I’ve seen some pretty bad spokespeople, but Jason Mauk may be the worst of all and Governor John Kasich agrees with him. Mauk is the spokesperson for Building a Better Ohio, the group that supports Issue 2 (SB5). This is the organization that pirated an ad from We Are Ohio, the group that is...
This should make all Ohioans mad as hell. As is typical of a republican led effort, the lies and distortions keep pouring in. I’m talking about SB5 and Issue 2. The Building a Better Ohio the group that supports issue 2 have taken the words of Marlene Quinn from a We Are Ohio ad...
One out of eight drivers in Ohio are without a drivers license. Many continue to drive and have multiple offenses for operating a motor vehicle without a license. The average is 2.8 convictions per driver. Of the almost one million drivers who have a suspension, there are substantial number of drivers who have lost...
This afternoon the Columbus Dispatch is reporting that 1 in 4 Ohio families with children went without food last year. You can read the article here.

To be sure, Ohio has had a response under the current...
The Republicans in the General Assembly are bringing back a new version of the old Jim Crow laws that suppressed the African American vote after the Civil War. However, they have expanded the mission. It continues to be the African American vote they are trying to nullify, but over time they have added the...
I think it’s a little and too late. I first posted about “legal” designer drugs on March 19 after traveling to Wisconsin and Minnesota. Not surprising since Minnesota is the unofficial home of drug and alcohol treatment. My question is why is it taking Ohio legislators so long to wake up to this threat?...
During his campaign for governor John Kasich stated there would be no favors for his supporters. Supposedly, he dislikes special interests. But an article today in the Columbus Dispatch casts doubt on that assertion. Three of Kasich’s best friends, Donald Thibaut, Robert F. Klaffke and Douglas J. Preisse, have set up lobbying operations. Amazingly,...
