The WORST Governor in the history of Ohio:

The state Supreme Court on Wednesday publicly reprimanded Ohio Gov. Bob Taft for his ethics violations in office, a black mark that will stay on his permanent record as an attorney.

Taft, a Republican and great-grandson of President William Howard Taft, pleaded no contest in 2005 to failing to report golf outings and other gifts and was fined $4,000. He could not seek re-election because of term limits and leaves office in less than two weeks.

The Office of Disciplinary Counsel, an arm of the state Supreme Court, said in April that Taft violated Ohio’s code of professional conduct for lawyers, and Taft, an attorney since 1976, later signed an agreement admitting the violation.

Taft has been a disgrace to Ohio and his family name. Now we get our brand new Democratic Governor in a couple of weeks, and Ohio should be making a big change for the better. Thanks Bob Taft for helping Democrats sweep the state offices in a very red state this year.
