The Ohio Bureau of Workers Comp scandal is now hitting Gov. Bob Taft hard. State Sen Marc Dunn has sued Taft to find out what he knew about the Bureau's disastrous investments and when he knew it. Although Taft had released many of his records, some of the words had been blacked out and other documents were not provided to Dunn.

The Bureau of Workers' Comp's investments (the subject of much of the hue and cry) may have been noted in reports submitted by the BWC to Taft that were the subject of the suit. At first, Taft had fought the action, then decided to give in and provide Dunn with the materials. However, Taft has now said the redacted bits were subject to executive privilege, a strange claim as he has already waived that protection in this matter…

Not as entertaining as the previous posts re stamps, gold investments, and shady investment managers, but who knows what the redactions might contain?

In the latest development, the governor's state-hired attorney had sought to have the suit overturned; no further info on this as of today.
