Ohio's inspector general is investigating why a state agency director approved checking the state child-support computer system for information on "Joe the Plumber."
Helen Jones-Kelly, director of the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services, confirmed today that she OK'd the check on Samuel Joseph Wurzelbacher following the Oct. 15 presidential debate.
...
Amid questions from the media and others about "Joe the Plumber," Jones-Kelley said she approved a check to determine if he was current on any ordered child-support payments.
Pretty sad when an abusive bureaucrat come up with a better story than that. His son lives with him, what would he be doind paying "child support"?Reports state that he lives alone with a 13-year-old son.
"Our practice is when someone is thrust quickly into the public spotlight, we often take a look" at them, Jones-Kelley said, citing a case where a lottery winner was found to owe past-due child support. "Our practice is to basically look at what is coming our way."
You know, the worst part about this is I can't figure out if it's worse if she's lying, or telling the truth. Because what she just said is that, whenever someone gets in the news, the DJFS people feel entitled to get their jollies by looking into that person's private life, and at any information the government might have about him or her.
So, you want government controlled health care? Think your medical records will be private from people like her?Ohio Inspector General Thomas P. Charles confirmed today that he is investigating the incident to determine if "Joe''s" records were legally accessed by Job and Family Services employees.
The use of a state computer system to search for information on Wurzelbacher is the fourth uncovered by The Dispatch.
Democrat Gov. Ted Strickland is satisfied that there are no political overtures to the check on Wurzelbacher, a spokesman said.
You know, if I were him, I'd be keeping my mouth shut right about now. Not betting my reputation that the investigators won't find anything, and that people will believe the investigations were honest.
