Something is Fishy 

If you didn’t want people poking around in your business, would you put yourself out there? This is seemingly a simple question, yet there are some that don’t quite understand that concept. There is a group called Let Ohio Vote that is trying to keep slot machines from being legalized in the state of Ohio. They have been very vocal in their attempts to keep slot machines illegal, and have been on the front lines of the battle for a long time. However, they have a funding issue that has not been made clear. Some wonder where all of their financing to battle these slot machines has come from, and the group refuses to disclose it. 

The Secretary of State, Jennifer Brunner, has now subpoenaed the main people behind the anti slot machine group in order to find out where their funding is coming from and to make sure that they are in compliance with state campaign finance rules. However, the slot machine group then countered by asking the state Supreme Court to intervene and stop Brunner from prying. They said that it is not her place to ask for that information and that they are in complete compliance.

However, now many are wondering why, if they are in complete compliance, they wouldn’t show their records? By attempting to block any attempts to see who has been depositing what, the group is making themselves look guilty. They said that she doesn’t have the authority to ask them anything, and basically told her to back off. 

Brunner said that she expected that they would run to the Supreme Court again to intervene. She said that the law requires disclosure, and this slot machine group has not complied with the law. They said that they think they are just asking for this information because they are fighting against the slot machines, but experts say that they will want to give up that information because the longer they don’t the more it looks like they have something to hide.
