Ohio agency head who snooped on Joe the Plumber resigns

Finally, that disgraceful woman has left her post. She was first just given a mere suspension, but now, it looks like she's been forced to walk (Hat tip: Hot Air):
Helen Jones-Kelley, the state official placed on unpaid leave for improperly accessing confidential information from state databases on "Joe the Plumber," has resigned.

Two senior managers involved in the incident also are leaving, The Dispatch has learned.

Jones-Kelley was scheduled to return to work as director of the Department of Job and Family Services on Monday following a one-month suspension without pay.

Today's action comes just hours after the Senate approved a measure cracking down on state workers who improperly conduct checks involving people's personal information. Republicans complained that Gov. Ted Strickland, who promised to set a high ethical standard as governor, was letting her off far too lightly.

The bill will go to the House tonight, where it is expected to be approved and sent to the governor.
Let's hope Obama doesn't give her a new job working for him. All she deserves is to end up in the gutter for invading someone else's privacy for political purposes.

Others on the subject include The American Pundit, McNorman's Weblog, Michelle Malkin, American Glob, SkewRed, John Brodigan.

About me

  • I'm Avi Green
  • From Jerusalem, Israel
  • I was born in Pennsylvania in 1974, and moved to Israel in 1983. I also enjoyed reading a lot of comics when I was young, the first being Fantastic Four. I maintain a strong belief in the public's right to knowledge and accuracy in facts. I like to think of myself as a conservative-style version of Clark Kent. I don't expect to be perfect at the job, but I do my best.
