Part 1 of a 2 part series in the Toledo Blade about how Tom Noe corrupted the Lucas County BOE director. There's much more to this story than we're seeing here...
Nearly two years after Tom Noe became chairman of the Lucas County Republican Party, he picked the 29-year-old Mr. Kidd to replace Steve DeBolt as the party's executive director.
"I need guys like you," Mr. Kidd recalled Noe telling him.
It was the start of a close relationship "built on politics," Mr. Kidd said.
