From the Columbus Dispatch:
Attorney General Richard Cordray has beefed up his office’s public-relations staff while neglecting the state’s delay-plagued crime lab, challenger Mike DeWine charged yesterday.
DeWine produced documents showing that Cordray’s 25-employee public-relations staff earns more than $1.5 million a year and that there are at least 11 vacancies among the fingerprint examiners, forensic scientists and others who evaluate crime evidence.
That amounts to misplaced priorities, the Republican challenger said during a news conference at Ohio Republican Party headquarters.
“It’s a wrong decision,” DeWine said. “It’s a wrong priority. My priority, as I have said time and time again, is to fix the state crime lab.”
