Mayor fines himself for disobeying rule

The AP reports:
The mayor of this central Ohio city caught someone violating a city employee policy -- himself.

Mayor Bruce Bain fined himself $368 for sending an e-mail that promoted his son's part-time beverage business to city workers.

''You have to use the computer only for city business. How can I say to a city employee, 'Don't do that,' if I do it?''
Mayor Bain would never make it in Chicago.
