When you have a job, it is expected that you fulfill all your responsibilities for the position. If you are an elected official, you have responsibilities to your constituents. However, one person in particular appears to be skipping out, abandoning, and neglecting his duties.
Republican Josh Mandel, elected to office in November 2010 as Ohio Treasurer, continues to miss the same meeting every single time it is scheduled. Since taking office, Josh Mandel has not attended one meeting of the Board of Deposits. Through the years, other Treasurers have attended these meetings on a regular basis. Josh Mandel continues to send his buddy, Seth Metcalf, to represent him at these meetings which oversee the state's money.
Ohioans want to know how Josh Mandel has the nerve to miss these meetings.

To add insult to injury, the Illinois House committee on agriculture took up abortion bills. Is someone trying to categorize abortions for women and health care for women to pigs, cows, and crops??? Are these people nuts? (see StLouisToday)
>>> While Republican Rep. Steve Stivers (OH-15) keeps running his sappy campaign ad with flags and his family, he has failed to remind his constituents that---
1. he voted for the Paul Ryan budget bill that would hand out vouchers for senior citizens to get health care. Yes, Steve Stivers wants your Grandma to give up her Medicare (see NY Times) and be given coupons for health insurance.
2. he voted to cut funding for National Public Radio (HR 1076).
3. he voted to repeal EPA regulations that protect the public from contamination from cement manufacturers (HR 2681). Would you like some mercury with your water?
I'll have more as we approach the election.
