The people of Ohio ultimately paid that $4.3M bribe...and more...through higher utility costs. How many more such schemes are running right now? and every day?

Whether you are looking to bribe or receive a bribe how does one land on 4.3 million? 4,333,333 seems such an unlikely number to just pull out of the air...

That's what I was wondering - it sounds as if there was a larger amount divided "evenly" (haven't figured out the math yet) among more than one person. Who else got part of the jackpot?

The brazen corruption! “Whatcha gonna do about it?” they pose in front of us in Ohio. “Vote?” “Hahahahaha...” they’ve got us so gerrymandered and got a OH Supreme Court to back them up for the next ten years! “Good luck, voters,” they laugh.

But their hubris will be their undoing.

We just have to find enough swing voters to either vote for democrats or simply not give the R incumbents their vote. After canvassing in my own neighborhood in August for Issue 1, I think there are plenty of Republicans who are sick and tired of the power grab and corruption. The question is can they drop their tribalism for an election or two so we can oust these yahoos.

So let’s see. Dewine and Husted were not yet sworn in as governor and lt. governor and they are shadow governing in November and December? They should be charged for aiding and abetting a crime. DeWine and Husted should resign immediately. Who’s 3rd in line for governor? Keep on them David.

Hey good people in Ohio, you’ve been robbed and lied to by your corrupt governor and his henchmen, tell your friends. And call your fucking state representative and politely tell them how you feel.
