Probe links BMW shortages to state officials and 1970s cases
The Chronicle-Telegram reports a springboard probe by BMW and Rhodes alleging shortages and missing records from 1974 and 1975, with 28 000 licenses backlogged and 16 000 inherited in 1975. Stamper denies the charges while calls for recoveries and prosecutions accompany findings of 1.1 million tied to Marsico thefts, only about 2 500 recovered. The article cites political actors Fauver and others backing investigative reporting and notes past criminal actions in Lorain County, including Marsico’s theft and related pleas.
