Ohio senators seek to strip Taft privilege over records
Democratic Sen. Marc Dann and Republican Sen. Tim Grendell moved to repeal the Ohio Supreme Court’s executive privilege for Gov. Bob Taft arguing the court overstepped legislative bounds by granting secrecy. They say the legislature should decide protections while Taft’s aides continue confidential discussions on matters like investments at the Bureau of Workers’ Compensation. Taft’s office backs the ruling for balancing access and government function.
