Director Helen Jones-Kelley said her agency checks people who are "thrust into the public spotlight," amid suggestions they may have come into money, to see if they owe support or are receiving undeserved public assistance.I would like to see one other example of that happening and how Joe's case got leaked to the press.

At least a local newspaper had the audacity to report it.

Thompson "literally demanded" that she write an e-mail to the agency's chief privacy officer stating she checked the case for child-support purposes, she said.
Go get 'em, Vanessa!! Make it 'One for the Gipper'!!

Damn this police state bs lately. The Plumber has a lot more patience than my redneck side would if this were my God-given rights being put to the test.

Niekamp told The Dispatch she is unfamiliar with the practice of checking on the newly famous. "I've never done that before, I don't know of anybody in my office who does that and I don't remember anyone ever doing that," she said today. Not Guilty! Her Demonrat bosses should be arrested.

Not going quietly, not taking one for the team. According to the article she's a Republican so why should she?

Interesting tagline - made me think as follows:
The "common good" will make us all common.
But certainly not gaurantee all 'good', it is in THAT misrepresentation where nObama's DISMAL socialist failure really lies.

Tell me where to sign! I’m in Ohio and would like to see both the Governor, SOS and the person who ordered her to do this removed from their jobs. I would be beyond mad if it were me and the government were looking into my background for daring to ask only a question. Now days t=something like this should fall under “unlawful search and seizure” since this is his personal records. No one should ever just be able to check into stuff like this unless you have given them permission or you’ve committed a crime!

Guess they better start running checks on themselves now 0_-

When is Brunner up for election? Get rid of her. She gives Ohio a bad name.

Look like some Ohio hacks might just be ready for some government supported 'affordable' housing.

So let’s see if we can follow the breadcrumbs here: Jones-Kelley ordered Doug Thompson who ordered Carrie Brown who ordered Niekamp to run the check. Then Doug Thompson ordered the cover-up letter that has mysteriously been withheld from the FOIA response. Funny how they picked a republican worker to run the check. I wonder if that was part of it. Time to order up three indictments and see if Jones-Kelley tries to throw the gov. under the bus.

Yeah, I am sick of reading all the kneejerk comments.
And no, I don’t work for incompetent twits.
My point is, she wasn’t maliciously looking to give Joe a hard time.
You want to see justice done, fine.
Go find the ones responsible, ie. the obviously socialist bosses.
She isn’t of any consequence.
Or else you are all just witch hunting the wrong person.

I think you're on to something.
