LUCAS COUNTY
Chairman, 2 others to leave Republican Party posts; fatigue from Noe scandal is blamed

By JIM TANKERSLEY

The Lucas County Republican Party, already struggling with campaign-finance investigations and fund-raising woes in the wake of scandals surrounding former Chairman Tom Noe, revealed yesterday that three of its leaders have resigned or plan to do so soon.

Interim Chairman Doug Haynam told party executive committee members this week that he will leave his post “as soon as possible.” Vice Chairman Steve Hornyak resigned Nov. 9, and Treasurer Patrick Kriner will step down Dec. 1.

The moves come amid an internal investigation into who gave the county party nearly $190,000 over the last three years.

Officials have told the county elections board they can’t match donor names to the contributions, and Mr. Kriner said his and Mr. Haynam’s pending departure likely means they never will.

2. What a greasy, bloated, fetid turd!

I find it stunning that they didn't keep ANY books. Even the damn MOB kept two sets, one for the IRS, one for themselves! Sheesh!

than the average Repug. (And apparently more accountable as well.)

3. "Fatigue" my ass!

Scurry, little rats.

5. Bull

They are't tired, they are caught. They are nothing but dirty, low down cheating Republican crooks who don't want to face the consequences of their actions.
