| Description | COLUMBUS - Gov. Bob Taft appointed Lt. Gov. Jennette Bradley as state treasurer Tuesday, which Bradley says is a step toward sweeping an air of scandal from the office that's responsible for keeping track of about $140 billion.
After Bradley's appointment, Taft bestowed the lieutenant governor title on his development director, Bruce Johnson.
Bradley, a former banker, also had served as the state's director of commerce. Taft said he hoped to announce a new commerce director next week.
The latest shuffle also guarantees Republicans will keep their 10-year grip on statewide executive offices heading into the 2006 elections. Three Republican executive officeholders have moved from one job to another in that stretch.
Bradley, 52, will replace fellow Republican Joseph Deters in January when he leaves to become Hamilton County prosecutor, a seat he won as a write-in candidate last month.
The treasurer's office oversees state finances, including processing tax payments, investing state money and managing state debt. |
