State legislators 'missed the message of the voters' on medical marijuana laws
Thursday, June 14, 2018 4:13 PM
I am angry at our state legislature. Both the Ohio House of Representatives and the Ohio Senate voted to have medical marijuana legalized in Ohio, and Governor Kasich signed the bill. This was right after the voters turned down the proposal of legalizing marijuana. How did they miss the message of the voters? This seemed to have passed quickly and easily. We didn’t even get to vote on it.

  • Support a level playing field for all voters

    Tuesday, June 12, 2018 1:09 PM
    I've been working to have conversations with prospective candidates about their support for measures that would lessen the stranglehold of partisanship on the electoral process. For example: Would they support independents being represented on the Boards of Election in each county?

  • Public has a right to know – except in charter school business

    Friday, June 8, 2018 2:26 PM
    On June 8, the Columbus Dispatch published a column by Denis Smith, a former consultant in the Ohio Department of Education's charter school office, about the Ohio Public Records Law and a May 2 request sent to two charter school sponsors by Ohio E&A and the state education agency for records pertaining to the Gulen charter school chain operating in Ohio. After five weeks, there has been no response from ODE.

  • Now Ohio politicians want credit for ECOT action

    Monday, June 4, 2018 10:52 AM
    The reality of the who-gets-the-credit question is that state officials should get NO credit. Public school advocates, whistleblowers and the media exposed ECOT. State officials got involved only after it became apparent that they would be held accountable for not getting involved.

  • Return of ECOT campaign contributions

    Friday, June 1, 2018 3:45 PM
    The origin of the funds used by charter operators to fund political campaigns originated with public school districts; therefore, it would be logical to return the campaign funds to school districts.

    Ohio's 2005 Coingate scandal involving $50 million in state funds ended with a governor fined $4,000 and the guilty party put in prison. ECOTgate, most likely, involves 10 times the amount of money lost in Coing

  • State auditor: A day late and a dollar short

    Thursday, May 10, 2018 7:58 PM
    As the ECOT debacle plays out, it becomes evident that politics gave it life, but now politics is exposing its corruption and thus its shame and destruction. While the ECOT Man was on the rags-to-riches trajectory, certain state officials, immersed in ECOT campaign funds, protected the ECOT business enterprise.
