An Open Letter to State Rep. Kevin Bacon

If you live in Ohio, you may have gotten a "newsletter" from your Ohio State Representative. I got mine today from State Rep. Kevin Bacon (District 21). Mr. Bacon asked what things that he and the rest of the ("do-nothing" Republican-controlled <--my words) state legislature should work on in the new year.

I'll make this short and sweet:

Fix the school funding problem in Ohio!

The Ohio Supreme Court found, in 1997, that the Ohio school funding was unconstitutional. However, the Ohio GOP would rather work on less important issues (like the defense of marriage act, building roads in their home districts, and so on...). (See Bricker & Eckler for a summary of the Ohio school funding litigation.)
