MoveOn.org ad rips Boehner; Boehner rips back
MoveOn.org has ripped into U.S. House Minority Leader John Boehner, R-West Chester, and Boehner, through spokesman Don Seymour, has ripped back.
MoveOn on Friday, Feb. 26, released a new ad, which it said would run in Ohio in Dayton’s district, that “thanks” Boehner for being the “Insurance Lobby Top Champion in Congress.”
The ad is expected to be up on Monday, March 1, and run for a week, MoveOn said.
Boehner spokesman Don Seymour responded in an e-mail:
“So this is what MoveOn does when it’s not insulting decorated generals?
“Boehner’s fighting for every Ohioan and American who wants Democrats to scrap their government takeover of health care and start over with better bipartisan solutions that will actually lower costs - something the partisan hacks at MoveOn clearly aren’t interested in.”
Release of the ad comes just a day after a White House summit on health care that showed Democrats and Republicans still far apart on a solution.

TweetCordray uges Toyota to cover Ohioans’ costs
Attorney General Richard Cordray has urged Toyota to extend an agreement for accommodations with New York’s consumers to the remainder of the country, including Ohio.
Cordray made the request in letters today, Feb. 26, to Toyota Motor Sales U.S.A. Inc. legal counsel, Cordray’s office said.
“There is no question that the recall and its aftermath crossed borders throughout the country,” Cordray said in a press release.
“The problems that it caused Toyota consumers were not isolated to New York, therefore the appropriate accommodations and reimbursement should not be limited to those consumers. Ohio consumers should not bare the brunt of costs associated with the recall.”
The letters reference the Toyota Motor Sales U.S.A., Inc., agreement with the New York Attorney General to provide New York consumers accommodations as a result of recent safety recalls, his office said.
The arrangements included covering transportation to and from the dealership, customers’ transportation costs and free rental cars while their recalled vehicle is being repaired, Cordray’s office said.
The letters said in part:
Consumer protection has always been a hallmark of this office. In light of the announced New York agreement and Mr. Inaba’s (president of Toyota Motor North America and CEO of Toyota Motor Sales U.S.A., Inc) statements during the congressional hearing, Ohio expects equal treatment for Ohio consumers with respect to accommodations made for vehicle owners affected by Toyota’s recent safety recalls.”

TweetMorgan, Yost get auditor endorsements
State Rep. Seth Morgan, R-Huber Heights, and Delaware County Prosecutor Dave Yost are touting endorsements as they continue their battle for the GOP nomination for state auditor.
On Thursday, Feb. 25, Morgan’s campaign announced that Summit County Republican Chairman Alex Arshinkoff in Akron had endorsed Morgan. In a press release, Arshinkoff compared Morgan to incumbent GOP Auditor Mary Taylor, like Morgan a CPA.
He called Morgan a “fresh face with bold ideas.”
Meanwhile, Yost’s campaign said the Delaware County GOP had endorsed its home-county candidate.
“I am humbled and honored that my fellow Delaware County Republicans have put their confidence in me to best serve the people of Ohio by protecting their tax dollars,” Yost said in a press release.
The county chair likened Yost to Taylor.
“Dave Yost is a very known commodity in Delaware County. He has a nearly perfect skill set, background, and proven track record in office to help him build on the accomplishments of current State Auditor Mary Taylor,” Teri Morgan, Delaware County Republican Chair, said in a press release.
