Jim Petro (Ohio's Atty. Gen'l-R) and Betty Montgomery (Ohio's Auditor-R) are involved in a spat. Petro is trying to handle the big 'coingate' scandal and Montgomery wants him to back off until the criminal probe is finished. Not only are these republicans screwing up our state, but they can't even get along with each other. It might have something to do with the fact that they both want to run for governor. http://www.dispatch.com/news-story.php?story=dispatch/2005/10/01/20051001-C1-01.html&chck=t
Franklin County Prosecutor Ron O'Brien is being criticized for his investigation of the office of the Clerk of Courts, Michael A. Pirik. Democrats are asking for an independent investigation. O'Brien and Pirik are both republicans, and O'Brien "has raised money for Pirik’s campaign. O’Brien served on the host committee for a fundraiser."

It might be time for the people of Ohio to look to the Democratic Party for ethical leadership. Obviously, the Ohio GOP is a mess.
