* You might want to check out my take on Ohio Auditor Mary Taylor's unconventional work arrangement. Visit my other blog at http://stubbornliberal.blogspot.com for more on Taylor.
* Why is John Kasich pandering to the tea party people in Ohio? It seems that he just can't get enough of them and speaks to their groups every single chance he gets (Plain Dealer).
* Do you think that John Kasich took advantage of a little old lady when he bought his property in Delaware County, Ohio? Many people are questioning the land deal (Cleveland.com).
* Gov. Ted Strickland appeared on MSNBC's Daily Rundown this morning.
*** Did Republican Congressman Mike Turner (OH-3rd) get an earmark out of a bill that he voted against? Turner was patting himself on the back at the news of a new earmark he got for Dayton Defense (see Dayton Daily News), but he never voted for the bill.
Republican Rep. Turner voted "NO!" on HR 3293, Roll Call Vote 646 for money for the Departments of Labor, Health and Human Services, and Education, and related agencies for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2010. Turner didn't even vote for his own earmark and then he shows up at the celebration??????!!!!!!! In my opinion, Turner doesn't deserve credit. I think that if the representative can't "man up" and vote for the bill, he/she should not get the earmark. Turner is nothing but a hypocrite.
