Ohio official fired over alleged harassment
TweetCOLUMBUS (AP) — A review by The Associated Press finds that a biochemist who had been previously investigated and sued for sexual harassment was hired as a top aide at the Ohio Department of Health, where he lost his job over similar allegations.
State investigative records say John Francis began an inappropriate pattern of behavior toward women employees at the agency shortly after he was hired in March 2008. He lost his job eight months later.
Before taking the state job, Francis was an instructor at Columbus State Community College, where records show he was accused of similar acts and ordered to take sexual harassment training and meet female students only in public.
Francis denies the allegations, which he says were retaliation for a poor grade he gave and a promotion he did not award.

Does anyone proofread these headlines?
The State of Ohio has been fired! Sound the alarm!
wow.
Wow is that the truth...
Well, I guess that solves the state budget crisis! :)
You are right. Proof read the headlines! Unless it is true that Ohio has been fired. Then that is REALLY some good news!
Does this mean we're no longer part of the USA? Can we collect benefits? Any chance of a lawsuit for age discrimination? Any chance this really has something to do with Ohio State losing last week?
does this mean workers for the State of Ohio can just stay home and do nothing instead of wasteing gas to drive somewhere and do nothing? I see the savings already if so....

Dr Francis is innocent. He did not sexually harass anyone. The real problem at ODH is racism, politics, and waste of taxpayer's money.
