Culture of Corruption Update -- Ohio Edition

This is ONN:
DAYTON, Ohio - A federal agency is accusing Dayton-area prosecutor Mathias Heck Jr. of violating federal law by pressuring subordinates to contribute money and time to political campaigns.

The U.S. Office of Special Counsel said it has filed an administrative complaint with the Merit Systems Protection Board seeking disciplinary action against Heck, a Democrat who is Montgomery County prosecutor and president of the National District Attorneys Association

Heck denies the allegations, saying they are based on an extreme interpretation of the law and that he's confident the complaint will be dismissed.
Mat Heck is a great prosecutor and is one of the few Democrats left that I had any respect for...if these allegations are true, then the Party of Corruption title really does belong with the Ohio Democrats.
