Some Local (Ohio) News


John Widowfield, OH (R) is resigning from his post in the Ohio House of Representatives. Why? Seems he used campaign money to buy OSU tickets and sell them over the 'net for profit, pocketing the profits. Oops! And this the same guy who came dangerously close to becoming the new Clerk of Courts of Summit County, and actually had the audacity to say this at the time:

"I've got an anti-tax record and I offered voters that I would reduce the budget," Widowfield said Nov. 7. "If people want the alternative ... God bless them, this is America. The voters have spoken and they're going to get what they elected."

They going to get what they elected indeed!
