"Latta the Liar" Reprimanded by OEC


Well it looks like Latta got caught lying again.....

The Ohio Elections Commission unanimously slapped congressional candidate Bob Latta with a reprimand after ruling today that his congressional campaign knowingly or recklessly lied about opponent Steve Buehrer’s positions in political flyers.

Even the Latta campaign’s attorney, Scott Pullins, admitted statements that Mr. Buehrer “opposed’’ prayer in public schools and “didn’t want’’ the Ten Commandments posted were “misleading,’’ a “cheap shot,’’ and a “political low blow.’’

But he argued unsuccessfully that the false statements did not rise to the level of a violation of Ohio election law. More.....

Then it sounds as if his crack (pot) attorney Scott Pullins throws Latta under the bus, but defends himself....

Scott Pullins, attorney for the Latta campaign, stopped just short of issuing an apology.

“It’s not reckless,’’ he told the commission. “Was it misleading? Yes. Was it a cheap shot? Yes. Was it a political low-blow? Yes. Did I want that statement to go out? No. Does the Latta campaign regret making that statement. Yes. But that’s not the standard this commission has to comply.’’


I wonder if the self promoting blow hard of Ohio's conservative blog world, Scott Pulls-it Pullins, will send this out as more of his campaign spam? I also feel this verifies why I would not hire Pullsit to do anything but sweep the garage floor!
