Columbus- Tom Noe, already facing federal charges of laundering campaign money to President Bush, also disguised a contribution to a statewide re-election campaign, according to the chief justice of the Ohio Supreme Court.

The revelation by Chief Justice Thomas Moyer marks the first public allegation that Noe illegally funneled campaign money to a statewide candidate. The new information raises the stakes and further inflames a political scandal that has enveloped the capital for seven months.

Moyer said he was notified last week that the $1,000 contribution he received from H. Douglas Talbott on July 25, 2004, actually came from Noe. Talbott, 41, is a former top aide to Govs. Bob Taft and George Voinovich.

Moyer, along with fellow Republican Justices Terrence O'Donnell and Judith Lanzinger - who also each received $1,000 from Talbott on the same date - have placed those donations in escrow accounts. The justices said they were unaware a problem existed...


Ohio justices hear claims about Taft memos

COLUMBUS - In a case that could have a dramatic effect on Ohio's public records law, an attorney representing Gov. Bob Taft yesterday told the Ohio Supreme Court that the governor has the power to withhold all memos written by high-ranking aides from citizens and the press.

During oral arguments that included references to lawsuits involving former President Richard Nixon and Vice President Dick Cheney, attorneys representing Mr. Taft and state Sen. Marc Dann, a Democrat from the Youngstown area, clashed on the issue of whether Ohio's governor has "executive privilege." That is the principle that a government official can't be forced to disclose confidential communications if that disclosure would harm how the government operates.

"This is an important right not just for one governor, but for all governors,'' said Kathleen Trafford, the special counsel representing Mr. Taft.

"There's no reason to go where the governor wants to go, which is it's all protected; we'll keep people from seeing it,'' said Frederick Gittes, a Columbus attorney representing Mr. Dann. "That would be a violation of the separation of powers."..

1. the corruption runs way deep in ohio --

but i come from a state similar -- illinois -- always a republican stronghold outside of chicago -- the people there never cared about conservative corruption only democratic corruption{and if that democratic corruption was in chicago, all the better}.

it's probably the most interesting hallmark about conservative corruption -- their constituents don't seem to mind.
