Of course!
If the money came out of the Dewine estate, it would have been caught and prosecuted by now. Taxpayers? Pshhh
Meanwhile some Americans have been slaving away in person at dead end jobs for the past year while others have amassed enough government bennies to retire.

I am enjoying my “early” retirement. In 2009 I was laid off and had to cash in my 401K retirement. I watched it all disappear. To be honest, I want my money back and will take (the lazy, free way) as much as I can get.
I am not too eager to look for a job and take a cut in pay.
And some people still wonder how so many Public Employee’s live in Multi Million Dollar Homes.
I’m still trying to figure out what exactly a “non-fraud overpayment” is, myself.
Well, here in WA State our Gov. Inslee’s hand picked person to administer this lost nearly 1 billion. No-one knows where it went. But she did such a good job at losing the money Biden hired her for some position. I guess it pays to be a govt. employee that is feckless.
OHIO PING!
Please let me know if you want on or off the Ohio Ping list.
