Josh Mandel

What's Josh Mandel Hiding?

Josh Mandel, Ohio's State Treasurer who is also taking on Sherrod Brown for Senate, is hiding something:

In a letter to Seth Metcalf, Mandel's general counsel, the state Democratic Party asked for the resumes of 34 people Mandel appointed to posts in the treasurer's office, noting that their eighth request from May 3 has not been answered by Metcalf. Democrats have been seeking the resumes for more than a year, with reports surfacing earlier this year that Mandel awarded state jobs to political staffers and longtime friends, including Metcalf, who he went to college with. Mandel is challenging U.S. Sen. Sherrod Brown (D).

State law requires that they respond in a reasonable amount of time to such requests.

True it could be to the fact that Mandel spends more time on his political career than he does his actual job, even skirting the job Ohio tax payers pay him to do.

But this is a darling of the Tea Party, so they ignore anything that might be fishy from their candidates. They just want "the other guy", no matter who it is.

The Man Taking On Sherrod Brown Needs To Answer Something

This is ridiculous:

Ohio Treasurer Josh Mandel (man-DEHL') has emerged this year as one of the most ambitious young politicians in a closely divided battleground state.

The Republican has aggressively worked the fundraising and speaking circuit to amass more than $3.8 million this year in his bid to unseat Democratic U.S. Senator Sherrod Brown.

At the same time, his weekly calendars at the treasury are almost devoid of appointments besides meetings with staffers and speaking engagements. He hasn't held any news conferences to discuss the work he's doing for Ohioans.

This is a major problem in politics today and the root cause is money. Politicians win an office and spend their time in that office working to collect money for their next gig. In doing so they neglect the office they were elected too. In cases like this the person should be impeached from office and forced to repay the salary they had collected.

It's time to take the damn money out of politics and get real leaders in there, not these panhandlers!
