Kids, if you want a lesson in why you take the time to get buy-in and get it right the first time around and avoid other costs you cannot and should not and do not need to risk, look no further than the fiascos resulting from Ohio’s redistricting process.
For those of us who have been willing all these years to give any of our state legislators legitimacy in the first place. Between Kris Jordan’s desire to go back to the smog presence of the 1970s (he must love the smell of emissions as much as Sarah Palin) and this transparency failure in the apportionment drawing, they only make whatever efforts may come out in favor of transparency (allegedly Josh Mandel’s co-opting of the Buckeye Institute’s public salary database) look transparently self-serving and political. What a loss for Ohio.
We have enough politicians - where are the leaders who want to govern?
