COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Ohio Gov. Ted Strickland is facing political fallout over how aides handled a planned sting at his official residence in January.
Strickland moved swiftly Wednesday to get ahead of the criticism by replacing a state public safety official whose confirmation was rejected by the state Senate the night before.
Ohio voters had already been introduced to the issue through months of media reports and an anti-Strickland ad produced by the Republican Governors Association.
The controversy centers on a winter evening when Strickland had invited former astronaut John Glenn to dinner.
