I'm proud of my fellow Ohioan, Joe the Plumber.

Ohio Inspector General Tom Charles said his office is now looking at a half-dozen agencies that accessed state records on Samuel Joseph Wurzelbacher.

Half a dozen?! Holy cats.

Boy, I hope OH voters get darn mad about this.

And I hope Joe gets a lawyer and takes the people and agencies involved to the cleaners.

Note to OH taxpayers: Don't wanna get hosed again? Make sure your agencies clean up their act.

Term limits should apply to all government employees.

After the election, Gov. Ted Strickland placed Jones-Kelley on paid leave. The governor said the suspension was for a matter unrelated to the background checks on Joe the Plumber.

How many times can this woman abuse power and get away with it? At the minimum she needs to be fired. And Nancy Rogers should resign.

” The Beacon Journal has learned that, in addition to the Department of Job and Family Services, two other state offices — the Ohio Department of Taxation and Ohio Attorney General Nancy Rogers — conducted database searches of Joe the Plumber. “

Remember Hillary’s “enemies list” and the FBI files??

You ain’t seen nothin’ yet — they can, and will, come after you.....

Term limits should apply to all government employees.

Especially since ethics don't seem to be part of the job requirement.

This will teach people about "Questioning Authority".

Don't do it or end up with a public flogging.

I have a great State Senator. I will be e-mailing him a link to this article and asking him to follow up.

As for Joe the Plumber, I hope he decides to use an entire team of lawyers.

Two things are scary about this invstigation of Joe the Plumber. First, if the Obama campaign had anything to do with this, it just proves the thug reputation was right. Second, if the Obama campaign had nothing to do with this, (just perhaps insinuated it wanted to be rid of this pesky commoner) it proves the absolute insanity of those who wanted him elected and will, as another article pointed out, follow him into the fires of Hell and these were government officials who were ordering or authorizing this and yet it is the same thing as those thugs standing outside the Pennsylvania voting precinct with a billy club.

“He said the national media did not have reporters in Toledo, so the attorney general’s office was helping them out with public records.”

I’m sure the AG office “helps” people (read the media) all the time with public records... What a load of BS!

If one reads the article closely, there are some problems.

First of all, the OH AG mentioned that “they were trying to help the media in Toledo “ but then later in the article, the ‘Rats are bending over backwards to say “we cannot comment on a ongoing tax investigation”

Which is it? And what about the employee who the DHHS director ordered to conduct the search, why aren’t they included in the story?

"And I hope Joe gets a lawyer and takes the people and agencies involved to the cleaners."

Lawyers suing other lawyers; that never goes well for the aggrieved.

Some people should start covering their tracks now, because after 4 years in the White House, the 0 administration will have quite a hit list by 2012.

Not so fast with the broad brush!

FrogDad is a government employee. He works for DoD. After 24 years of honorable active duty in the military, they pay him to teach his area of expertise to young soldiers. Who better to do that?

There ARE valuable Civil Servants.

Jones-Kelley maintains that her agency routinely checks on people who are thrust into the spotlight to determine whether they have unpaid child support bills, are receiving public support from her department or owe unemployment taxes.

What's that all about?

“Thrust into the spotlight” (i.e., asking a question of a political candidate) gave Jones-Kelley NO REASON to look into the records of Joe the Plumber.
