Tom Noe, the Ohio Republican fundraiser who is under investigation for, er, misplacing over $10 million in state funds, is also making news in the Florida Keys. A friend who is knowledgable about goings-on down in Margaritaville writes:

Tom Noe’s name keeps popping up in the news in Florida for two reasons — he rented his house in the Keys to prominent Ohio politicians for less than market rate, and now he’s trying (secretly at first, but now he’s busted and it’s public) to sell the place quickly for $4.6 mill.

Speculation is, Noe will need the money for legal fees.

This just in: The bigger story right now is the rush of GOPers to return Noe’s contributions. Sounds like they’re tripping over each other to do it.
