Bankers Love Stivers
I didn't get my invitation, but then again, I'm not a banker or a bank lobbyist, and I can't afford to give $250 to a candidate. Steve Stivers, a former bank lobbyist, and Republican candidate for Ohio's 15th district, is going to a fund raiser thrown by his bank buddies. According to the Buckeye State Blog, the Ohio Banking League (OBL) is trying to raise money for Stivers, tomorrow night. The fund raiser is being held at the million dollar home of a former executive of the OBL in New Albany. What do you think they'll talk about tomorrow night----- job losses in Ohio? plant closings? difficulties feeding the family? Chances are they'll be talking about how jolly good it would be to have Stivers, a former bank lobbyist, working for them in the Congress.
