(CINCINNATI, Ohio) — Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost today issued the following statement today regarding Cincinnati City Councilmen Jeffery Pastor and P.G. Sittenfeld:
 

“While allegations of public corruption are resolved in the courtroom, a suspension is the right course of action as even the appearance of corruption has no place in government.”

Pastor voluntarily agreed to be suspended on Friday, Nov. 20, 2020 after Yost initiated suspension proceedings on Monday, Nov. 16.
