Columbus- Parking records suggest that the wife of Columbus Mayor Michael Coleman was on her state job only two-thirds of the time she claimed.

Frankie Coleman's parking records are among the documents that have been turned over to the state inspector general as part of an investigation ordered by Gov. Ted Strickland into an accusation that she claimed hours she did not work. She is an assistant manager in the Department of Development.

The records show Coleman's arrivals and departures from a state garage where she regularly parked using a state-issued pass. Those records indicate that her car was in the facility roughly 230 hours out of the 344 hours of a nine-week work period through the end of April.

Mike Brown, a spokesman for Mayor Coleman, said the mayor's wife will not comment while the state investigation continues. "There is no reason to comment on anything until the inspector general's investigation is over," said Brown.

Frankie Coleman did not return calls placed to her office phone on Thursday. She has said she worked every hour for which she was paid.
