Taft vows full accounting of coin fund linked to Noe scandal
Governor Taft alleges up to 12 million in unaccounted investments by the state workers' compensation bureau and notes a 16 billion portfolio. He cites Noe, former Lucas County GOP chair, who resigned both Ohio Board of Regents and Turnpike posts after failing to disclose coin contracts. The Blade reported losses and writeoffs tied to Noe's coin dealings. The case prompts calls for refunds and probes by the attorney general and inspector general with the US Justice Department weighing in.
