Taft-Ooops! He did it again!

Gov. Bob Taft (Ohio-Republican), found more undeclared gifts. http://www.wcpo.com/news/2005/local/09/19/taft_ethics.html

>COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) -- The state's ethics board was frustrated when Governor Bob Taft revealed still more gifts he failed to report, the agency's leader said on Monday.
The Ohio Ethics Commission also is checking on two more gifts that Taft received, but executive director David Freel would not give details and said those gifts would also not result in additional charges....

The plea agreement that Taft signed prohibits prosecutors from bringing additional charges on other gifts he may have failed to report.
"The governor of the state of Ohio pled guilty to four criminal offenses," Freel said. "The commission's found that to be pretty significant."

"prohibits prosecutors from bringing additional charges on other gifts he may have failed to report" Are you serious there would be no additional charges? Incredible!
