A complaint that could cost Gov. Bob Taft his license to practice law in Ohio was filed today by the Supreme Court's disciplinary counsel.
{snip}
Last August, Taft became the first Ohio governor convicted of a crime when he pleaded no contest to four misdemeanor charges for not disclosing 52 gifts, mostly golf outings, on his annual financial-disclosure statements from 2001 through 2004.
The most amazing fact about this whole case, is Taft is still in office, proving that Republican oversight is not only missing from DC, but also in Ohio.

Interesting about Taft...here is another incident involving a West Virginia Congressman, Alan Mollohan (D-W.Va.), where a Federal investigation into Mollohan's personal financial disclosures has been launched.
"The Wall Street Journal ran a front-page story Friday that raised questions about budget "earmarks" Mollohan steered to nonprofits in West Virginia. The Washington Post, New York Times and other national media outlets also reported on the situation over the weekend.
A New York Times article said federal prosecutors are investigating whether the $250 million in earmarks have benefited Mollohan's personal fortune. "
