Toledo Blade:
Ohio utilities must find at least 25 percent of their power from renewable and advanced technology sources by 2025 under a much-anticipated proposal outlined yesterday by Gov. Ted Strickland.
...... Under the governor's proposal, the electricity portfolios of utilities like Toledo Edison's parent FirstEnergy Corp. would have to be one-quarter advanced-energy technology by 2025....
Governor Strickland's energy proposal will cause many good discussions about how Ohio can move forward in the changing landscape of alternative energy. It is great to see that Strickland is planning for the future. His forward-thinking encourage corporations to re-think how they use the state's natural resources.
>>>> The Bad: Republican Sen. Larry Craig's Behavior
Idaho Senator Larry Craig was arrested for breaking the law. Don't you wonder how many times Craig has participated in this sexual solicitation before he got caught? Have there been other airport bathrooms where he as acted in a similar manner? Has he ever been arrested before for this sexual solicitation? Is this the way that a "Family Values Republican" is required to act?
The Republicans just want Larry Craig to resign and retreat to a cave. They don't want the national media to talk about this anymore. Do you think that the Republicans knew about Craig's compulsion to solicit random sex but they did nothing about it just like they did nothing about Republican pervert Mark Foley?
>>> Silly, Silly Man
Republican State Senator Randy "Mr. Cedar Point" Gardner has a bill that would mandate that schools must start after Labor Day every year. Is Gardner just trying to appease one of the largest employers (Cedar Point) in his district? Has Gardner taken on the role as a public relations person for Cedar Point? According to the Plain Dealer, school districts around the state are not happy with Gardner's bill. After all, shouldn't school districts decide school start and finish dates?
If Mr. Gardner wants to do something, he should get his do-nothing Republicans in the Ohio Senate together and pass an equitable school funding bill. Why do these Ohio Republicans continue to waste so much time and money?
