Reply to comment by audiomagnate in Ohio ex-speaker ill, corruption trial pauses after big week by Numerous-Ganache-923

Either third-party auditors, the state auditor (recommended), or more powerful enough, the fed auditors (hey shoutout to GAO OR OIG OR SOMEONE) need to just audit the whole entire state throughput on every level: personal (on general council), local, county, and state

Yea everyone seems to have forgotten the 1 billion dollar online charter school scam too.

The State Auditor is probably the dumbest choice you listed.

He’s a Republican politician in Ohio. Do you want the Republican Party to be responsible for investigating itself?

He’s also a giant asshole who can’t handle criticism and lashes out whenever anyone asks him about stuff like the blatantly unconstitutional electoral maps.

I don’t think him being Republican means anything. Like you’re either corrupt or you’re not. Based on what I read it seems as though he is trying to do his job. We should let the system work in this way. It also concerns me that so many on the local level pretend they don’t have the personnel to perform the audits for the system to work. This actually reduces the level of checks and balances and to me is a HUGE red flag and requires regulations.

But then again, you may be right! He may be corrupt. And if so, replace his ass too.
