OHIO GOVERNMENT SCAM EXPOSED

(Columbus. Ohio) It's always been my contention that vigilant oversight of the government is absolutely necessary since the state is no less prone to scamming the public than any other organization. This story delineates the practice of double-charging by the Ohio State Bureau of Motor Vehicles.

Yesterday, the Ohio Supreme Court ruled that they can't do that and must reimburse $8 million to people they charged twice for license reinstatement. The original lawsuit was filed by Mark Poirier of Toledo and Steven Judy of Perrysburg and became a class action for 20,000 Ohioans represented by Attorney John Czarnecki.
