Columbus- Ohio's new secretary of state asked for an audit of her office Monday, saying she is concerned about several discoveries since taking over from Ken Blackwell last month.

Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner requested a two-year review of the office and a narrow financial audit of the past six months, when she says Blackwell spent nearly 70 percent of the office's annual budget just midway through the fiscal year.

Monty Lobb, who was a top aide to Blackwell, said Brunner seems intent on continuing to attack Blackwell, the unsuccessful Republican nominee for governor, months after the election. More...

APPEAL FROM NEW SECRETARY OF STATE
Audit of Blackwell office requested

THE COLUMBUS DISPATCH

The new secretary of state, Jennifer L. Brunner, hand-delivered a letter yesterday to Auditor Mary Taylor seeking a top-tobottom review of the office’s finances and operations.

She also cites more than $80,000 in bonuses Blackwell paid to departing employees, a depleted budget and 50,000 unsent letters to businesses canceling their corporate charters, with a suspicion that Blackwell destroyed or removed the envelopes.

But Monty Lobb, Blackwell’s assistant secretary of state, said there was no inappropriate shredding and that Brunner’s staff member who said she saw it fell asleep during an orientation meeting.

Lobb accused Brunner of playing politics and trying to use Blackwell as "a boogeyman." More...

Is Femi-Nazi new election chief, Secretary of State Jennifer Brunhilda, still playing politics?

Maybe she is ignoring the obvious of why 70% of the money is spent. The PD also reported -

heavy spending during the first six months of the fiscal year was due in part to the defense of election lawsuits brought against the state by Brunner's "Democratic cronies."

Let's just hope there is nothing to the "paper shredding" as the "Bush stole the election" conspiracy nuts already have Blackwell and former Cuyahoga County BOE Director Vu in cahoots with each other to steal the election.

Blackwell has caused our party enough damage, let's hope he does not give us a black eye again.
