Friday, February 19, 2016 9:38 AM
The Flint situation has received so much media attention that you might assume it is the only place water is unsafe. The little town of Sebring in northeastern Ohio has the same problem and has handled it in about the same fashion. City officials reportedly knew there was lead in the water for five months before they told the public.

  • Poll the poll questionnaires

    Every day, you hear or read about a poll or two about the primaries. Trouble is, the media do not tell you much about the polls.

  • Betting on the lottery

    The lottery is stacked against you, but you may get some satisfaction out of the fact that you are helping education. Besides, in all gambling, the odds are against the bettor. Bet as you will, but don’t expect to win.

  • Public school funding needs complete overhaul

    Saturday, January 9, 2016 2:44 AM
    In 1997, Ohio's educational funding system was challenged in a case that went to the Supreme Court. By a 4-3 vote the court ruled Ohio's school funding system was unconstitutional. The Ohio Constitution says the state must provide "a thorough and efficient system of common schools throughout the state."

    We live in an era of terrorism. ISIS has made it worse, but if ISIS were to disappear, terrorism would still be with us.

  • Future of charter schools up in the air

    Monday, November 16, 2015 4:20 AM
    There have been enough complaints about the operation of these schools including violation of immigration laws and cheating on state tests that the FBI has investigated, but the Department of Education has not.

  • Classified or not?

    Friday, September 25, 2015 9:52 AM
    I reject the idea that either Snowden or Hillary endangered national security. The classification system is not about national security — it is about political convenience.

  • Longing for the Labor Day of old

    Monday, September 7, 2015 2:45 AM
    We have 15 million workers who work full-time, but get food stamps because their pay is not enough to enable then to feed their families. Is it any wonder that I long for those old-time Labor Days?

  • Charter school problems persist

    Tuesday, September 1, 2015 11:22 AM
    Charter schools in Ohio are not making education better. The billion dollars we were putting into charter schools would do more if we gave it to the 612 public school. The Ohio Legislature owes us a better effort on these issues.

  • Athens County and Ohio deserve better fracking regulation

    Monday, July 27, 2015 3:51 AM
    The Department of Natural Resources is on record as saying that letters from perhaps a hundred or more citizens count less than the words of one oil and gas executive.
