Letter: Ohio corruption trial deserves attention

There is currently extensive media coverage and apparent interest in the trial of a corrupt South Carolina lawyer. In fact, just a few days ago, The Lima News printed an article by one of its national commentators on this subject.

It is confusing then that the trial of an allegedly corrupt Ohio legislator, Larry Householder, and a former leader of a state political party, Matt Borges, has received only minimal local coverage. The former bilked multiple people out of money, but the latter scammed an entire state.

A Google search produces articles from other parts of the state, but nothing from the Lima area. These articles indicate that testimony in the trial has revealed complicity of other state officials. After recently paying for my subscription, I have to ask who controls the media in Lima.
