138. I think I understand why Moyers made such a bold move...
I did a little web search and learned that ethical complaints against Ohio attorneys get made to....<drumroll, please>

The Office of Disciplinary counsel, which is under the auspices of THE OHIO SUPREME COURT!

And as if that wasn't bad enough, any grievance filed with this agency gets run past a three-member committee who treats it as confidential UNLESS they determine the grievance has merit. Bet these 3 guys are Moyer's golfing buddies and their kids all go to private school together.

Folks, this is the good old boys' club at its most fundamental. Nothing is going to be done about this conflict of interest unless the general public raises hell with the media and forces it into the forefront. My suggestion is to flood every damn newspaper in Ohio with LTEs demanding that this be addressed. And get the Ohio Office of Disciplinary Counsel's phones ringing off the hook with angry calls about Moyer's conflict of interest.

If we can't win in the court of public opinion, these guys will continue to flout the law and do whatever they damn well please.
