What?

What's in a name? Apparently, Gov. John Kasich thinks it matters for his recent judicial appointments.

Dispatch:

....Colleen O’Donnell, appointed to the Franklin County Common Pleas Court, and Amy O’Grady, appointed to the county Court of Appeals, appear to have been chosen because of their names, not their experience, said Greg Haas, county Democratic chairman....

....O’Donnell, 32, is the daughter of Ohio Supreme Court Justice Terence O’Donnell. O’Grady, 38, is the wife of Franklin County Municipal Judge Jim O’Grady and the daughter-in-law of retired Franklin County Judge James J. O’Grady. She is not related to county Commissioner John O’Grady, a Democrat....

...She (O'Donnell) received her law license in 2006 and last year reached the six years as a lawyer that are the minimum requirement for a judge. She was with the law firm of Carpenter Lipps & Leland at the time of her appointment....

If you are a Republican officeholder living in Ohio, it appears that you'll be able to get a  job for every member of your family. Kasich and the Republicans are trying hard to confuse voters.

>>>> The Republicans in DC continue to go nuts with their investigations. While the Republicans cut money to lunch programs, education, aid to the poor, etc., the Republicans are willing to spend millions of dollars for investigation hearings. The Republicans in the House also scheduled their 37th vote to overturn the Affordable Care Act (known by some as Obama care). Since the Republicans control the hours that the House is in session, it is sad that the Republicans spend so little time passing legislation. They have yet to pass a jobs bill. The Republican House of Representatives has been a total failure.
