranchised thousands of Ohio voters. Get over yourself.
Bob Ney: 18th Congressional District: http://www.ohio.com/mld/beaconjournal/news/state/11518224.htm

Do you think Karl Rove might be charged with treason and perjury?
