ToldedoBlade "Emerging scandals put family's reputation in peril"
Awwwwwwwwwww...:)

COLUMBUS - Embracing his place in a political dynasty that boasted a U.S. president and a chief justice of the Supreme Court, and two senators, Bob Taft vowed in 1999 as he became governor to carry on the tradition that ingrained the Tafts as Ohio's first family.

....

More than six years later, Mr. Taft finds himself enveloped in an investment scandal. He's staring down calls for his resignation amid accusations that he broke state law and lost control of his administration.

....

But Henry Eckhart, a Democratic attorney who was treasurer of Democratic John Gilligan's 1970 campaign for governor, said Mr. Taft's legacy will be "ineptitude and scandal - they go together."

2. Welcome to DU crizzo5137 -
Thanx for the article. I think the Toledo Blade is doing a very respectable job these days and I hope the Republican machine in Ohio collapses and stimulates the collapse of the entire national machine.
