Ohio Politics Keep Getting Uglier: As more and more Republican officials become embroiled in the improprieties going on in Ohio (from my post on June 28: "And for those who still aren't caught up on it, there is even more reason to pay attention to the weird and ever-more twisted Ohio scandal which is implicating more and more Ohio government officials."), the Democratic HQ in Ohio was broken into.
Here's a sample: "Jason Mauk, a spokesman for the Ohio Republican Party, said the state GOP had nothing to do with the break-in. 'I certainly hope the implication is that this was not politically motivated,' Mr. Mauk said. 'I can guarantee from our perspective that this is not the case.'He added, 'It sounds to me like Mayor [Michael] Coleman has a crime problem that they need to address.' There were two other burglaries nearby on Monday night, both at restaurants.In one case, someone smashed a window of a restaurant and stole $150 in property. In another, someone used a piece of concrete to shatter a rear glass door of a restaurant, police said.Dan Trevas, a spokesman for Columbus Mayor Michael Coleman, a Democratic gubernatorial candidate, said every crime is taken seriously by police, and the burglary will be investigated.'The Republicans ought to be more concerned about the crimes that are happening in state government,' Mr. Trevas said.'The Republicans ought not to be throwing stones near the pile of glass that used to be the house that they lived in.'
