(Columbus) – Ohio Secretary of State Frank LaRose issued the following statement today regarding referral of documents and allegations regarding the STRS board:
“My office received a referral from Governor DeWine asking us to review what he describes as disturbing allegations about the STRS board. I’ve directed my Public Integrity Division to expand our ongoing investigation into potential STRS-related campaign finance violations, which were brought to our attention several weeks ago by a tip from a concerned citizen. I believe the Governor’s referral is in part specific to that investigation, but if we find additional allegations or evidence of wrongdoing, we’ll pursue it and take any appropriate action under the law.”
