After Noe received state funds as investments in his coin business in 1998, according to the Blade, he made $7,000 in contributions to then-Secretary of State Taft, who was running for governor. In total, Noe has given $22,190 to Taft. In 1998, he also gave $2,000 to then-Gov. George Voinovich (R.), who was running for the U.S. Senate that year. In addition, he has given $7,500 to Sen. Mike DeWine (R.-Ohio).

I don't see Secretary of State and future Governor Blackwell on there. Good, I hope he didn't get any money from this crook.

He's clean.
He was not part of the Taft-Graft for the very reason that the RINO Mafia was laying the groundwork for Petro or Montgomery to run for Governor - by trying to squeeze out Blackwell, they basically boosted his chances.
