Ohio Republicans Are Still Trying to Cover Up

The entire Ohio Republican Party should be ashamed of themselves. Instead of talking about their failures, they are trying to attack Democrats. The Republicans have been in charge of Ohio for years and they have done a wonderful job of bringing scandals and corruption to a new level. They are experts at robbing the public, lining their pockets, and then covering it up.

When the Ohio Bureau of Workers' Compensation had their losses of millions and millions of dollars, the Republicans in control wanted to hide their incompetency from the public. Here is an excerpt from the Fort Wayne Journal Gazette:

The former head of the state's insurance fund for injured workers urged subordinates to be discrete about the fund's $215 million investment loss in the days leading up to the 2004 election, a newspaper reported Sunday.

In an Oct. 27, 2004, e-mail message to the Bureau of Workers' Compensation's chief legal counsel and ethics officer, John Annarino, agency director Jim Conrad noted his worry that news would spread about the loss in a hedge-fund investment with Pittsburgh-based MDL Capital Management.....

...Terrence Gasper, the bureau's former chief financial officer, pleaded guilty in June to state and federal charges of accepting gifts in exchange for state investment business. He is cooperating with investigators.

Don't you think that the Republicans need a new campaign slogan? How about---

The Ohio GOP: Corrupt, Unethical, and Useless

or

Ohio Republicans: Robbing the Public and Covering It Up

or

The Ohio GOP: Still Incompetent
