As JPod mentioned last night, Ohio’s RINO Governor, Bob Taft is pleading no contest to various ethics violations. His penalty? Meager fines and a required apology to Ohioans. This is part of a larger scandal involving the “investment” of $50 million in state funds in “rare coins” by a GOP fundraiser, of which some $13 million has been lost. The scandals have Ohio Democrats optimistic that they could replace the tax-happy Taft with one of their own. If Taft doesn’t want his administration’s scandals to be a drag on the ticket, he should take one for the team. As Right Angle Blog suggests, the honorable thing for Taft to do is step down.
