One entry in a record in office
Lee Fisher: The Ohio Elections Commission ruled that a Taft ad about Fisher's record as attorney general, claiming Fisher cut crime-fighting personnel by 15% from 1991-1994, had used a mismatched baseline and miscounted staff, and separately found the same ad's claim that 'Ohio's police' endorsed Taft improper since only the Ohio Fraternal Order of Police had done so; the commission issued a reprimand.
