Republican coin dealer contributions went to Schwarzenegger |
H. Douglas Talbott, a former governor's aide has told federal
authorities that he gave $2,000 to Bush's re-election campaign at the
urging of Noe and was later reimbursed by the coin dealer, The Plain
Dealer reported Friday. A message was left seeking comment Friday.
Talbott appeared this week before a federal grand jury in Toledo that
is looking into whether Noe, who headed the Bush-Cheney campaign in
northwest Ohio, skirted campaign finance laws by giving others money
to donate.
The grand jury is examining whether Noe illegally reimbursed up to two
dozen contributors to a Bush fund-raiser in October 2003.
Campaign finance laws limit how much an individual can donate.
The Plain Dealer also reported that Doug Moorman, another former Taft
assistant, accepted a $5,000 loan from Noe last year, about 13 months
after he left state government to join the Greater Cincinnati Chamber
of Commerce.

Coin dealer contributions went to Schwarzenegger
By ANDREW WELSH-HUGGINS, AP Statehouse Correspondent
Columbus, Ohio (AP) --
California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger won't return $10,000 in
contributions he received from a coin dealer at the center of an Ohio
investment scandal, a spokesman said Friday.
Coin dealer Thomas Noe gave the money last year to a Schwarzenegger
fund that supports the Republican governor's legislative priorities,
such as limiting state borrowing to balance the budget.
Ohio's Inspector General is investigating Noe's investment of $50
million in state money in rare coins, while federal authorities are
investigating whether Noe bypassed election laws in donations to Bush.
Noe's attorney said May 26 that $10 million to $12 million is missing
from the fund, which was given to Noe by the state's Bureau of
Worker's Compensation to raise money for the bureau by investing in
rare coins.
