…For those who watch GOP political spending, DeWine's top donor should come as little surprise.

The Lindner family, whose late patriarch Carl Lindner Jr. ran United Dairy Farmers and the American Financial Group, has donated more than $99,000 to DeWine over two years.

…Bengals owner Mike Brown gave the maximum amount per year, $12,707.79, to DeWine's campaign. Reds COO Phil Castellini gave $10,000 to DeWine's gubernatorial bid. Abigail Wexner, whose husband and L Brands CEO Les recently made headlines for leaving the GOP, gave $12,500 to DeWine in January 2018.

Perhaps the greatest law enforcement officer in Ohio history died on September 18, 2015. David Sturtz served for 31 years with the Ohio State Highway Patrol, retiring as a major. In 1988, Governor Richard Celeste appointed him the state’s first Inspector General to investigate public corruption plaguing Ohio’s state agencies. Republican Governor Voinovich, elected in ’91, retained Sturtz as Inspector General until he began to uncover serious scandals involving the Governor’s family business in 1994.

Sturtz uncovered a vast network of corruption in Ohio involving unbid jail contracts going to the so-called “V” Company owned by Voinovich’s family; ties between Les Wexner and Carl Lindner, Jr., organized crime and the CIA; the “Coingate” scandal connected to the Ohio Bureau of Worker’s Compensation and their money laundering into the George W. Bush campaign. As a result of these investigations, Voinovich fired Sturtz in 1994

After Voinovich removed him, Sturtz was hired to investigate the corruption of Columbus Police Chief James G. Jackson. One of the things Sturtz was able to establish is that Jackson destroyed the Shapiro murder file – a report linking Wexner to the Gambino family of New York City through ties to the Debartolo family in Youngstown. He also was one of the first to investigate infamous pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, Wexner’s confidant and fixer.
