As reported by The Ohio Republic blog last week, Senate Concurrent Resolution 13 (SCR13) has been introduced in Ohio - it’s goal is to “claim sovereignty over certain powers pursuant to the Tenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States of America, to notify Congress to limit and end certain mandates, and to insist that federal legislation contravening the Tenth Amendment be prohibited or repealed.”
The resolution is sponsored by Senators Keith Faber (R-Celina) and Timothy Grendell (R-Chesterland), and cosponsored by Senators Gibbs, Buehrer, Cates, Hughes, Schuler, and Schuring....
It is incredible that with the State of Ohio facing record-breaking unemployment, business closings, and still no legislation to equally fund public education, Ohio Republicans waste valuable time and money on frivolous legislation.Did Faber, Grendell, Gibbs, Buehrer, Cates, Hughes, Schuler, and Schuring sponsor this legislation because a Democrat won the Presidency? Or are Faber, Grendell, Gibbs, Buehrer, Cates, Hughes, Schuler, and Schuring just letting people know that they are "concerned" because that Democratic President is African-American? Are Faber, Grendell, Gibbs, Buehrer, Cates, Hughes, Schuler, and Schuring showing their bigotry? If you'd like to ask them to respond to these questions and others, you can contact them by clicking on their names linked to their office.
By the way, another measure promoted by the Republicans would eliminate 11,000 jobs within the state government. With unemployment high, is this the time to add to it?
