Groups say the attorney general has been illegally holding over funds.
COLUMBUS — “Two county Republican parties don’t like the way incumbent Democratic Attorney General Richard Cordray has shuffled around hundreds of thousands of dollars in his campaign account.
A complaint filed on Wednesday, July 28, with the Ohio Elections Commission by the Franklin and Summit County Republican parties charges that the shuffling was aimed at letting the Cordray campaign illegally hold onto $765,000 left over from a previous campaign…. Catherine Turcer of Ohio Citizen Action’s Money and Politics Project said in the July 18 story that while she was sure Cordray followed the “letter of the law. It’s certainly not following the spirit of the law.’” William Hershey, Dayton Daily News.
