Lawyers with the Ohio House of Representatives denied a public records requests for text messages between a sitting lawmaker and the former House Speaker, who was expelled by his peers while under a racketeering indictment related to alleged public corruption.
The following article was originally published in the Ohio Capital Journal and published on News5Cleveland.com under a content-sharing agreement.
“You’re going down the rabbit hole saying Jay Edwards deletes texts with Larry Householder. No, that’s not true,” he said. “Jay Edwards deletes all texts. To members, to other people; I go through at night and erase text messages I don’t find useful.” The Ohio Capital Journal requested all texts between Edwards and Householder between June 1, 2021 and Feb. 18, 2022, the date of the request.
Josh Sabo, a House attorney and policy advisor to the current house speaker, said after a search that “we determined that we have no records responsive to your request.” Edwards said he’d hand over the text if he still had it. He said he and Householder are old friends. Their texts, he claimed, center more around Perry County, Southeast Ohio, Hocking College and life in general than statehouse issues.
