So What's A Round Worth?

One must sincerely hope the Democrats learned important lessons in paperwork from the ethics nightmares of then-Governor Bob Taft when he was dinged for not properly reporting golf and even frozen steaks.

The thought jumped out at me when I got a solicitation from the Ohio Democratic Party (you can read it on this website here from the ODP) to shell out $500 bucks a pop to take in 18 with Governor Strickland and ODP Chair Chris Redfern (also a member of the State Legislature) in their pre-Labor Day outing at Blackhawk Golf Club in Galena.

Just in case you planned on a discount with three other pals there's no benefit to a foursome; it's $2,000 so everyone pays full freight. In case you have cash left over and want to further support the Party tee sponsorships are another $500, hole sponsors an even grand and to sponsor a cart for folks who don't want to talk is a cool two thousand.

Hope those folks who pushed so hard for Akron's campaign finance limitations don't have a hand in doing the same for state politics; at $300 bucks a cycle you would barely squeeze in nine holes!
