The checks have been cut – the money’s gone – and now Richard Cordray says they’ll look into getting some money from Dann and his cohorts? This is nuts – the only time Democrats in Ohio do anything to stand up for taxpayers is when they get caught doing something stupid or short sighted. Case in point below. Shouldn’t have Mr. Cordray, he’s the Democrat A.G. of Ohio by the way, thought about squeezing some $$ from Marc Dann BEFORE he authorized the release of the checks? Nah – why practice foresight….
From Dispatch Politics:
Former Attorney General Marc Dann and his onetime aide Anthony Gutierrez could have to dig into their own pockets to cover part of the $495,000 settlement with two employees who accused Gutierrez of harassing them, the state’s new attorney general said yesterday.
Democrat Richard Cordray said his office is looking into whether Dann and Gutierrez can be held personally liable for some of their behavior as state officials in 2007 and early 2008. Gutierrez was fired in May 2008, about two weeks before Dann resigned under pressure.
