Cincinnati’s Office of Ethics and Good Government investigated and found insufficient evidence that city resources were used for campaign purposes. A separate part of the complaint, that the campaign manager had provided the aide free housing, was referred to the Ohio Ethics Commission because the city office lacked the authority to investigate it. The city paid the former aide a $30,000 settlement plus accrued leave, and Walsh said he might reimburse that cost from his council office budget."
