Is there some funny business going on in Ohio politics and campaign donations?
The Feds are zeroing in on the fundraising of Congressman Jim Renacci and Senate candidate Josh Mandel.
It appears the Feds probe is over $200,000 of campaign donations from more than a dozen employees from The Suarez Corporation located in North Canton to U.S. Representative Jim Renacci and U.S. Senate candidate and current State Treasurer Josh Mandel.
The Suarez Corporation is a direct marketing company and it's been reported more than a dozen employees gave the max donation of five grand. The question is: Did these employees give their own donations or were others funneling the cash to the campaigns?
Sherrod Brown is running against Mandel in November and Brown's Campaign Director tells reporter Scott Taylor that Josh Mandel has repeatedly demonstrated he's nothing more than a politician who can't be trusted, but the fact that his campaign is now part of a federal investigation -- over $100,000 in questionable contributions that Mandel solicited while ignoring his job -- is a new low, even for him.
Josh Mandel's campaign says, "We are aware of the investigation and are fully cooperating. Neither the campaign nor anyone associated with it is a subject of the investigation. Our campaign is setting aside $100,000 in a separate account pending the outcome of the investigation. The money may be returned or donated to charity."
Jim Renacci's campaign says Jim nor anyone involved in his campaign is the target of this investigation. However should we discover at any point that donations made to our campaign were not made in full compliance with the law -- they will be returned.
Betty Sutton, Renacci's opponent in November, says "given the seriousness of the investigation into a pattern of highly irregular contributions to Congressman Renacci, he should return the questionable contributions immediately."

The outlook for job in Northeast of Ohio looks pretty promising according to a new report released by Team NEO. In the next decade they estimate the area to add 150,000 jobs. There is a bit a problem though and it will be finding the qualified and educated workers to fill the jobs especially in the medical industry. According to Jenny Febbs with Team NEO the challenge will be getting our young educated population to stay home as well as attracting people from other parts of the county.More >>
