The Columbus Dispatch is reporting that the chairman of the Portage County Republican Party, Andrew Manning, has filed an affidavit with police claiming that "allies" of Ohio Govenor John Kasich offered Manning influence over Gubernatorial appointments in return for not running for Republican Party statewide central committee.
A Kasich spokeperson claimed the Governor would never do what was alleged. That sounds like something close to a non-denial denial, meaning that it may have happened, but without Kasich's knowledge. So that might let the Governor off the hook, at least if his supporters don't turn state's evidence. It all then comes down to who these "allies" are. Manning needs to name names so police can get to the bottom of this and then the public can judge the politics of what is alleged to have happened.
If Kasich is another Nixon, we need to get him out office now.
