Why do the Ohio Republicans hate public school teachers? Why do the Ohio Republicans hate firefighters? Why do the Ohio Republicans hate police officers? Why do the Ohio Republicans hate all public employees? Are the Republicans hoping to lower all of our wages to $2/hr and working at Wal-Mart?
Ohio Republicans and Kasich continue to belittle and disrespect the work and devotion that public workers in Ohio have shown over the years. During the campaign, Kasich said that he wanted to "...break the backs of organized labor in the schools...." (source: StarBeacon)
After the election he said, "I am waiting for the teachers union to take out full page ads in all of the newspapers apologizing for what they had to say about me during this campaign," said Kasich.......(source: wdtn.com) Is he upset that teachers told the truth?
I hope that Mr. Kasich doesn't hold his breath waiting for that apology from teachers and their unions. Teachers don't forget. Teachers won't forget that Kasich continues to defame the public school teachers in Ohio, underrate their education, accomplishments, and dedication to the public school children of Ohio.
I'm sure that the firefighters, police officers and all the public workers in Ohio won't forget his lack of respect for their contributions and sacrifice.
