Ohio Gov. Charged Over Unreported Gifts
23 minutes ago
COLUMBUS, Ohio - Gov. Bob Taft was charged with four fuckin ethics violations Wednesday for failing to fucking report dozens of gifts that included dinners, golf games and professional fucking hockey tickets, deepening a scandal that has rocked Ohio's Republican Party.
Taft, a Republican and member of a distinguished U.S. political family, becomes the first fucking governor in Ohio history to be charged with a crime. The charges are also an embarrassment for a politician who has pushed for high fucking ethical standards in his office.
Taft, could be fined 1,000 fucking dollars and sentenced to six months in jail on each count if convicted, though time behind bars was considered unlikely.
Taft will respond publicly on Thursday and is not planning to fucking resign, spokesman Mark Rickel said. Fucking prosecutors said they expected the governor to appear in court Thursday but declined to say whether a plea agreement was in the works.
