Ex-Voinovich top aide dies
COLUMBUS, Ohio - Paul Mifsud, the loyal defender, tough-guy troubleshooter and deft dealmaker who ran then- Gov. George Voinovich's staff for 5 1/2 years, died Tuesday from complications of lung cancer, a business partner said.
Mifsud, 53, of Marysville, died at Ohio State University Medical Center from an infection stemming from the cancer, Jeff DeLeone said. Doctors found the tumor in March 1999.
"Paul Mifsud made a difference in my life so that I could make a difference in the lives of others," Voinovich, now a U.S. senator, said in a statement. "He was a dedicated public servant who gave part of his life to serve his fellow man."
Mifsud ran Voinovich's campaign for governor in 1990 and was his chief of staff from 1991 to 1996.
As Voinovich's top aide, Mifsud was the raw power behind the politician - the one brokering legislation, calling in favors, placating the powerful, bullying the opposition and rolling in the political dirt.
His work, however, often raised controversy.
Questions arose in the mid-1990s whether he meddled in a state lawsuit against the Carl Lindner-controlled Provident Bank to the benefit of the major Voinovich campaign contributor.
State officials also investigated whether Mifsud awarded Cincinnati contractor William Cargile state work for dismissing a lawsuit challenging the state certification of Asian Indians as minority contractors. Mifsud was cleared both times. However, Mifsud pleaded guilty in September 1997 to two misdemeanor charges that he tried to cover up cut-rate home remodeling work in Marysville from a state contractor. He spent six months in a Union County jail.
