News in Brief: Gov. Strickland gives food bank campaign cash from Spitzer

March 19, 2008 @ 11:25 PM

COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Ohio Gov. Ted Strickland is giving a food bank $10,000 in campaign cash he got from former New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer.

Spitzer resigned last week in a prostitution scandal.

He gave Strickland the contribution for the Ohio governor's 2006 campaign. It was the biggest of the out-of-state political contributions Spitzer had handed out to Democratic candidates and causes across the country since 2004.

Strickland donated the money to the Tri-County Food Pantry in southeast Ohio.
