He sold the state something like $300 million of junk Lehman Brothers papers and Householder helped
Kasich's "Jobs Ohio" sell the profits from state liquor sales to Kasich's wall street buddies that used money
they borrowed off of the back end of the deal.

Because they're out there. Entrenched, covered by legalese and lobbying. Doing dirty deals in foreign places with banks in tow.

$60 million!! Where can the little guy get even .6 million? Work his whole life and live like a pauper. And these guys are carving it up like a holiday goose.

26. One of those arrested with Householder just started a PAC to support VP Biden
Tue Jul 21, 2020, 11:33 AM
Jul 2020

This needs a lot of media scrutiny. Householder is corrupt as the day is long, but he did cause problems for DeWine, who just declared his fealty to Trump. Householder is a big Trump supporter.

Here is the link about Matt Borges and his PAC for VP Biden.

Householder can be forgiven if he thought he wasn't doing anything out of the ordinary. It's like getting pulled over for speeding when you're simply going with the traffic flow at 85 mph. Why didn't the cops pull anyone else over?
