Still Relevant

*  John Kasich was talking again and this time he provided a tiny bit more information about what he'd do if elected governor.  Here is a proposal by Kasich that makes you aware that Kasich doesn't know much about federal law.  Cincinnati.com:

"You know all that nice space we have in the rest areas on the interstates?,'' Kasich said. "Why aren't we leasing them to Bob Evans?" But a 1956 federal law bars restaurants from rest areas built after 1960, a law designed to protect restaurants at exits...

Of course, Kasich has received campaign contributions from people associated with Bob Evans Farms.

By the way, in a recent ad, Kasich has used old data when he talks about Ohio's education system. That information comes some analysis from the Republican-loving  Dispatch.
