I realize that they have committee meetings, but they always manage to have those fundraising cocktail parties a couple times per week at clubs and restaurants located in center city. While they refuse to work on fixing school funding, these elected officials have plenty of time to lunch with lobbyists, work on their re-election campaigns, and get travel reimbursements between their homes (you know which members I'm talking about....). It is time for the people of Ohio to demand that the members of the Ohio Senate and House work at least five days per week in Columbus. The state needs help, but these people are putzing around doing nothing.
>>>> John Kasich, a former major director at Lehman Brothers, is a Republican candidate for Ohio Governor. Kasich continues to speak to the GOP sheeples with glittering generalities. Kasich, who is a member of the YOYO Republican Party ("You're On Your Own"--- see my post at Stubborn Liberal). Here are a few ideas from Kasich's mouth----
Dayton Daily News:
....(Kasich) He has proposed eliminating the estate tax – he calls it the “death tax” – which provides money to local governments and gradually phasing out the state income tax, which generates more than 40 percent of general state tax revenue.
So far he has provided few specifics as to how he would make up for the lost revenue, beyond general proposals for remaking state government....
If all this money is eliminated from the state's revenue, would public schools be eliminated? Does Kasich still want to fire tens of thousands of state workers? How does Kasich want to fund agencies that care for the poor, disabled, and mentally ill? Exactly what was Kasich's role in the collapse of Lehman Brothers? (To refresh your memory, see MarketWatch.) Is there a journalist in Ohio with the chutzpuh to ask him any of these questions?
