Taft campaign gives $34,344 to Workers Compensation
The day before Thanksgiving, former Gov. Bob Taft instructed his campaign treasurer to donate two checks totaling $34,344 to the Ohio Bureau of Workers Compensation Campaign Escrow Account.
More details were reported in Friday's Enquirer, here
A pair of letters dated Nov. 22 from campaign treasurer Mark B. LaPlace say the money originated as contributions from rare coin dealer Tom Noe and his wife, Bernadette.
Noe is in prison on charges of embezzling state BWC money that he invested in rare coins and for concealing federal contributions to President Bush's 2004 re-election campaign. The Noes also gave generously to Friends of Governor Taft and Ohioans for the Third Frontier, the statewide bond issue.
Copies of the checks are here:

Although the bureau received the checks on Nov. 27, they were not disclosed until Wednesday when annual campaign reports were filed with the Ohio Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner's office.
