Taft charged with 4 misdemeanors

Remember Governor, "we won't let the special interests stand in our way."

Taft or his attorney, William Meeks, will appear in Franklin County Municipal Court on the charges Thursday or Friday.

According to an Enquirer article
Taft is the first Ohio governor ever charged with a crime. Each charge carries a maximum fine of $1,000 or six months in jail. Prosecutors said it is unlikely Taft would go to jail.


Yesterday Taft said "I will be held to the same high standards as everybody else."

A majority of the state legislature and 2/3 of the Ohio Senate would be neccessary for Taft's impeachment.
