Kasich Plan Advancing at the Expense of Regular Ohioans

Ohioans are very upset and disgusted with the budget plan pushed by Republican Gov. John Kasich.  In fact, some citizens have participated in protest marches in front of his mansion in Westerville.

SNP:

A crowd of several hundred protesters marched the roughly 1-mile route from Westerville Central High School to the Lanetta Lane residence of Ohio Gov. John Kasich Tuesday evening, March 15, protesting public union collective bargaining law changes in Ohio Senate Bill 5.

Kasich wasn't home, instead hosting a "town hall" meeting on his proposed new two-year state budget at the Riffe Center in downtown Columbus.

The crowd representing seven public employee unions gathered at Westerville Central at 5:30 p.m. Tuesday, where organizers delivered speeches and led chants. Firefighters and teachers were prominent in the crowd, and many brought their children.....


As parents see the results of the Kasich cuts in the classroom, the Kasich home will see more people marching against his agenda.  When elementary classrooms start having 35 students/teacher, high school classes are at 40+ students/teacher, students start performing at lower levels with the loss of experienced teachers, those public school teachers who still have jobs will be making many treks to his home to voice their opposition to his job-killing agenda.


Later, when Kasich's cuts start hitting the elderly, sick children, the chronically ill, and disabled, the children and spouses of those in nursing homes will be marching at his Westerville governor's mansion as well.  The governor and his Republican sheeple need to spend a lunch or dinner time in a dementia unit in a nursing home.  It might be nice if they stay there and help feed the residents, change their adult diapers, provide insulin to those who need it, help them get in and out of bed, and bathe them.  Kasich should also explain to the elderly why he is cutting their access to skilled medical care.


The only people who will benefit from the Kasich agenda are the wealthy who will receive tax cuts, and the owners of charter schools who will get more state money to fund their charter schools.


It might be time to find a way to have a recall vote for Kasich.
