The Columbus Dispatch - Local/State-Rules for charities were long in the works

The Columbus Dispatch - Local/State: "It took Ohio Attorney General Jim Petro more than a year to build a wall of rules for charities that many of their leaders said would be a barrier to their good works.

And it took the charities just a few weeks to tear it down.

Today is the deadline for charities to comment on a once-sweeping set of rules — covering everything from compensation for hospital executives to procedures for filling out expense reports — that Petro gutted after many charitable leaders objected."
