COLUMBUS — Gov. Ted Strickland Thursday suspended his Ohio Department of Job and Family Services director for one month without pay after a scathing state investigation found she'd improperly mined state computer databases for information on Samuel "Joe the Plumber'' Wurzelbacher.
While agreeing she lacked a valid reason for the searches, he resisted calls from Republicans that she be fired.
"Helen Jones-Kelley has dedicated her life to helping the most vulnerable among us,'' Mr. Strickland said. "She is recognized nationally as an expert in the field of foster care and she has worked commendably for many years as an advocate for children, families and workers in her native Montgomery County and the state of Ohio. I value her contributions to the state and her local community.''
Director Helen Jones-Kelley has been on paid administrative leave from her roughly $140,000-a-year job or the last two weeks.
A report from Inspector General Tom Charles did not find credible Ms. Jones-Kelley's contention that the search of child support, unemployment, and public assistance records was routine. While the inspector general could not find proof that the searches were politically motivated, his investigation confirmed she had used her government e-mail access to assist in fund-raising activities for Barack Obama.

Should have been terminated.
Far less than I wanted, far more than I expected.
A corrupt total parasite is given a one month suspension from blood sucking and engorging herself from the taxpaying honest portion of the Ohio populace.
Compare and contrast with the treatment given to those State Department contractors who nosed around inside Obama’s passport records—terminated.
So it begins...
Give her a medal, expose her finances to the world, then fire her.
How about a lawsuit? Looks like deep pockets, to me!

BullS**T!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
YES! Wish it was more harsh, but whatever. Good for Joe!
This “public servant” makes $140,000 a year? On MY dime? What is wrong here where the government workers make more than the people paying their salaries AND they get better benefits too?
Suspension for a month?
That's really throwing the booklet at her.
Normally I don't like lawsuits, but I'd love to see a mega-dollar suit filed by Plumber Joe.
.
In addition, she should be prosecuted for political persecution and a hate crime.
I’ll bet you any amount of money that this criminal will not lose one red cent of pay. She will be paid once this is off everone’s radar probably in the form of a one-time bonus for some ficticious “project” with no deliverables.
Joe’s information made it into the public record, so not only did someone look up that information, they leaked it to the press.
That part is a violation of Federal privacy law, so if she was the source of the leak she needs to be prosecuted.
Northeast Ohio PING, please! :-)
I think it was just a democrat duck and cover.
