Happy New Year!
* Do you think it is a coincidence that Ohio Treasurer Josh Mandel, Republican, visits the businesses of his campaign contributors?
Josh Mandel, perennial Republicans candidate, visited Pioneer Pipe, according an article from the Marietta Times that was posted at the Treasurer's page. Open Secrets reports that the chairman of Pioneer Pipe, Dave Archer, contributed money to Josh Mandel's campaign.
| ARCHER, DAVE LOWELL,OH 45744 | PIONEER PIPE, INC. | 12/31/11 | $2,000 | Mandel, Josh (R) |
| ARCHER, DAVE LOWELL,OH 45744 | PIONEER PIPE, INC. | 5/28/12 | $2,000 | Mandel, Josh (R) |
Is this the way that Mandel pays back his contributors by visiting their businesses? I'm just asking.
Why is Josh Mandel visiting high schools and businesses during the day? Shouldn't he be in the Treasurer's office doing his job?

>>> An article in the NewsLeader explains that Ohio isn't doing well under Gov. John Kasich's "trickle down" approach to economic growth. Under Kasich, the rich get richer. Unfortunately, the middle class, the poor, and the unemployed get nothing but crumbs.
In the last year, Ohio lost construction jobs under Kasich. Realestaterama
has the details.
A
total of 10 states plus D.C. shed construction jobs between November
2012 and November 2013, while employment was constant in Delaware. The
largest number of losses occurred in Ohio (-5,200, -2.9 percent),
followed by Indiana, Alabama (-2,500, -3.2 percent) and North Carolina
