A former contractor for the Ohio Association of Chiefs of Police has been charged with rummaging through state computers to retrieve confidential information about "Joe the Plumber."...
Helen Jones-Kelley, then director of the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services, authorized several computer checks on Wurzelbacher that the state inspector general concluded had no legal purpose.
Jones-Kelley, who was suspended by Gov. Ted Strickland after The Dispatch also revealed that she used her state e-mail account to raise campaign funds for Obama, later resigned. Two of her top aides also lost their jobs.
Wurzelbacher has filed a federal lawsuit against Jones-Kelley and her two former aides seeking damages for violation of his privacy. The former state employees deny any wrongdoing.
But our computerized medical records would be safe from snooping. Always trust the government.
