Update: Despite whatever Republican Reps. Jean Schmidt and Michele Bachmann say, the new health care bill does NOT provide money for abortions. (They were on the C-SPAN working on their lies.) Read the bill here---> H.R. 3962.
Why does Jon Husted hate Ohio's public school children? As the former Speaker of the Ohio House, and current State Senator, Husted has had plenty of opportunities to fix the funding for public education in the state. (In 1997, the Ohio Supreme Court declared that the state funding of public education was unconstitutional.) Time and time again Husted has turned his back on public school children while he supported his campaign contributor, David Brennan, owner of charter schools in the state. (See the following links: A., B., C., D, etc., etc.
The State of Ohio is one of the finalists in the Race to the Top program for schools. The program will provide needed funding for various programs (that have not been funded by Husted and his Republican cronies). Husted, according to an article in the Dispatch, is against the state getting the money for education. I hope that those in charge of awarding the funding will give the money to Ohio just to tick off Husted and the elitist Ohio Republicans.
