He faces up to six months in jail, a $1,000 fine, or both for each violation.
Who?
His grandfather would be ashamed.
Thanks for pointing this out. I'll be sure to note it in my log.

The current GOP governor of Ohio, who should resign immediately, having done more than enough damage.
Where did you hear this, and can you link to it?
Ohio Gov. Bob "Shaft" Taft (RINO).
Earlier today, the Columbus Dispatch was carrying it as breaking news. www.dispatch.com
What did he do? Besides turn Ohio into one of the most heavily taxed states in the Union, that is.
I heard it on WHIO-1290 breaking news update on the radio.
(steely)
He is being brought up on ethics charges for not claiming gifts and getting up to 60 rounds of golf paid for by "friends".
It worked with that Ryan guy in Illinois. He did some serious damage to the GOP there. Can't we recall these guys immediately?
Taft needs to RESIGN now!
The short version:
Taft took numerous golf outings with a Republican heavyweight, Thomas Noe, and failed to report them on the appropriate disclosure forms.
Noe, as everyone in Ohio now knows, has been basically gambling away state BWC money on coin & other collectible investments. Or, as some would say, robbing the state of millions of dollars. He is currently under investigation by local, state & federal authorities for this & related reasons.
He is basically kryptonite to Republicans in Ohio now.
Where's your link?
It's Bush's fault.
