Bennett is not referring to DeWine or Voinovich as the legislators that have abused their trust.
He is more than likely referring to former Ohio House Speaker Larry Householder and his goons (The same people who wrote the infamous 109-page memo to destroy the political career of Ken Blackwell). Householder and some former aides are under federal and state investigation for possible wrongdoing. The way Bennett is talking, is it other state legislators too? There were many of the state reps who were very loyal to Householder. Some are still in the House. Some have moved on.
When he mentions stuff like "indictments could be forthcoming," (something to Cleveland Plain Dealer has corroborated and that has been whispered among many within the establishment here in Columbus) he is more than likely referring to Householder and his goons, not DeWine and Voinovich. This is something I have heard first hand from people as well.
Even though DeWine and Voinovich have angered many, myself included, they have never stooped to the levels of Larry Householder and his goons.
When I say Tom Noe and Coingate will be forgot about next year, I have an eerie feeling it will be because of this stuff. It is this stuff that I believe Bob Bennett is referring to.
"Bennett is not referring to DeWine or Voinovich as the legislators that have abused their trust."
I know; I was being snide. And I wanted to put "blubbering" and "Voinovich" in the same sentence. But thank you for the additional information. What do you think of Secy. of State Blackwell? He seemed like a stand up guy in the election bruhaha; is he a possible for higher state office?
