Time for a new sheriff in town; Senator Dann, are you listening?

From John Curry

I was going to put the "not STRS related" rider in the title, but yes, this is STRS related!

The current Attorney General (Petro) and State Auditor (Montgomery) blindly sat by and ignored the misspending and mismanagement by STRS while they were ON THE BOARD and apparently oblivious to what was going on behind their backs -- or were they?

The current governor helped them "stay clean" and above the current STRS ethics mess by his veto for the funding of an STRS investigation by the Inspector General. And the Secy. of State (Blackwell), well, I'll give him a pass on the STRS fiasco, but not on the current "pay to play" game that Taft, Petro and Montgomery also seem to like to play.

A former U.S. President said it well in a statement (which crosses both party lines) that describes the above leadership plague on the Buckeye State: "We, the people, are the boss, and we will get the kind of political leadership, be it good or bad, that we deserve." (JFK)

Now, for the new Sheriff in town? Will Sen. Dann run for the office of Ohio Attorney General? God, I hope so!

"Right now, the governor, attorney general, auditor and secretary of state are more loyal to campaign contributors than [to] the people of Ohio." (Senator Marc Dann)
