Former Indianapolis Colts quarterback Art Schlichter, whose NFL career was derailed by a gambling addiction, was charged
Monday with stealing more than $1 million from a 68-year-old woman in suburban Columbus, Ohio.
Schlichter has offered to cooperate with an ongoing police investigation into the sale of Ohio State University football
tickets and 2011 Super Bowl tickets, according to Franklin County Prosecutor Ron O'Brien, who didn't provide details
on how the theft charge was related to the ticket investigation.
Schlichter, 50, was charged in Franklin County Municipal Court with one count of theft alleging he stole more than $1 million
from the woman in suburban Dublin by deceiving her about the reason he took the money.
He took the money in cash, checks and credit card charges, according to the charge, which could also involve higher penalties
because the woman is considered elderly under Ohio law. More charges are also likely against Schlichter, probably in federal
court, his attorney said Monday without offering details.
Schlichter told reporters he had no comment as he surrendered at the county prosecutor's office Monday morning. He's
due in court Tuesday.
Schlichter has been forthcoming with investigators and intends to cooperate, said his attorney, Sam Shamansky. Schlichter
will likely remain in jail because he is on probation for similar offenses in Indiana, O'Brien said.
Schlichter, who played for Ohio State between 1978 and 1981, spent 10 years in prison, much of it in Indiana, for gambling-related
crimes. A first-round pick of the Baltimore Colts in 1982, he played for Baltimore, Indianapolis and Buffalo Bills, and the
Detroit and Cincinnati Arena League teams. The NFL has suspended him for life.

These higher rates Co. e about only because physicians are now hospital employees. otherwise physicians couldn't charge these rates and share the windfall with the hospital. Community/rural hospitals probably not buying physicians practices and thus weren't getting the windfall anyway.

The incentive for poor people to get themselves off public assistance and "no longer be poor" is even with help...they're STILL POOR! Being poor, even with some assistance, isn't all that pleasant. (I speak from experience) It's a stubborn myth that poor people, who are on public assistance, are sitting in the lap of luxury. You should try living on just those "freebies" that you mentioned and see how meager they actually are. By the way, I didn't mean you had to buy/own a puppy...just pet one. :)

As near as I can tell the minority has ZERO constitutional obligation to offer a quorum to the majority. A requirement for quorum was inserted into the constitution so that tyrannical majorities could not simply shove through odious and objectionable legislation (which is exactly what they did.) By allowing a tyrannical majority to charge fines against the minority for exercising their constitutional prerogative to deny quorum the court as made a mockery of constitutional governance in the state of Indiana.

The voters elected the Reps to make a vote not walk out on the vote. They had to the right to exercise their opinion and vote "no" to the bill. Let me ask you this if you walked out of your job for 5 straight weeks would you get paid? Would you even have a job to go back to? If any elected official walks out on the people they should be arrested for stealing tax dollars from the public. They were elected to do a job and not leave when the job gets stuff.

I have been to several of their locations in Pennsylvania and always go in for 1 item and leave with a basket full of things. I'm very happy they decided on Indiana, now if only they would put the other store in eastside.
