Here is some good news from the Marietta Register:
Five members of Ohio’s Congressional delegation voted for the environment and clean energy jobs 100% of the time in the past year and a half, according to the annual Congressional Scorecard on major environmental issues released today by Environment Ohio.
Representatives Boccieri, Driehaus, Kilroy, Space, and Sutton were all designated as “environmental champions” for votes tracked in the Scorecard....
....Congresswoman Mary Jo Kilroy, representing Ohio’s 15th Congressional District which includes Union, Madison and half of Franklin Counties, recognized that human health, jobs, the natural environment are connected. She stated, “I will continue in my dedication to green jobs, a clean environment, renewable and alternative energy, and our parks. Our environment will always be important to central Ohio. We must ensure that our families can live in a cleaner, more secure, economically sound place.”
Congratulations!
*** Another day and we have another announced candidate for office in Ohio. Republican State Rep. Seth Morgan will run for State Auditor. The Dayton Daily News had a few words to describe Seth Morgan in a recent editorial. Here are some of the words that the DDN used concerning Republican Seth Morgan:
...Morgan has been a lightning rod for controversy...
...he gave a flamingly ideological speech, embracing all the conservative hot-button issues
....Besides coming out of the religious right, Rep. Morgan has supported the emerging “tea party” movement with special speed and enthusiasm.....
...his overall direction is that of J. Kenneth Blackwell, who took the party to an historically huge defeat in the 2006 governor’s race....
Ouch! This all sounds very scary to me!
The good thing is that Democrats have a phenomenal candidate in David Pepper. Pepper has been out there raising campaign funds for awhile.
