It Appears to be legal to bribe an Ohio Governor
http://bluntandcranky.wordpress.com/2013/08/21/it-appears-to-be-legal-to-bribe-an-ohio-governor/"Some Democrats at the Ohio Statehouse are introducing a new bill that they say will make sure Governors can’t receive money from private companies while they are in office.
JobsOhio, the state’s private job creation company recently gave Worthington Industries incentives worth a half million dollars. But questions were raised when reports surfaced that Governor Kasich was taking deferred compensation payments from that company while he was in office."
So, if the Dems have to make it illegal, that means it's legal now. Christ on a trampoline.
