Lots of people are starting to ask about Republican Mary Taylor's political ploy.
An editorial from the Plain Dealer posted at Cleveland.com:
....there's something fishy -- election-year fishy -- about a partisan clash over a lottery "performance audit" by State Auditor Mary Taylor, a suburban Akron Republican.
A performance audit isn't the same as periodic financial audits. The lottery's most recent financial audit -- for the year ending June 30, 2009 -- showed its books met usual accounting standards....
....Also pushing the smell-o-meter: This is the only performance audit Taylor's launched without an agency request. And Taylor is running mate to the GOP candidate for governor, former U.S. Rep. John R. Kasich -- while the lottery answers to Democratic Gov. Ted Strickland, whom Kasich wants to unseat....
I know it. You know it. Taylor is playing politics with an audit that wasn't even necessary. How much time and money was wasted by Taylor?
*** The anti-women's reproductive group (AKA Ohio Right to Life) are being criticized by David Ryon. While Republican Steve Stivers was endorsed by the anti- reproductive group, Stivers does believe that women have the right to choose in certain situations. David Ryon is the Constitution Party nominee and he is against abortions for any reason. I'm sure that they'll be lots of discussion on this endorsement.
