Chicago strong arm politics. What's new?

Employees at the agency's Cincinnati nonprofits office,
while screening a flood of applications from so-called
social welfare groups last year, set aside about 75
containing the words "tea party" and "patriot" for more
detailed review, said Lois Lerner, IRS director of
exempt organizations. The groups also were asked to
supply additional information that the IRS does not
usually ask for, such as donor lists.


It appears as if Ohio does things their own way as of lately.

Ohio was also one of the states involved in voter fraud during the last election....it does appear to be a corrupt liberal state.
