Voinovich is a CROOK.

Voinovich approved a $60,000 illegal payment from his 1994 gubernatorial campaign fund to the V Group, an architectural and construction company headed by his brother, Paul Voinovich.

In a sworn deposition, Vincent Panichi, the governor's 1994 campaign treasurer, told investigators that he was present at a meeting when the governor authorized an allegedly illegal reimbursement to his brother's company and former Columbus lobbyist Anthony Fabiano for Waste Technologies Industries (WTI) for hiring labor leader Ray Gallagher, a Voinovich partisan. Allegedly, the money was to be laundered through a third party, the political firm of Mamais & Associates.

On May 7, 1997, FBI and IRS agents raided Fabiano's Columbus office and seized his files and financial records as part of a secret grand jury investigation in Hamilton County.

Thanks for the information.
This begins to explain Voinovich, I think.

I just wonder WHO is behind Voinovich's bizarre, "sore thumb Republican" act in opposition to Bolton? As always, I suspect the answer is at the end of the money trail - - in this case, the oil-for-food money trail. Billions and billions of dollars buys a lot of "influence".
