For more than a year, the state ethics commission has been reviewing whether Wade’s insurance agency’s administration of the township government’s health insurance claims violated state law.
In October 2008, state auditors made findings against Wade in connection with about $1.2 million in health insurance coverage provided to the township government administered by Wade’s agency.
However, private attorneys had advised the township that the agency could administer the claims without violating Ohio law.
This week, Clinton County Prosecutor Richard Moyer — appointed because Warren County prosecutors represent the township — recommended not pursuing criminal charges.
Wade still faces a public reprimand, Nick said.
Wade, a trustee since 1977, was re-elected in November.
