* President Obama has suggested that certain tax breaks should end, like those that give tax breaks to private jet owners, oil companies, hedge fund managers, millionaires and billionaires. Republican Leader Eric Cantor said by ending the tax cuts for private jet owners, there would only be a savings of $2-3 billion. So what? Saving $2-3 billion is a start! If ending a tax cuts for wealthy private jet owners means grandma and grandpa keep their Medicare, do it. Saving the elderly is much better than giving more money to some fat cat with his own jet.

* Officer Mike Weinman, retired from the Columbus Department, now with the Ohio Fraternal Order of Police, was a guest on the Rachel Maddow Show on MSNBC this evening. He spoke about how police officers and firefighters would not be able to bargain for safety equipment under the Republican SB 5. The decision to buy safety equipment would be left to city councils across the state. He said that usually police are conservatives but that they've been hurt by those they trusted that wrote and passed SB 5.
**** Congratulations to We Are Ohio for collecting over 1.2 million signatures to get the referendum on the ballot so we can repeal SB 5. We'll need everyone's vote because we'll be going up against the well-funded Koch Brothers, Kasich, and the Republican Party.
