Ohio Public Radio’s Jo Ingles explains why.
When he was chairman of the in June 2014, Chris Redfern accused a former top employee of Taylor's of campaigning while on the payroll for her state job.
“The chief of staff was not working because she was attending to activities over at the Kasich re-election headquarters,” said Redfern.
Ohio’s Inspector General issued a report last week that found that employee and another did personal business on the state's time. But the is reporting that top employee, Laura Johnson, was spending state paid time with the campaign, and the paper also suggests a cozy relationship between the I.G. and Taylor.
