Probe: Spouse of Kasich Cabinet member steered contracts

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — An information technology executive with ties to then-Gov. John Kasich’s administration worked to improperly steer millions in state contracts to his private company, the Ohio state watchdog reported Thursday.

Inspector General Randall Meyer’s investigation determined Rex Plouck, a one-time Department of Administrative Services contractor, worked with the agency’s deputy director to steer as much as $9 million worth of state business to Advocate Solutions LLC, where he had become CEO.
