The most prominent Republican fund-raiser in Ohio was indicted on 53 felonies. Well done!
The 53 charges against the coin dealer, Tom Noe, conclude a 10-month investigation by state and federal prosecutors into the $50 million rare-coin investment Mr. Noe managed for the state insurance fund for injured workers.
The investigation led to sweeping changes at the state workers' compensation bureau, an agreement by Gov. Bob Taft and two former aides to plead no contest to ethics charges, and pending charges against two other former Taft aides.
Governor Bob Taft's approval rating remains at 16%.
