Ohio Coingate felon and one-time GOP player Tom Noe sentenced to 18 years in prison.
The state judge had this to say about Noe’s theft of at least $2 million from taxpayers: “a short prison term would demean your conduct.”
Apparently he was unmoved by Noe’s lawyer’s plea that “this was a one-time crime and set of circumstances that I think will never echo at any point in the history of this state again.”
