COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) - An investigative report says an Ohio State Dental Board director who resigned last year wrongly leaked confidential information about an anonymous complaint against a former board member now charged in a racketeering and corruption case.
The Inspector General’s Office has concluded someone made a complaint about the former member, and then-director Lili Reitz improperly shared information about the complainant with the former member.
Reitz couldn’t immediately be reached for comment.
Cleveland.com reports the ex-member is Dr. Edward Hills, a former MetroHealth Medical Center executive in Cleveland who served on the dental board until 2009. Hills and dentists affiliated with MetroHealth have pleaded not guilty to masterminding a series of schemes to accept bribes while working in the hospital system.
A lawyer representing Hills told Cleveland.com he hadn’t seen the report.
