The head of Ohio's Department of Jobs and Family Services is on an unpaid leave because she "improperly used state computers to find out information on 'Joe the Plumber'." (http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20081121/ap_on_re_us/joe_the_plumber_records;_ylt=At4yU84HOVP4Mq3.uTHfy kGWwvIE)
There was no legitimate business purpose for the head of Ohio's Department of Job and Family Services to order staff to look up the records, Inspector General Tom Charles said.
And, yet, later on in the article, it is reported that:
The report looked into 18 background checks into Samuel J. Wurzelbacher, a Toledo-area man known as Joe the Plumber. ...
Eight of the checks were done without any legitimate business purpose, the report said.
So, apparently ten of the searches were legitimate.
Perhaps worth noting is that the suspension doesn't really vindicate "Joe", or anybody else, for that matter.
Just another government official in a politically connected job, trying to do their part for their party. Happens on all sides.
Wait... TEN background checks weren't enough on the one guy?
Who'd they think he was, Secret Squirrel?
