The Youngstown Vindicator says Gov. Ted Strickland's cabinet member should resign if she abused a state computer for political purposes:
After the public scandals that grew out of the misuse of state computers by disgraced Ohio Attorney General Marc Dann and top members of his office, you would think that everyone in the public sector would take a cautious approach to government property.
And yet, there are news reports today that Gov. Ted Strickland’s top human services aide is being investigated for allegedly abusing her state-issued e-mail account. The probe centers on Helen Jones-Kelley, director of the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services, sending names of potential contributors to Barack Obama’s presidential campaign.
E-mails made public by Strickland’s office indicate extra-official
communication. Jones-Kelley has been placed on administrative leave
while the probe by State Inspector Tom Charles proceeds.
