‘Member when we were saying we are chasing states like Mississippi, Louisiana, Alabama & South Caroline to the bottom in education? Woohoo - looks like we are making good on that.
When a six month wait was ordered regarding gas well drilling late last year in Ohio and senior US Senator from Ohio, Sherrod Brown, supported that, Ohio Treasurer and GOP candidate set to challenge Brown, Josh Mandel, wrote and spoke publicly against the halt, saying Brown supports Washington bureaucrats and was a fringe extremist.

They want to argue first amendment? I will give them first amendment: withhold your monetary support for such tactics and unethical bravado.
Uh oh, looks like another case for Politifact-the Globe article opens with a phrase about Mandel fundraising all over the country.

614-466-9624 That’s his number in Columbus.
Such lists are not available. You can only guess at your district when you look at HB 319 if you know how your street address appears in the census data. This is unacceptable. Regardless of how “fair” Rep. Huffman believes the proposed map may be, it’s my state, my vote and my representation. And all of Ohio’s voters - not just the Republican majority among the 132 elected to the statehouse - should be allowed to see it and vote on it without informed voter input.
